    Anyone has chance against Rigondeaux? The guy is out of this world, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean that Mares is not a top notch fighter because he keeps proving fight after fight that he's an elite boxer.

      Mares will never fight a Top Rank fighter, I honestly can't recall the last time GBP and Top Rank co-promoted a fight... Mares and Donaire (or Rigo) should have fought at 122. On another note, I'm not sure why Mares or GBP was in such a rush to move up weight; maybe it was a size issue?

        Willingly co-promoted? Gamboa-Ponce De Leon. Forced by purse bid? Lara-Martirosyan.

          I don't know why Golden Boy and Top Rank can't just do flat fee's to promote certain fights, and take turns. If they were smart, that's what they'd do. But now that the networks are beefing too, that won't happen anytime soon.

            No chance whatsoever? Rigondeaux should move up and challenge Garcia at 126 then. You can almost be certain Mares would give Rigondeaux a better run than Donaire did because he's actually capable of fighting on the front foot and bringing pressure at a much higher work rate, with the tools to make it an uncomfortable night. Donaire was abysmal in that role and made it all the more a walk in the park though only a fool would deny that Rigo's counters give a convincing incentive to cease opening up. And yeah, you still favor Nonito because he prefers a guy that is going to bring the fight to him, and he'd have countless more opportunities to land his hook.

            But it does suck we won't see Mares-Mikey because they are the two best guys at 126 as of right now.
            Fight would definitely be made if they were under the same banner. At 126. Maybe we'll get Garcia-Rigo though... At a Catchweight, of course. (per Rigo).

              Well, now that they are competing in different networks, it's even less likely that they will co-promote a fight--let alone any Mares v. (insert TR fighter).

A lot of guys didn't think he could beat PDL, not only did he beat him, he dropped him twice en route to a stoppage. Neither Donaire or Rigo have an easy go at this lil beast.
                yea man...your bwoy DESERVES major props....it took me a while to warm to him after the Agbeko fights....but all hate aside....he's a problem....the more I watch him fight, the more I like him.....he's one of those fighters I can become a fan of in the near future...I respect his game alot!!

                  No he didn't bro. But I like the rest of the post.

                    Yup yup. He's not pretty all the time, but he is effective.

                      mares is p4p top 10 for sure. it's laughable that the ring has bradley (who went life and death with provodnikov,) and guerrero (who got his ass handed to him and ate 60% of floyd's right hands,) ahead of young mares.
