Donaire done nothing for sure.. but that doesn't mean he is less than Darchi.. That 1 loss on darchi will always be there.. its not the other way around that some people think. Darchi needs to avenge that loss if he really wanted to clean his record and say that he beat everyone he had face.. donaire maybe inactive for the simple reason that he mess up his promotional contract before.. not because he is ducking somebody.. you know that for sure..
No ones saying Donaire is ducking anyone but he is wasting his talent & now with Martinez in his tail it may be too late, as for Darchinyan ducking Donaire I don't think so he's already fought some of the best fighters around the weight & proven he'll fight anyone. It may be just a case that Darchinyan has bigger fish to fry i.e Montiel & some of the bigger name, bigger money fights at 122. Not saying he'll win those but at 33 he needs to make his move now & unfortunately knocking out Donaire may not be in his plans!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Yeah darchi fought some of the best but still that 1 loss will always be there.. Don't tell me darchi is better than donaire right now? coz it isn't.. Donaire beat his ass convincingly.. Its not donaires fault that they cant have a rematch.. its Gary Shaw becoz of stupid promotional contract. If donaire is not a big fish so be it.. At least he beat the man of the division he is reigning now.
I agree Shaw should make that fight & as a Darchinyan fan I believe its a fight he can win!
Donaire is very talented & I hate to see him wasting it with all the inactivity. Hopefully he's back on track & can start building his own legacy rather than ride Darchinyans. I think he's got a tough task ahead in Martinez but a win there will prove what a top talent he is!

I got to disagree with this statement bro Galaxy... After the Donaire fight, Darchinyan fought Catubay, Gorres, Kirilov, Mijares and Arce... I consider Donaire a much bigger fish than the aforementioned boxers except maybe for Mijares... Donaire a bigger fish plus he has a loss to avenge, there's enough reasons for the rematch to happen but it's just unfortunate Gary Shaw does not want this rematch fight for whatever his personal motives might be...

Shaw shouldn't stand in the way of a rematch. But I do see where he's coming from. He pretty much made Donaire. Got him the big fight against Darchinyan. And convinced Show Time to televise his fight with Luis Maldonado when it wasn't going to. Only to watch Donaire convince himself he's a superstar and thinking he was owed everything. Donaire demands were the reason Donaire sat on the sidelines as much his he did. Shaw did his best to try and accommodate Donaire and his outrageous demands. Only to watch him stab him in the back and jump ship. Disloyaity at it's lowest.
Yet another reason our sport is dying. Gary Shaw, who also is/was (not sure the state of the EliteXC and if he has fighters under other MMA promotions) an MMA promoter is costing boxing a good fight for his own selfish reasons. I would say to Gary, if you want to really pay Donaire back, why not let the "new" Vic kick his ass? Our sport doesn't need to miss out on any big fights and we certainly don't need promoters of any stature acting like Gary Shaw.
I agree that in terms of money, Mijares and Arce fights could be bigger than a Donaire fight... But you can't totally say that Darchi is looking for bigger fish since he also fought the lesser Catubay, Gorres and Kirilov while ignoring the Donaire rematch which I consider a much bigger fight for Darchi compared to the 3 fights mentioned...
If Gary Shaw said that he don't want to reward Donaire with the "3 belts" that Darchi now wearing then Shaw is really afraid Darchi might lost again to Donaire in a rematch coz if he is confident in Darchi winning this time over Donaire then he should not have blocked a rematch fight...
