Comments Thread For: Oscar Valdez vs. Nonito Donaire Could Be Next, Says Arum

[Boxfan83]

Because Bob Arum doesn't have rights to fighters on both sides of the fight, so he'd be unlikely to go along with the fight, as has been his m.o. for the last decade.

Well to be fair Lomencheko got to fight Russel.

That's the fight I want to see at Featherweight.

Yeah thats for #1 definitely.

Valdez will dominate Donaire, Arum using up what is left of Donaire.

[Boxfan83]

How does Donaire get a title shot coming off a loss? Surely their are better opponents for Valdez?

Instead of another Top Rank in-house fight how about looking at some of the guys on the Al Haymon side?

Well to be fair, Mares just got a title shot @ fw coming off a loss and looked good. Donaire imo, is in the same situation and has the same chance although I think Valdez may retire him.

Well to be fair Lomencheko got to fight Russel.

That was a mandated fight for a vacant world championship, immediately after Lomachenko got beat by Salido. To think that Arum would've taken that fight if he had any other option for Lomachenko is a bit much.

so donaire is the next stepping stone....
hope pac doesnt end up like that...

TBH, I think Arum will work with others but things have to make $$$ense. But I am with you, I would way rather see Valdez vs Russel Jr. thats the best fight at FW imo. Rios wouldnt be a bad fight but maybe after a unification, raza fighting raza takes years off of young fighters.

Valdez is another prospect masquerading as as a champion. His opposition has probably gotten worse since he fought that bum for a title. Donaire is shot to bits.

[Mitchell Kane]

How about Valdez vs Gary Russel.

Who's going to put up the money necessary to make that fight?

[EL_GRINGO]

I don't see this ending happily for donairs,possible career ender
