where does donaire rank?

[nivek535]

at 122, where does he rank all time??
does he make top 10?

[GMAN SUPREME]

I think donaire will be top ten by the time his career is over.

Not too familiar with 122 to create a top 10 but he hasn't done enough there to be ahead of Wilfredo Vazquez Sr., Barerra, Zarate, Morales, or Israel Vazquez.

Donaire's two best wins at 122 were against past their prime Nishioka and Arce. However Nishioka was on a good title run at the time too.

If he beat Rigondeaux maybe he cracks in at #9 or something. I can't think of many 122 names.

EXACTLY.
he's no where near as good as he was at lower weights at 122.
so why the fck did rigo suddenly sky rocket to godlike status for beating donaire, despite suffering a knockdown in the process of doing so?!?!!?!

Because Nonito was running through everybody at the time Rigo beat him.

Nonito was barely losing rounds while climbing weight classes.

That's why Rigo got so much credit.
