    So nothing short of an annihilation of Montiel, where does that leave Donaire?

    I don't see anyone troubling him at 118 or 122 pounds,

    Can he move to 126 or perhaps look for a catchweight fight against Juan Manuel Lopez?

    If Agbeko comes through Abner Mares, make it happen!

    Donaire is the supreme 118lbs'er. He takes Agbeko or Mares for that matter in my opinion.

    Then some great fights at 122lbs also down the track.

    Molitor (IBF) / Vasquez Jnr (WBO) or either of the Jap champs (WBA/WBC) are all to his liking.

    If Arce takes Vasquez Jnr coming up, that's a walk in the park for Donaire due to styles.

    At 126lbs he takes out Juan Ma - easily! That is THE fight I want to see.

    Same but would he move straight to 126? He clearly has the power to match anyone at that weight.

    Do you see him climbing to 130/5??

    He said he wants to unify and I hope he does. After that is anyones guess. Obviously moving up is on the cArds, but how far will his speed and power still be such an advantage?

    Being with Top Rank the likes of Steve Molitor, Guillermo Rigondeaux & Wilfredo Vazquez Jr all having belts at 122 moving up is a realistic chance in the next yr.
    At 126 names such as Juanma Lopez & Yuriorkis Gamboa having belts & also being with Top Rank could be on down the road.
    He may wait for the Agbeko-Mares winner...but either IMO will get smashed to pieces too.
    Clear top 5 pound 4 pounder is Nonito Donaire.

    It's plainly obvious Vic wants nothing more to do with him. I hope he fights Mares next. Don't get to carried away with Donaire...Juanma would destroy him!

    1.) :lol: I noticed too that silence is golden from Vic's camp! He won't be wanting any part of Donaire now. I laughed at his press conference the other week when he said "I made Donaire!" I thought to myself, "what, with your head?"

    2.) :lol: Noooo... :nono

    Yeah Vic would've been put in a coma if that rematch turned out after the first fight.

    Donaire to beat the Mares / Agbeko winner than move up, remember he's still only young.

    Even though Vic would probably get hammered, wouldn't surprise me if he tried to get redemption. Donaire seems to still be improving

    There's no appeal or money in a Vic fight any longer for Donaire. It would be groundhog day and it lacks the zip as a rematch it once had.

    I thought this was a little humerous. Donaire being interviewed about his various belts, head to 1.00 for a bit of comedy relief.

    126 is where the money is going to be at soon...Hopefully Gamboa-Juanma gets made and the winner of that would be a great fight for Donaire.

    I see Vasquez Jr being built as the next step for Nonito, as Kegsy said he is a Top Rank fighter and the Bobfather will want to keep it in house as much as possible.

    Mares-Agbeko winner is the one Id love to see next though..Donaire will be firm fav and should dice them up. But Id like to see him be absolutely undisputed at the weight, be good to see that happen at bantam..been a long time.

    The 'Scene' is quoting a potential unifcation against WBA 118lbs champ - Anselmo Moreno 30 (10) / 1 / 0 for May which will be great if comes to fruition also.
