    Did you at any point feel any of those guys were a threat to him, if he was what his fans claimed he wouldn't have lost, losses must have consequences, if your calling him elite today than what is Rigo?

    Rigo is arguably the best fighter in the world p4p.

    Hes just unlucky not to have enough guys around,or time to build a resume like that.

    Getting beaten by a guy who is quite conceivably the best p4p fighter in the world, does not reflect particularly badly on Donaire.

    Donaire still has one of the most impressive resumes in all of boxing

    Yeah I'm starting to think Donaire will get a pass for this, I know how good Rigo is but when people still have Donaire top p4p it's bull**** in my view

    Donaire, an A level fighter, was beaten by an A+ level fighter.

    Donaire was getting outboxed and didn't know how to start a fight. He kept boxing when he should have turned that **** into a fight.

    There was a point when I thought he looks confused, yes Rigo is elite but if Donaire was what they say he wouldn't have been so lost.

    when you've been the best flyweight, bantamweight and superbantamweight in the world, it's kinda hard dismissing him as overrated.

    he earnt his p4p plaudits and rigo earnt the victory.

    credit to both men.

    He wasn't hype he is an elite fighter. He just ran into probably the most brilliant ****er in the world. It happens
