Is it fair to say Rigondeaux's win over Donaire eclipses Mayweather's best win?

    Actually he was P4P #3 behind only Pacquiao and Floyd, according to The Ring despite Mosley's year+ inactivity.

    He was actually rated as The Ring's #1 WW heading into the Floyd fight, with Pacquiao and Floyd behind him.

    Donaire was amazing and an amazing win. Coming off winning or finishing runner up for '12 FOTY.

    However, with the emphasis put so greatly on weight, the fact that Donaire was 3 divisions removed from where he won his first title and potential prime weight of Flyweight should factor in to some peoples' answer.

    I'd say that at worst the Donaire win is in the same realm or higher than Mayweathers' top notch wins.

    Lets see what Donaire does beyond this point to potentially further legitimizing that W for Rigondeaux.
