So we're ignoring Donaire (and Rigondeaux) as possible opponents, leaving us with Mares, Mathebula, Bakhtin, Frampton, Guigg, Darchinyan, Hasegawa, Kameda and Romero.
Mares is moving up to face PDL so that's not really a realistic fight anyway. Do you think any of the other guys mentioned would stand a chance? Feel free to give opinions on guys like Moreno and Santa Cruz also.
Only Donaire, honestly. Don't think any of the others winning is out of the question given how Marroquin was able to rock him but I'd make him the favourite over everyone else including Mares.

yea none of them. Only seen a few of Rigo's fights and he's looked either sensational or maybe a bit lackluster. I think Mares can beat him depending of which version turns up
None of them really, although opinions will obviously change after the Donaire fight depending on how many clean left hooks he can take since as the unanswered question seems to be on his chin. I'm expecting not too many but if he can take them well and come away with the win then he's gotta be favored against them all. I think whilst Mares poses different questions than Donaire he will ultimately be opened up to big counters
He schools Mares, did it in the ams and would do it again no question in my mind and Mares is an elite fighter, just styles :deal
The rest I'd have to make him a firm favourite on, he can be knocked out on any given day but he's just that good i only see Donaire as a viable guy to do so
Yeah but other than Donaire and Mares as I said, you think Santa Cruz is the only other person with the ability to do it? I think Cruz is a bit green to be honest.

Yeah, that's what is so amazing about this fight. It answers so many questions. Even if Rigo gets KO'd in 1 round I'll be content with what I learn from it.
Donaire will, no doubt about it IMO. Rigo holds no real advantages in this fight, you can say speed, yeah but Nonito's excellent timing will negate it.
Donaire could outbox him or counter off the front foot and out a beating on Rig.

I'd say a massive advantage for Rigo is patience. Donaire loves to please the crowd and look for one big knock out punch. I see Rigo taking advantage of that a lot. I'm not certain he wins it. He has a big shot in my opinion. If you're so certain he dominates him I think you'll be surprised.
