What if Mares calls out Gamboa, Rios or Khan to go down to bantamweight?
Gamboa, Rios, Khan wont go down to bantamweight because they would have to drain themselves to make the BW limit. Donaire is taller than Gamboa and Lopez. Why are they not fighting at BW? Why are they not milking at lower weights?
My point is:
He has size advantage at lower weights.
He has a disadvantage at lower weights because he has to drain to make the limit.
Its not Donaire's fault that he could make the limits at lower weights without feeling the bad effects.
Even he faces someone bigger than his size, he wont look ordinary.
His handspeed is extraordinary
His footwork is extraordinary
His skills are extraordinary
Maybe when he faces someone his own size, they can absorb his power. Maybe he will be knocked out by their power
But his handspeed, footwork and skills are extraordinary. Even exceptional
He already said he is going after Gamboa and Lopez. After he is through with the SBW. Not only that. He wants titles at 6 divisions. That means he will go upto SF. I can't tell if he will win titles from SBW to SF. I can't foretell the future.
But these I'm sure of: he has the handspeed, footwork and skills to give elite fighters at higher weights a run for their money
