    Whats The Heaviest Weight Class That Donaire Will Win A Title/Belt At?

    What Do You Think Is The Heaviest Weight Class That Donaire Will Win A Title/Belt At? lets assume he'll win a super feather (130 lb) title soon nd also assume he doesnt make it beyond welter.

    i believe he wins titles all the way up to 140 bc he has certain natural size issues although has the height (5'7'') to move up. but can see him fighting at welter if the money is right down the line, though 147 for his body type would be a reach.

      Arum can match him carefully up to 135, but after that no. Manny was much more physically thick and him and was walking around much higher.

        Doesn't matter, it's how you're matched.
        Pac shouldn't have won that 154 belt, but he did

          He's already 30 years old and is only at 122. In his weigh ins he looks kinda flabby compared to the rest of the top 10 P4P fighters. Also, comparing him to other guys that came from lower weights like Pacquiao [106], Mayweather [130], Marquez [126], these guys are at 147 and are in great shape, and were always in great shape. Donaire is at 122 already looking like a semi-couch potato.

          It would be a huge feat if he can get up to 135 and still be top 10 P4P, legit. It's one thing going up in weight and winning some paper title, but the impressive part of moving up is are you still a great fighter? Mayweather, Marquez, and Pacquiao moved up and are still top 10 P4P fighters. Can Donaire keep cherrypicking his way safely up to 147? When you are in Top Rank, that is definitely possible, but he's gonna have a lot of cherrypicking to do.

            Legitimately, 126. With the right matchmaking, he could snatch a fake belt at 130.

            122 is the last division he can be the undisputed best in, IMO. He's not that big.

                Don't forget guys.... there's always a vacant title against a cleverly placed top 15 opponent

                  I could not vote because there was no 126 option and I don't think he will win any belts at 130 or more. I think Donaire is the best fighter in the world pfp. I also think he is maxed out at 122 as far as his best fighting weight goes. He is probably a better fighter at 118 than he is at 122. Moving up in weight now will only lessen his chances of winning against the best because he will be fighting boxers that are naturally bigger than him. The extra weight will only make him slower and hurt his stamina in my opinion.

                    135 if he renovates himself into a boxer-mover, if not then 130.
