    Give nonito his due. He fought 4 guys this year and did enough to win fighter of the year in 2012.

    Your guy is just riding the coattail of nonito's success. He's a good boxer,very disciplined but he's jealous of nonito's success.

    Personally, I'm not too interested in a Donaire vs. Rigondeaux fight.

    I don't see any value in rushing someone with 11 pro fights into a pro fight against one of the few elite fighters in the world, I don't care how great of an amateur Rigondeaux was. Timing was never right on this...well, I guess it could have been better had Rigondeaux been a more active guy.

    I think if they fought it would be like Trinidad-Vargas all over again and historians asking themselves "what the hell was his management thinking"?

    What's your excuse for not KOing Mathebula/narvaez same **** he didn't engage?:yep ok.That's why Rigo has a better KO rating than your hard hitting boi nonito(72%>62%).33-8 49% KO rating Ndlov?Sure whatever makes you feel better.They're both good fighters fans just want to see them fight regardless of outcome.No need to bash Rigo,people just tell the truth about nonito & it seems to hurt many.

    Right, but bashing Donaire and accuse him of ducking is normal.

    If I remember correctly Rigo has another promoter that came to Top Rank cuz he was third tier. That probably hurts Rigo. Arum, literally, only has partial interest in him.

    Rigo is ready for Nonito, why doesn't Nonito want to fight him if it's so easy? Everybody wants to see the fight, Donaire will get all the credit in the world if he beats Rigo so why doesn't he just put up or shut up? He talks about Rigo a lot but he's not showing any interest in actually fighting him. You Donaire fans are obviously a lot more confident than Donaire is about facing Rigo.

    Not really. Some fans just don't wanna see a loud mouthed communist earn a few thousand dollars with just 11 professional fights.

    Nonito/Rigo will look a lot like Nonito/Nish. Donaire will have to drag him out of his counter punching and egg in into thinking he has a chance offensively to create openings. Nonito will get blamed for another boring fight.

    Be a more active guy...Rigo fought 4 times in 2012...
     
  14. I'm not bashing Rigo- he is a good fighter, no doubt about it and has accomplished a lot in a short space of time, but he hasn't beaten any class opposition and his performances in his fights have shown me nothing to believe he has a chance against Donaire. You just don't struggle to an SD with Cordoba (the best name on Rigondeaux resume) then beat Donaire that just does not happen.

    Here is previous examples- you don't struggle with Valuev (Haye) and beat Wlad.

    you don't struggle with Berto (Ortiz) and beat Mayweather

    you don't struggle with Mora (Mosley) and beat Pacquiao
     
  15. Ioka is fighting today for his third world title in his second weight division. :happy

    And he actually only fought 3 times
