    from the image on the link shows Donaire standing side by side with Cotto and Margarito. He's even taller than Miguel Cotto. If he fills up his body properly, I think he has the potential to move up in 3 or 4 more weight classes

    He does always have a malnourished look on his face.

    And Corrales was taller than Mike Tyson. Didn't mean he could fight at Heavyweight.

    Different body types and styles can mean that someone with one build can fight at a weight where someone with another build cannot.

    He is a big bantamweight and its about time he moves up, some great fights @ 126 for him.

    It is obvious he will climb up some divisions with ease. He's got great speed, power and technique and a few burgers would do him more good than bad.

    Yeah it might be possible to move up quite a few weight classes, despite that his weigh in photos don't usually give that sort of "hyper lean" appearance that those destined for higher weight classes have.

    When he hits 30-31, he's going to add at least 10 lbs. Weight just piles on at that age and doesn't come off easily.
