    How do you see this one going down? Marquez is the most recent fighter at 118 I can think of who could really trouble Donaire.

    Rafael is not Darchynian or Montiel, Rafa was the real deal...I'd favor Rafa.

    Rafael Marquez at this point. Rafa has shown me too much at 118, His resume is long and consistant with great comp.

    Interesting style match-up...

    I think I'd favor Rafa due to his ability to control the pace and neutralize a fighter's offense with his own, but Donaire could win a good amount of rounds boxing him and landing some hard counters. I can't be sure because Donaire has yet to reach his absolute height IMO, but Rafa is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

    Rafa is a warrior..

    But nonito a g

    I think nonito could beat him. Points, i don't think he'd stop Rafa. He'd have to be at his absolute best though.
