    My biased cuban opinion will say Rigo, but it will be competitive.
    If Toshiaki cant make it, i would add Moreno to the equation.

    moreno isnt no sb yet.

    donaire got the firepower.

    toshi the physicly tallest, maybe strongest.

    and rigo is technicly maybe the second best fighter in the world p4p.

    so realy hard to pick.

    I'd lean towards Nishioka but it's very close between all 4.

    I'll take Donaire. Although he may struggle at the newish weight class I still think he has the fire power to take out all 3 of them by KO.

    yup they might realy be the case. dude has just so much power and problem is with donaire, he is patient and waits for the accurate perfect punch and he has the single KO power to end it than. wounder how good rigo's chin is :huh

    Donaire is from another planet, i think he'd win.

    I don't think rigo's chin is the main factor. Personally I think his punch resistance and how he will take big shots from donaire over 12 rounds. I see it as a late stoppage for donaire personally, however we can't really make that much of an assumption without seeing more of rigo IMO.

    rigos defence, overall his boxer technic is top, so he might nutilaze those hard shots, he won't for sure not run into an wild hook, but donaire's shots, even hooks are prety fast, so who knows what might happen.

    maybe rigo has to pick him apart in a borefest a la floyd and just do enough to score points and win it on cards and dont run into hard shots. but even if he brawled it out rigo has the power himself to put donaire down, those body punches from rigo are world class.

    I would say that this has been one of the coolest divisions for a long time actually.
    Poonsawat would be a good one to add to the list.

    IM biased towards Mares b/c I liked him before his Peres fight and most ppl called him a cheat and a hypejob yet he continues to win.

    However, Agbeko and Morel aint exactly proving ground fights. Top Blevel fighters yeah, but his only A level win was Darchiniyan IMO, and it was closer than I thought it shoulda been.:think

    after Moreno's boxing clinic last night how could you not add him to a super bantamweight listing, you would just need to find one more to add to it, kinda like a super bantam super six again.

    Yeah I would like to see more of rigo before I am sold on the hype train. Rigo vs Nishioka would be a great fight. How these 2 have avoided each other for this long is beyond me.

    Yup, add Moreno; and stick in Mikey Garcia as a wildcard.

    Rigondeux will not turn out as good as most of you think.

    you forgot donaire has the timing and counterpunching ability to go along with the firepower. anyone who tries to trade with this kid ends up on the floor.
