    I think he is way better than both, but jumping two divisions is massive and I dont think they are on the radar quite yet.

    If hes able to go up in weight and still carry that speed and power, i see him outclassing JML and out-countering Gamboa. I really think Donaire is that good

    sure, but to jump up 3 weight classes and just take out the top guys is just ludicrous at this point. Donaire is a great fighter but how do we know this guy will be transcendental like Pacman????? He just jumped up one class and carried up his speed and power but 3??

    He had fought at 118 for like 2 years, 04 and 05, so he would just need to move up 2 weight divisions, and by the way he looks, i think he can, plus Donaire is taller than both Gamboa and Lopez, this niggha Donaire is the real deal

    jumping at 126 is being cocky.. but i see nonito being a champ at that weight.. jml and gamboa are at 130 at that time..

    ****, if divisions don't have any influence on how you would pick a fight, **** it - Donaire KO3 Andre Ward.

    Nonito looks too big for a 118 pounder. It showed last night on his physic. I think its safe to say that he can atleast go to 122 without a problem and MAYBE just MAYBE even at 126. But first I think he needs to fight the winner of Abgeko vs. Mares! Then move up one division.

    I don't think it'd be a stretch for him to jump up to 126. He's massive for a Bantamweight and Hasegawa jumped from Bantam to featherweight. However, he obviously wouldn't just rush in and fight Gamboa or Lopez immediately, but he could take a couple fights at 126 and then look to fight Gamboa or Lopez.
