    nah i don't think it should go against him too much

    otherwise,thomas hearn's entire welterweight career is nullified

    yup it does look more impressive now. i remember the martinez fight on how the guy was suppose to be the next big prospect from mexico only to be matched that early against donaire. donaire toyed with him and was saved by the referee from further damaged. it's actually a good decision by the ref so now, martinez can still reign and was not damaged in that fight.

    and yes, it should not be held against him that he is taller. we have weight division in boxing and not height division.

    At FW? Are you kidding? Maybe in 2 years that would be ok.. Donaire came in at 126 lbs at fight night against Montiel. Why the hell would you now want him to face natural FWs who weigh in at 136-140 lbs during a fight?

    Donaire would KO Juanma anytime anyday.... too bad juanma just got exposed.

    Donaire is a total package.

    Donaire is an elite fighter...Juanma is just a good fighter.

    Good scalps for Donaire..
    But outside of Nonito's wins over them what they accomplish post Donaire don't have **** to do with him.

    I wanna see him fight the winner of the bantamweight tournament first before he moves up. Donaire vs Mares or Agbeko then if he wins he could move up to 122.

    Thanks, I just watched rounds 3-4.

    Donaire is like a less flashy version of RJJ. Pulls back just enough to get away and blocks punches to counter with perfect timing. Amazing dexterity from southpaw as well.

    He hasn't done any strength training like Pacquaio has, so it will be interesting to see how much more powerful he could be once he does.

    because nonito is tall, I think JWW is the limit for him..

    Nontio is the second best fighter in the world and he looks good with his hollywood style.

    Donaire is overrated, he wii soon be exposed, mark my words. He struggled with mthalsne and concepcion c'mon.....he caught the smaller montiel with a lucky punch....it's not like he dominateed and koed him and ****..
