Nonito Donaire's next opponent, Omar Narvaez, is a poor, poor choice.

I hear you. He has a chance to be a 5 division champion or something though. I'd favor him over the best at 118 easily. But, how about Rigadeaux at 122? Now that's a scrap I'd like to see. How about Mares, Arce and then Rigodeaux?

all those foos mentioned would get beat down by Nonito. He's the best Filipino to ever lace em up.. this dude is unreal.. he's on that Marquez level except more athletically gifted.. Too bad he wasn't as big as Floyd and PAcquiao... IF he was a little bigger, he'd made Pacquiao look like an amatuer and a fight with FLoyd would be 50-50....

HE's that great..

You may be right about that. The difference between Donaire and Pacquiao is that Pac took formidable challenges on his way to stardom. Nonito somehow allowed himself to stagnate. The less he fights, the less experience he gets.

We would not have known Manny's full potential if he took less challenging fights after the loss to Morales. Nonito, on the other hand, could have been at a higher level now if he followed up his win against Darchinyan with equally or more risky fights.
