But, who has Rigo beat as a professional? Was Robert Marroquin the way to prepare for Donaire? For me it's hard to get the Cordoba fight out of my head.

It's not like Rigo is any faster than Donaire, nor does he have more pop. Is it possible Rigo is more patient, calculated and accurate than Donaire? Sure, but Donaire is far more battle tested as a professional than Rigo. Far more. He's the safe bet in my opinion.
