    He could reign at #1 p4p once Floyd and Manny retire.

      The most I see him going is 135 to be honest I mean who knows if his power will carry him good up there at that weight.

          It looks like his promoter may be willing to take risks with him now that Arum is suggesting that a fight with Gamboa may be possible... Im not thinking that Arum does not believe in him but i think it may be tactical since he may need to fulfill the rest of the contract, if nonito loses then arum does not have to pay him out as much as, maybe the whole Pavlik scenario all over

              What has he done to annoy everyone?

              I think matched properly he is one of the top 4 or 5 stars of boxing. His coubter left hand is a potent weapon that I can see being sucessful all the way up to lightweight. Maybe if a superfight offers itself at the end of his career for huge dollars at welter , he may take it who knows.

              He certainly has the frame to get bigger. A soon as the weight class jumps starts slowing him down significantly I'd like to see him fill out at a weight and dominate it. Speed is the flashes biggest weapon so without that he wont the fighter we know him as.

                For Nonito it is just a matter of how much time he has and what he does in that time. He can become a truly great fighter if he takes the right fights in a timely matter. The ability is there, it's all about what he does with it at this point. I think he can dominate 118 and 122 for the next several years at least.
