    Jesus, look at all the moronic reactionaries in here (although OP baited with the thread title). Will he be as effective against a fighter of equal height? Obviously not because no one is, that's why there's such a thing as height advantage. But it could be only a marginal difference.

      apparently there isn't.

      i guess i should have not used the term non-midget.

        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.
        He would destroy Eric Morel.

        But, Anselmo Moreno would be a different story.

          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.

          Your choice words in your topic title makes you sound like a hater. Cmon, on ANY sport, if you say someone beats midgets is an big insult.

              JFYI, Montiel had the reach advantage over Donaire.

                  What makes you think he'd be any less effective?

                    I was looking at Arm Length which is a better indicator of who has the real advantage. In this case, it goes to Montiel.

                      What would you consider the midget cut off point?

                      Montiel is 5'4".

                      Do you consider 5'5" a midget? Both Mares and Agbeko are that height. As a matter of fact featherweights like Gamboa and Juanma are also that height. Donaire would only be an inch taller than those guys.
