    If you could make either fight, which would you choose for Donaire? According to the Ring poll, its the Abner-Moreno winner.

    This has already been addresses several times on here-

    Rigondeaux will win the poll and literally nobody will be able to answer why he would be more deserving of a shot at Donaire than Mares-Moreno. The posters with any boxing knowledge will say Mares-Moreno, the poster who DKSAB will say Donaire is ducking Rigondeaux.

    Thats whats going to happen.

    I enjoy how people like to pretend Golden Boy-Top Rank issues suddenly don't exist when trying to justify Donaire's disinterest in Rigondeaux.

    I'd like to see a Mares fight the most because I think that's the best fight to be made. But I wouldn't mind seeing him expose Rigo.

    If Mares wins then that's the fight to make.

    Winner of Mares-Moreno by far, Rigo is a glass jaw fraud who hasn't done sh!t.

    Abner-Moreno winner

    Moreno might actually be better than Rigo and more challenging for Donaire due to his slithery, Sweet Pea like defensive style

    Anyone with a brain knowns Mares is the most difficult opponent for Donaire given his pressure style, the same style that gave Donaire trouble against Concepcion

    Trendy, hipster aka self described "hardcore fans" will choose Rigo, because of "sheep mentality"

    Might be true except that Concepcion came in 2 divisions higher at weigh-in. Just saying.

    They would both be great fights. Moreno-Mares winner would be the more deserving of a shot. Rigondeaux would be the best for ESB. Mares would make for the most exciting fight and would probably make the most money. I think a fight with Moreno could potentially be a boring fight, as could Rigo. I would go:

    1. Mares
    2. Rigo
    3. Moreno

    it would be good for boxing if he kos rigodeux, who is hyped up and does not take a good punch.

    Moreno vs Mares winner for me.

    Both of these guys have fought good fighters. Rigo hasn't don't much. People want Rigo because of his style and his amateur accomplishments, but he's too chinny and too conservative in the ring to give Donaire many problems. Rigo really need to step up. Agbeko wants a fight, he should take it.

    I personally think Donaire/Rigo is a mismatch at the moment. Mares or Moreno would give Donaire a much tougher fight.

    It's almost as if Nonito is playing catch up. He has been off and on with boxing having long lay offs.Promotional disputes and

    injuries.It kind of stalled his development.He has the right crew to speed up that up.

    I'd take either in a heartbeat. But I guess I'd prefer Rigo.
