    Is bantamweight still to small for Donaire?

    Many of y'all complaining Donaire should fight guys his own size. Well he has moved up to bantam to fight a live opponent and former champ. He will probably end up at featherweight, I think that is his max, anything bigger might be too big.

    He would actually be too small to be a featherweight....bantam-superbantam should be his normal weightclass.

      He compared his size to Juan Manuel Lopez (future fight?), just a day ago. He wants to fight Abner mares, or the turney winner, power to him. Its too small for 50 percent of fighters

        They list Donaire @ 5'6" I think he may be taller than Manny so maybe 5'7. He is leaner though and has a less compact frame. I think he could work himself to 126 and be effective and win but It would take a major upgrade in physical attributes to face Juanma caliber opponents. A-side meth maybe?

          Donaire's not a little guy, he's like 5'6" but walks around at about 140...I think he can go up to about 126 and still not be at a size disadvantage (I don't know about any higher though)
