Consensus rankings now have Donaire at #1. Rigondeaux is #2. At the time of Donaire/Nishioka, Nishioka was the consensus #1.
I agree, Donaire still deserves credit for the win he beat a a World Class fighter who has been a World champ for years. Donaire has an underrated resume since he beat Darchinyan he has beat many past/present and future World Champs.
Man, you call my Segura comparison inapt, your Pacquiao comparison is more inapt. Tell me how is he gonna make the 160 lb scale? he can't even make 154. He's too small for jr middleweight more so than Narvaez is to 118. We can also go farther comparison on how big Margarito is @ 154(or 150 for that fight matter) compared to Donaire @ 118. Your Hopkins comparison is also well off. How in the world would you compare 3-lb difference to more than 30 lbs difference between Hopkins and Vitali? SugarShane_24 is right, Narvaez makes the 118 weight - Pacquiao is very far off from making 160. That should even explain everything. And to think, he even beat Margarito in a 150-weight he couldn't even make. Shouldn't it give Narvaez more than benefit of a doubt who made it 118? Your comparison carries too much exaggeration w/c makes it more inapt.
