      Not only Donaire is very tall for his division but hes also very skilled. At 122 WV2 will be a tough challenge for him.. at 126 Gamboa and Lopez would be too much for him.

        LOL! Ok, I don't see anyone complaining about Eric Morel and Anselmo Moreno. Both guys are taller than Donaire and are BWs as well..

        Donaire beats both btw..

          who's complaining?

            118 pounds. Height means little. If Montiel was at a disadvantage he would have dropped down to 115. But bantamweight was his comfortable weight.

            I suppose Hearns Hearns should be criticized for fighting midgets like Hagler and Leonard.

              Montiel weighed more than him,therefore he was 'bigger'.they have weightclasses for a reason,height isnt very important in boxing,you are an idiot

                I know you aren't complaining, it's the bitter haters who I am referring to.

                But going back on topic, Nonito has the skills to beat opponents who are just as tall or taller than him. He'll have a bit of a tough time against Eric Morel and Anselmo Moreno but I can see him KOing both.

                  height/reach is a factor.

                  im not saying it is the be all, end all of boxing. read the thread again

                    thanks for not acting like a butthurt stan and posting a sensible reply.

                    guess guys are still high on the epic ko.

                      im not ****ing complaining. i don't, i repeat don't, criticize nonito for having a height/reach advantage. he made the weight, therefore he's a 118 lber.

                      hey, did i mention that montiel is a great win?

                      im just wondering what you guys think happens if he fights a guy with a height/readch advantage

                      god damn it, nonito stans are starting to be as annoying as floyd stans and pac stans.
