    Donaire vs. Mares for PI/Mex rivalry purposes.

    I think Mares is a little more well-rounded than Agbeko plus Mares doesn't mind trading shots every now and again so I'd go with Mares on this one. Agbeko loops his hooks so I can see that working against him if he faced Donaire. Using a common opponent Mares really impressed me in his fight against Darchinyan, coming back from being down and hurt and while Agbeko beat Darchinyan more easily Mares dealt with the better version of Vic.

    Anyways Donaire v winner of Agbeko/Mares - Make it happen!

    Just thought I'd add, Donaire should also face Moreno as well as you get the sneaking suspicion if Donaire reaches greater heights he'll be accused of ducking him!

    Donaire would beat Moreno pretty easily. It'd be a good fight for him though so he could stay at the weight while waiting for the Agbeko/Mares winner.

    Want to see Donaire vs Mares more, because I expect Mares to beat Agbeko anyway. And strange as it may sound, I think Mares is the better puncher of the two.

    Donaire will win, against both.

    I think Agbeko would have the better chance at throwing him off his game plan. Having said this, I'd favor Donaire 80+% to beat either of them.

    Big fights ahead for Donaire, I hope. I want him to stay at bantam for another 3 fights to establish a legacy at the weight in which to be judged at least head to head with the greats. Agbeko or Mares, Darchinyan re-match, and Moreno would be a pretty legendary run with Sidorenko and Montiel.

    Agbeko and his headbutts would throw anybody's gameplan off.

    I'm a big fan of Darchinyan but I think the rematch died when it didn't happen at SFW after Vic became the man by defeating the trio of Arce, Mijares and Kirillov.

    I'm hoping he beats Perez, but IMO he'd need to do it emphatic fashion as well as either avenge the loss to Agbeko/Mares or at least defeat another top 10 BW he hasn't faced yet (i.e. Kameda or Moreno).

    It's a little complicated but certainly easier to make sense than the difficulties with Shaw working with Arum to make it happen.

    Vic's not getting any younger, while Donaire is maturing into a very good fighter in his prime and stylistically Vic loses almost everytime.

    Donaire beats both of them.

    Mares probably could provide the most entertaining match of the two.

    I think Agbeko could provide the most difficulty between the two (provided he doesn't fight the way he did against Perez in their first fight where he elected to stand and trade the entire fight).

    I think Donaire will beat both but I would rather see an Agbeko fight, just because I think he would give him a tougher fight than Mares and he has a granite chin.

    I want Mares to fight Nonito, I want this cheating **** KTFO...Nonito doesn't have an equal at 118 lbs. after cleaning up the division he should clean up 122 lbs then beat the hell out of Gamboa, Salido and JuanMa Lopez.
