True about Conception. Donaire would be bigger himself though if he moved up.
Not sure that he he cant do what Pacs done TBH. Remembering Pacquiao has fought his fair share of fighters on their way down. Donaire destroyed Montiel and Darchinyan and is now being lined up to fight another beast. If he keeps going the way he is he may even eclipse Pac in terms of fighting guys at their peak.
I hear what youre saying about risking his first fight at the weight against Gamboa who is top dog. No doubt its a risk but thats what makes great fighters. I'm not sure a win over a bum would get him any better prepared for Gamboa. All it would do would show Yuri how he does at 126. He doesnt need to settle into the weight because if he isnt big enough he would rather lose in a superfight than lose to a bum in a warm up.
To reference Pac again its like when he moved up to fight Oscar at welter. Massive difference between washed up Oscar and prime Gamboa I know but the comparisson Im making is if Pac had a warm up at welter, the cat would have been out the bag and Oscar may have thought twice about fighting him if he knew how well he could perform at wleter. Pac knew he could do what he did pre fight so was confident going in. Donaires not ****** so if he takes the fight its because he knows he can win and he doesnt wana let the secret out by showing the world he can fight at that weight. Best to do it in his first fight at feather IMO but time will tell.
