    We know he'll never fight Mikey, and Mares won't happen because of TR/GB.

    With that in mind, who should Donaire fight that are realistic options at 126?

    I'd say take the Chris John belt, and then perhaps a Fortuna fight?

    Robert Garcia also trains Gradovich so it won't happen.

    tbh Donaire beats all at that weight (if the weight is not too big for him).

    Give it a year and you can add Selby to the list

    Scott Quigg takes this clown out to pasture.

    Love that fight, I thought he would be a good fight for Mares in a few fights time as he hasn't got much options either

    Those weight divisions are stepping stones. Quigg impresses me more than Donaire ever did.

    That's what I'm thinking Selby is a beast at 126 and could be too big for Mare

    Dont know him. Hearn should sign up Quigg. Good talent. His body punching is flawless.

    Yes he is a good talent , you should go look up Lee Selby a few more fights and he`ll be on the world stage, Mayweather thinks highly of him.
