    He's fighting Vetyeka the man who beat John
    well 126 is stacked with
    Gradovich
    Salido
    Dib
    Mares
    Gonzalez
    Fortuna
    Rigo or Frampton if they move up
    But i see Nonito beating them all either UD or TKO :bbb
    I also think that 126 is his final weight class

    Let's not look past Vetyeka, that's a tough one for Nonito.

    However, he does have a stacked division to potentially do some work in. Don't think he will ever face Gradovich unless he ends up splitting with Garcia (don't know what's the latest with that), Salido is moving up, Mares I think signed with Haymon, and Rigo won't happen.

    However I can see him fighting Vetyeka, Walters, Gonzalez, Fortuna and them Frampton,l that's pretty good at 126.

    No.

    The guy is mentally weak. I've said this many times. The way someone acts tells you a lot about their personality and how they handle defeat. And he always acted like a teenager.

    Donaire is a man-child. He's not mentally strong enough to rule 126. Gradovich would beat him and Rigo will school him again.

    And why is Dib on that list? He sucks.

    I already regard him as the king of the division thanks to his most impressive victory over a prime Vic last year.

    Lets not forget there is Lomanchenko and Gary Russell Jr in this weight class also. This is an exceptional division.

    He's probably the best fighter at 126, but shouldn't be rated number 1 yet.

    Only until Rigo decides to move up to 126. And we all know it will happen eventually.

    Well i was wondering if Donaire still have the destructive power at 126
    thats why Vetyeka is a good opponent to test

    Relies too much on left hook. Alot like Danny Garcia, but on a higher level. Nonito always looked like a natural featherweight to me.

    Salido isn't fighting again at 126 and you forgot Lomachenko, who is the best of them all. Lomachenko versus Donaire will be a good match up after GRJ.

    I doubt anyone at 126 could take a clean left hook from Donaire!
