    Yeah but the difference is that Rigo's been really well schooled in how to deal with southpaws , after all 90% of Cuban boxers are southpaws , Donaire hasn't as we saw with Narvaez , Rigo knows how to block that left hook and counter back . Poor Nonito , I hope he doesn't invent an " injury " a week before the fight . ! Can't wait ! . Peace .

    Doesn't matter whats inside the fight. Results matter most cause we're talking about best wins not best performances.

    Can you name me anybody inside Donaire's resume who clones or topples Narvaez's achievements? You can add up Rigo's name too if you want to :lol:

    You'll see the difference between an amateur and a professional when Nonito puts a beat down on the ugly Puerto rican

    i really dont know what Rigo can do...his little tricks may work against bums but Nonito is a killer. boxing off his back foot, pot shotting, jabbing? Look, its not enough to outwork Donaire.

    my god...i hate to think what would happen to Rigo's face once Nonito connects with a left hook !!!!!!!!!

    Ambulance on stand by !!!!!!!!

    Those 2 had belonged in two weight classes. Doesn't hurt much fighting 1 semi-weight class above. After all, 115 is jr bantamweight and, like it or not, he was the top dog in that division.

    Kinda like Segura moving up in weight to fight Viloria but getting embarrassed in return. Why didn't it hurt Viloria? Why? Cause Segura was a famed Mexican - Narvaez isn't Mexican or American either. :deal

    Segura was huge at 108 and had problems making that weight well before that fight, with the fight prior to the Viloria bout taking place well above the 112 limit. Narvaez by contrast was terribly undersized to move up in class, especially against an opponent who himself had outgrown bantamweight, and promptly returned to 115. The mere fact that they coexisted in divisions at one point does not make that fight any less of a mismatch when it actually occurred.

    I do appreciate you noting the name of the division in your post however, as that is clearly something unique to this situation and crucial to keep in mind when making any evaluation of the situation. I suppose it would be no big deal at all if Bernard Hopkins fought Vitali Klitschko tomorrow; they're practically in the same class already since Hopkins is a light heavyweight.

    Yup.

    39-4-3, KO 24
    UD12 Rafael Marquez, UD12 Rendall Munroe, TKO3 Jhonny Gonzalez
    8 year winning streak
    #1 @ 122

    is far, far superior to:

    11-0, KO 8
    KO6 Rico Ramos, SD12 Ricardo Cordoba, UD12 Robert Marroquin
    4 year winning streak
    #2 @ 122

    Hmmmm, agree?

    Using Bernard Hopkins and Vitali Klitschko isn't a fair comparison with Donaire and Narvaez. There is Cruiserweight in between Light Heavy and Heavyweight in boxing.

    Narvaez has successfully grown himself from flyweight to super flyweight (both weight classes Doanire also belong). Why shouldn't he be given a benefit of a doubt to jump at bantamweight?
