BTW, I expect Donaire to move up pretty soon.
Donaire needs to fight the Mares-Agbeko winner

agbeko and mares will give donaire problems if they can get inside on nonito to smother him, but only if they don't take big shots coming in... that's a big if cause nonito is a lot faster than them, with a lot of reach and height, and great footwork.
I have nonito as a decent sized favorite over both.Comment

I never said he was like Williams, but 5'7-5'8 is tall for a bantamweight.
Moreno likes to fight from long range, but he is capable of fighting at all three ranges and is a southpaw. Granted Darchiyan is a southpaw, but the two differ greatly in style and abilities. I suspect Donaire would make him come forward, which Moreno does not like to do. Either way, I'd favor Donaire to win that fight, but if things turn sour, I wouldn't be surprised if Moreno just goes into an all out defensive mode.Comment

agbeko presents a different challenge for nonito, but I think with donaire's speed, power, skills, height, and reach, I'm honestly hard pressed to say that either agbeko or mares beats nonito.Comment

i dont see anybody at 118 or 122 for that matter that can beat nonito. The problem is donaire is a supremely athletic specimen with boxing skills. He would eat up mares & unanimous decision agbeko.
The only fighter within his weight that can match donaire on pure athleticism with boxing skills is gamboa. Juan Ma for all of his potential is a stiff athletic specimen that has shoddy defense.
If donaire can absorb 126 pound power i dont see anybody beating this kid.Comment

I agree with this and the last few posts you made. I like Donaire and think he's a really good fighter, but I still don't think he should be rated as high on the P4P list as he is. I think Agbeko (especially the dude who fought his last fight would give Donaire fits) would give Donaire a good fight. That guy that showed up in the Perez rematch is really special. But that version of him would have to show up because the version that fought the second time against Perez was the Agbeko with shorter crisper punches. If the version who throws wide punches shows up then Donaire could probably win a decision over him.Comment
