    You do realize Rigondeaux was in Cuba most of his life right? The guy isn't getting any younger, which I'm sure is the reason why nobody wants to fight him. When will Donaire get the balls to fight him? Rigo will be better at 36 maybe? You have to be a serious nut hugger to not see he has talent way beyond his record.

    Everyone talks about his chin. Did you guys see Martinez dominate then almost lose to Chavez Jr? Do you think that would happen in a rematch? Rigo was dominating that dude and Rigo was basically playing around and got tagged. Big deal, it's boxing. He didn't go down. Pac got KTFO by some bum so everyone can KO Pac?

    You do realize the point of this is to show how blatantly grasping at straws people are when they legit believe Donaire is ducking him and that it holds back his ranking and will negatively affect his legacy.

    As for his chin, I don't think it's particularly a weak aspect of his game. And what most people reference when talking about his chin, it is not the recent Marroquin stunning, it is the Cordoba dropping where he did go down.

    LOL, the Narvaez win is the one of the most underrated win on Donaire's resume.

    Put it like this:
    - a 7-year title holder
    - 2-division champ
    - undefeated (least important though)

    Name me any fighter with kind of resume win :think
