    Mayweather. If Donaire has a 2013 like his 2012. I think he has a great case of passing Mayweather. It might be easier said than done. Mayweather is sechuled to have quility year with Guerrero and the winner or Trout/Alvarez on his docket. A win over Guillermo Rigondeaux is a great place to start. A fight with Abner Mares or Daniel Ponce De Leonwould be great, but Mares at least is with Golden Boy and Donaire is with Top Rank. It's not imposible but not likely either. After that Chris John than Yuriorkis Gamboa. I think with a year like that. Assumeing that both Donaire and Mayweather win all their fights convencenly. I think that Donaire should at least be in the conversation for being #1 pound for pound. If not the #1 pound for pound.

    Rigo's a good guy to build his resume on.

    Mayweather has only fought 5 times in the last 6 years and mostly against bums and Pacquiao leftovers. Guerrero is a good fighter but Rigondeaux is a tougher opponent.

    Rigondeaux is the #2 fighter in the division so we are seeing #1 take on #2. All the top 2 fighters in the other weight classes always duck each other so it's great to see the best take on the best. We haven't seen a fight of this magnitude since Tyson-Holyfield.

    The only correct thing you said was "Mayweather has only fought 5 times in the last 6 years"

    So you don't think Guerrero is a good fighter and that Rigondeaux is better?

    Guerrero is a good fighter. Rigondeaux is defentaly talented, but with so few pro fights. It's hard to get a full read on him.

    Yeah I get what your saying and we will all find out if Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux is the greatest boxer in history like he says he is on April 13.

    Tonights fight between Rios and Alvarado illustrated why you just can't have offense to win a fight. Rios is an offensive machine but has no defense whatsoever and while Alvarado has a little better defense, it's nowhere near the top level where he can be considered one of the best in his weight class. That is why Donaire and others in the Top 5 are there, they have good to great defense along with their offensive ability.

    Anybody catch the Road to Donaire-Rigondeaux segment where Max Kellerman said if Donaire was a natural 168 pounder, who would win him or Ward and also if he was a natural 147 pounder, who would win him or Mayweather?

    He's practically dominated everybody from 115, 118 and now 122. Your not overrated when you win 2012 Fighter of the Year.

    Donaire has always had more skill than Pacman. People are just now starting to realize how great Donaire is.
