    Disappointing, Narvaez aside, and even then the size disparity will be pretty huge. I'm too tired to delve deeper.

    I heard from Donaire, and he said it would be one of:

    • Agbeko/Mares
    • Arce
    • Moreno
    • Nishioka/Rafa Marquez
    The **** is this? Narvaez is a very good fighter and all, but he wouldn't have a prayer simply due to size, and he's the only decent option.

    Donaire is top 4 P4P. I want to see him only fight the VERY BEST.

    Donaire is not top 4 P4P IMO.

    The second list is far more attractive. Top Ranks list is abysmal.

    Lets see your P4P rankings. Donaire has to be up there.

    Some of these fights are ok but I think Donaire is past the point of taking ok fights.

    Agbeko/Mares, Moreno and Nishioka/Rafa are not doable at the moment.

    Agbeko/Mares - Showtime has options on the winner, Donaire is with HBO.
    Moreno - just signed with Golden Boy and they want him to fight Eric Morel I think :dead

    Nishioka/Rafa - fighting in October, Donaire's fighting in November.

    Think all of these guys are doable for next year. Would be great if he fights 3 times next year - Agbeko/Mares, Moreno and then stepping up for the Nishioka/Rafa winner.

    Just as long as he keeps active, I don't mind him taking a fill-in. He had an unexpected layoff, let him get back into it.

    The list of opponents is very weak as HBO cannot afford to pay a lot for the fight.
    Narvaez might make his miss for a few rounds before taking a severe beating. Him or the Mexican fella would be my pick

    Forgot I started this thread.:lol:

    If you have Martinez ahead of him...............:rosstheboss

    No Eric Morel in my threads please, that man's a ****ing ****.

    I know mate, that's just what I heard from Donaire the other week, that they were the people on his personal shortlist.
