    What weight do you think he can move to while not diminishing his ability too much, and still remain effective, he's fairly 'tall' frame for his weight.

    I'm thinking 130 but 126 is so deep he should stay for a while

    147, he can easily gain the weight in pure muscle. Right now he has no muscle so just imagine if he actually weight trains.

    140 is the highest I can see him going, but it would take a few years for him to get there..

    He's got just about the same height and reach as Tim Bradley.

    Santa Cruz is taller than some 140 guys you have to look at their bodies and use common sense, you really think Donaire could fight Rios?

    (Right now) This is his peak, anything after this will be great match making.
    (13Olbs tops tho IMO, weight wise)

    Donaire is the next Pacquiao. If Pacman can do it so can Nonito.

    You really want Nonito to become the catchweight princess? He's doing fine don't make him turn into a cherry picking runner like Manuela.

    Nonito isn't as massive a weightcutter as Manny was at 122. His max is 126, but Arum and Top Rank can match him carefully and get him titles to 135. After that, no matchmaking in the world can save him. He's way too small.
