Mares or Moreno if he is moving down to 118. Those are his only good options, right?

I rank Rigandeaux and Donaire as the best in the lighter weight classes. That's the fight I really want to see. However, Nishioka is good too. Anything else would be a disappointment.
I agree with Nishioka or the Rigandeaux/Ramos winner. No other fights I'd care to see him in at 122. This fight against Arce's leftover is deeply disappointing to me, even as a first fight at the weight.

If he can't/won't make those fights, he should go immediately to 126 where the much bigger and better fights are. There's no chance of him going back to 118 -- he's said he had trouble making that weight. Much better fights at 126 anyway. He's at least 3 inches taller than Vasquez at 122 as is.

I really wish he'd skipped 122 altogether -- a mediocre division and a waste of his prime, IMO.
