NO way is Donaire winning against the big three of the featherweights..

[Ido]

Juanma, Russel or gamboa....all are too big and are just as fast. no diss to nonaire but he cant win against this big three.

Your facts are off.

Juanma gets schooled by Donaire. Guillermo Rigondeaux is the big dog, at 122.

Russel, and Gamboa are camping at 126.

Lol Nonito much big compare Pacquiao. He can grow like Pac.

haha, russell is nowhere near the top yet. he has some fights to go before being on gamboa or those guys' level. also, donaire still has a weight division before that, we'll see if he stays there for long, or if gamboa and some of those guys decide to move up, making that possible fight further away from being made.

Donaire breaks Russell down, he'd smoke Juanma too...Gamboa's speed may trouble Donaire a lil though

And you claim this based on what?

This is 2 divisions higher - he could end up looking painfully ordinary for all we know.

The term is "dont count your chickens before they hatch"

the only guy he could lose to is gamboa.

But Gamboa is camping at a higher weight. Besides Guillermo Rigondeaux, is a bigger threat, and seems to be the #1 guy @122.

I think Nonito is a pretty damn good fighter, but I have to agree with what you're saying. The more I think about it, the hazier I see Donaire's rise to 126. There's just no telling what will happen on the way up...and Rigondeaux stands between 118 and 126.

Read my mind...you posted just before I hit "submit."

I hear ya bro.

Yeah, Gamboa has this feel of a younger, more aggressive Sugar Shane. But Guillermo is a more complete boxer, and physical gifted to boot. he is the closest thing to a young Floyd M.

Regardless Featherweight, and Super featherweight is where its at right now. Its a shame only hardcore fans, recognize this.

Donaire's timing is near perfect....he can make normally excellent boxers look lame. Donaire can add weight no problem, he has a wirery frame but his balance and distance and timing are going to put him levels above JuanMa and Russell.

Nonito has this ability to land an uppercut from an inappropriate distance (and example of his timing and speed). But I get this sense that Donaire's power won't carry him to the top of the FW division. Despite Nonito's height (listed at 5'7"), he's rather small framed. I believe the "Filipino Flash" will crumble in the face of a stronger man like Gamboa.
