Nishioka is the top fighter at 122, its simple
He may not be at his peak but he is not over the hill, thats just laughable

But now that his fighting Nishi people are suddenly saying that he's already over the hill?!? What the hell is up with that?? Coz I certainly do not agree... Your thoughts on this please..
I have also been on record saying that as soon as Rigo was mentiond as a possible opponent for Donny there was a wave of posters (trolls) trying to discredit that fight by saying that Nishi is actually the best @ 122. Plenty of guys to fight -- but pick the oldest and most inactive belt holder and swear up and down that he is the #1. Doesn't hurt to have a promo company like TR parroting that nonsense.
Nishi aint fought in how long? Against who? And when did he fight before that? Against who? Wasn't he talking about retirement earlier this year? Ask yourself these questions and you can answer yourself on whether he is over the hill - YES.

he should be on the decline now but not yet over the hill. that's very evident in his last fight that he still has it.
we'll see how big that decline is with this fight. he had a layoff and usually that's a negative in boxing but he knows his body more than anybody else so it could be bad or good for him.

I never complained of him not fighting Nishioka, I actually saw from a mile away that he would fight him and I knew exactly why. His age and performance against Marquez. I've always looked down on this match up even when a lot of people were saying it's a good match up.

if you put nishioka against any other 122 fighter aside from donaire, he would be more than a good matchup. donaire just happened to have haters that's why they're saying nishioka is a cherrypick.
