    don't get me wrong. im on the donaire bandwagon since he starched darch.

    but will he be as devastating against someone who is just as tall as him?

    I dont think he will enjoy that reach advantage but his hand speed may still be significant. If a guy can stay outside and jab with him with just as much power may cause him some problems.

        You're an idiot.. Height doesn't mean **** in boxing. Look at Paul Williams he got starched by a much smaller guy. Look at Diego Corrales, Mayweather whipped his ass and he was way taller.

                  I wouldn't really call someone who's only 5'6 like Donaire a non-midget. Plus it's not like he wins fights because of his size. He uses skills. He does not live behind a jab like the Klitschkos or rough up the smaller fighters but outmuscling and bullying them like Hopkins.
