    ]Lets start saying that I thing Donaire is a very talented top 5 p4p...I admire his overall dominant performances...with this said lets begin...
    I took some time to colect some infomation regarding the question of if is Rigo as good for a Donaire fight as the other 122 Donaire opponents..Donaire fought four times past year @ 122 with a run that took him to many consider him fighter of the year...he owned IBF, WBO and emeritus belts..in the way to the become lineal champ he defeated three top ten @ 122 and one possible HOF in Arce..he defeated ranked # 10 wilfredo Vasquez jr by SD, ranked # 5 Jeffrey mathebula, ranked # 1 toshiaky Nishioka and a stay busy fight vs Jorge Arce...He wan two fight by KO/TKO one by SD and one by UD..the two KO wins was against fighters who seem to be past their prime..they didn't tried to fight back..Nishioka was 37 as Arce was 33 years old..they both showed in their prior fight...the other two lasted the whole 12 rounds..being both competitive..vasquez loss a SD that should have been UD sticking behind the jab ina defensive mode that worked against Donaire (not again Arce)..mathebula was very elusive and hard to catch, he threw many soft punches that puff Donaire's face..I propose you guys analise if those two guys who where competitive fights[ for Donaire are way ahead of the WBA champion Guillermo"the jackal" Rigondeaux...

    Lets star with wilfredo Vasquez jr: He was a 27 years old former world champ with a record of 21-1-1 with 17 KO..he have no amateur background...and by the time Donaire fought him he had no belt..he was coming from a KO lost to old Arce..no big fan base..lets see his pro fights

    Robert marroquin 22-1-0

    TOTAL 234- 53-11

    He have two wins over top 10 @ 122(Ricardo Cordoba and Rico Ramos)

    If we compare..Rigondeaux have more wins over top 10 opponents than the other two guys who give a competitive fight to donaire..Rigo's pro opponents had a higher win/loss ratio that the other two..Rigo is ranked # 1..mathebula was ranked # 5 and vasquez # 10..so..as a pro Rigondeaux have achieve alredy more than those two competitive Donaire's opponents...on top of that you put Rigo's ATG amateur experience and we got to accept that right now Rigo is a better opponent....if they deserved the shot..can Rigo have his?..thanks for take your time to read this..happy new year for you all!!!!..[/QUOTE]

    It is undeniable that Rigo deserves a shot at Donaire.
    The guy clearly is a top 5 super bantam weight. I think he brings little reward which is effectively why Arum is in no rush. That said being a top rank fighter means he is reward to Arum if not Donaire.
    I hope he gets his shot.
    I also hope that some of the Rigo extremists on here give Donaire his fair due. The guy is a clas fighter. Likewise, I hope the Donaire extremists give Rigo his credit equally. We dont want the type of "***** V *******" type sentiment with these 2. There is no need for it. I expect them to get it on in 2013. Possibly even as Donaires next fight, if not by the fall at least.

    What's the point of all this?

    When Rigo inevitably gets knocked the **** out, will it have been worth it?

    Tell us about Nishioka?

    Was he undeserving in your opinion?

    He did say some. But I don't think there is a better fight for Donaire at 122 lbs than against Rigondeaux outside of Mares which seems to be even more less likely to happen based on the fact TopRank and Golden Boy rarely work together.

    Nishioka is a very food win as he was clearly number 1.

    Nishioka was in fact #1 but at 37 yrs old and more than 1 yr lay off I wouldn't mark him as the man to beat at 122.He was semi retired and came to collect his last check, he looked below average on his fight against nonito . But I give donaire credit for his win,he was definitely better competition than Arce.
    Vasquez was the easiest belt to collect after jumping to 122. Don't forget he got beat by old Arce.I believe that after losing to Arce , Vasquez regained the belt again.
    Other than Mares, Rigo is the logic option for donaire at 122.
