    It is starting to look like that now.

    I dont blame him. I scored his last fight pretty close. I mean he got the nod but it was not the wipeout some people had.

    Not right now.

    Donaire hasn't established his name at 122 division. He has 1 fight in the division.It's purely s business move.I don't rate Donaire as highly as someone like Gamboa who is a freakish athlete with god given ability of speed and power that can move up and make it look easy.

    Donaire needs another fight at this division to see where he is then challenge Nishioka.Then 1 or 2 lesser title defenses.In the mean time Rigo can build his case and stack up the winning column.Then I see a fight in the future between the two.

    Rigondeaux is 31 and Donaire 30, why wait a year or two to make this fight, why fight Mijares, Arce or the Russian guy for that matter? Go straight to Nishioka or Rigondeaux, clean up and move on, he left alot of challenges behind and he is going to do the same...

    I the end Rigondeaux is going to give alot size in order to get a fight with an elite boxer, just like Gamboa is doing right now and Lara (a natural WW) with a 160lbs Hearns, not that Hearns is an elite fighter but nobody wants to fight Lara

    Looks like Doanire is going to be fighting Christian Mijares. There's someone whose exciting style and resume at 122 both put Rigondeaux to shame. :nut

    It would probably be better if Nonito just didn't talk about Rigo - every time he does, he sounds a little silly.

    His original argument for not facing him was that it wouldn't be exciting. That would set a precedent I'm not really comfortable with - you don't have to face the top opponents if they have a style which could make you look bad? How about just fighting the best and letting the chips fall where they may?

    Donaire just faced an opponent hand-picked to make him look good - how did that work out? How is Mijares likely to produce a much better fight than Rigondeaux?

    That is not true at all, Lara want it to fight Molina again (remember he was sick 3 days before the fight, and could not train properly because shields was with Rigondeaux in Ireland) still he hurt Molina, well back to topic, Molina sign with De Cubas which happens to be Lara's manager too, my guess is that they will fight for more than bragging rights, and trout was talking $hit once Lara's ppl respond it to him, he didn't talk no more...

    Yes it is true, I don't care what excuse Lara had for not performing, Molina wanted a rematch and lara wanted no part of it. Roger Trout has been calling out everyone at 154 even Lara, he has a title as well, and Lara is quiet.

    Lara likes talking about being avoided, but it is all talk.

    Again you are wrong, Trout was offered a fight and Molina hasn't say $hit about fighting Lara, Lara want it an immediately rematch and Molina is with his team, De Cubas, they will fight like I say before but for more than bragging rights, just do the research, right after Williams fight he try to get a rematch then Kirkland, Chavez, trout, Vanes, Canelo, the Russian guy, everyone in and around 154-160, now if you want to keep repeating the same tune without any base, be my guest.

    I read that on BS and on PB too, when it was time to put the money where the mouth is, nothing happen, and they being quite since... And Molina is with De Cubas now is going to be easier to make that fight, but De Cubas will want more money of course, Lara vs. Molina has nothing to do with the fighters now, beleive me he will get his beating.

    Yes Trout offered Lara a shot at his title and all of a sudden Lara's management doesn't even submit offers but Trout is ducking? :lol:

    Yes Molina argues for immediate rematch, Lara says no and fights Williams and gets jobbed, and Kirland coming off beating Angulo gets a Molina match, and you want to say something about Lara calling people out? :lol:

    Get real.
