Who do you want see Donaire face?

Nishioka is a very good opponent- Donaire's best since Montiel and probably 3rd best in his career so I give him full props if he wins this fight but provided he beats Nishioka who do you think Donaire should fight next?

For me it's Rigo without doubt, it's easily his most in demand fight and resume aside it's plain as day that Rigo is a p4p level talent and the biggest threat to Donaire under 126. I'm OK with Donaire choosing Nishioka for his next fight (even though he tried for the nearly shot smaller Arce originally) but if he jumps up to 126 or opts to fight anyone else next besides the man that's been calling him out and the man the fans want to see him against then criticism is deserved IMO. What say yall?

Please lets not make this another Donaire is ducking Rigo thread, at least Donaire's fighting a good fighter so give him a chance to fight Rigo next I say before claiming he's ducking.... This thread is about who he should fight next not about whether or not he should be fighting Rigo instead of Nishioka

 

**** forgot to include Moreno......

my choices would be:

1. Rigo
2. Mares
3. Moreno
4. Salido at 126
5. Gamboa at 126

 

Agreed at 126 he's actually be on even terms with a lot of guys going into a fight imo. I'd favour Gamboa by 70-30 if they fought, he's 50/50 with the likes of Salido, John, Garcia and I'd favour Donaire over Caballero, Ponce De Leon and proly everyone else.

I'd like to see him fight Rigo before moving up though, especially if it's moving up to fight someone who I didn't mention to test the waters....actually the only way I'd give him a pass for not fighting Rigo next is if he fought one of these guys: Gamboa, Salido, John, Mares, Moreno. I'd prefer Rigo to all those fight but those would be acceptable as next fights over Rigo....anyone else and it's a duck

 

Mares is a beast, very underated. A fight between him and Donaire is 50/50 imo. I would have no problem with Nonito facing him next instead of Rigo although I'd prefer Rigo as it's more of grudge match between 2 guys that don't like each other and who have been at each other in media for over a year now..... couldn't knock a Mares fight though, he's one of the only acceptable options if Rigo isn't next. If he hops to 126 and faces someone like PDL or Juanma or stays at 122 and fights anyone other than Rigo/Mares/Moreno next then **** Donaire.

 

So we're basically all in agrrement here: the only way Donaire gets a pass for not fighting Rigo next is if he fights one of these guys: Gamboa, Salido, John, Mares, Moreno. I'd prefer Rigo to all those fight but those would be acceptable as next fights over Rigo....anyone else and it's a duck
