    at 118 ideally, before marquez got into a bunch of wars with vasquez.

    donaire is obviously not as inept as he was made to look by a ring genius but i still favor marquez here.

    Great fight but i think Donaire's hand speed would be the difference.

    awesome matchup... RM was the goods but he would need to keep away from those counters... It'd be dicey the whole way

    Donaire...don't think Rafa can take his shots over 12.

    I think Marquez would time Donaire and catch him with something big. Rafa wouldn't mind leading either, and he was better at it than anyone else Donaire looked like a great counterpuncher against.

    NB I'm not underrating Donaire, Rafa was always just one of my favorite fighters (so I'm a little biased). Even then, I wouldn't bet on this fight.
