    You never know man. If Nonito starts to accomplish a lot.. Who knows.. He might say **** it and try the impossible. Just hire a great strength and conditioning coach and i'm sure he will move up in weight great with the right time.

    You never know! He can unify in whatever division he wants.. He can try that, and move up in the process. The options are there.

      Who started the thread? Who said Donaire may ultimately be a bigger star than Pac? Who is now backing away from his words?

      I'll give you a hint it rhymes with shmoyboy

        True, but I meant popular Oscar caliber opponents to fight in the lower weights. I see a gradual change in boxing though. The heavies have lost shine. The lower weights are getting lots of notice and the growing purses have gotten more people interested in fighting at the lower weights than ever before.

          The Oscar thing is a problem but we don't know what will happen in the sport in 3 or 4 years. Maybe a new star emerges or Donaire moves up far enough to JWW to fight Khan, Pacquaio or gets JMM or something(far fetched I know). We really don't know what will happen. What I do know is we should not be questioning or calling it crazy for Donaire to move up. A few years ago you would of been laughed at if you said Pacquaio would be fighting near the 154 lb mark. Main point being is if Donaire gets in the right situation the intangibles are there to make him a superstar and he would translate much better as a superstar than Manny. Manny is a superstar because of what he strictly did in the ring. Nonito can be a star because of what he does in the ring and that Americans can relate better to him.

                i doubt it. nonito fights in the lower weights & does not have the crazy background hollywood story that pac has.

                He also doesnt have rivals or opponents that pac has in oscar, floyd, & the 3 hall of fame mexicans.

                he can be better than pac but not bigger.

                    Dude stop it. You're making too much sense.

                      There has always been interest in the lower weights in Latin American. There won't ever be that kind of interest in the US though
