How is Donaire ahead of Williams, Haye, Dawson etc?

[Quinito]

That's another bullshit excuse by Montiel. FYI, Donaire spent most of his career fighting at 115-118. He spent more of his time in Montiel's weight class than Darchinyan's at 112, and Montiel never accepted Donaire's challenge at 115.

Is it coincedence that Donaire is moving up to 115 and Montiel suddenly can no longer make 115? Hmmm... I think that's another ducking by Montiel.

Montiel called Donaire out after the Rosas win, Donaire chose to go for Martinez and Montiel decided to take on Silva, Donaire hasn't called out anyone, so go somewhere else with that bull

Montiel has already fought at Bantam a couple times, tried to make the move up against Gonzalez and well didn't turn out too well that time, IMO he's improved drastically since then, and after basically taking out the Superflyweight division, now see's another opportunity to go up to Bantamweight and win another title in another division, and running from Donaire? it took Nonito 8 rounds to dispose of Maldonado, it took Montiel 3, Montiel is taking on a natural Bantamweight in his next fight, Nonito is taking on a former jr. flyweight champion in Cazares, and is doing so two divisions higher than the one that Cazares was champion at, at super flyweight, also forgot to mention, Calderon, probably the smallest active fighter right now, beat him twice, if Donaire doesn't KO Cazares quick, it's basically as bad as a loss in my eyes

donaire not stopping cazares quickly would be as bad as a loss? you gotta be kidding. why would nonito need to ko cazares quickly for it to be impressive? a dominant performance over several rounds would be just as good if not better than a quick ko. same way i was impressed with juanma lopez's win over penalosa and not as much with his victory over his previous opponents whom he stopped in 1 rd. besides, cazares and donaire both have fight experience at the heigher weight of superbantam and cazares has been a natural bantamweight long before donaire became one. in fact, one of the reasons cazares had a hard time with calderon was coz he had problems making weight. so, i'd say cazares and nonito are both natural at the weight they would be fighting at and doesn't hold a distinct advantage over the other sizewise.

difference is Penalosa was moving up only one division, and had NEVER been hurt before either, Cazares was hurt by Calderon in the first fight, and Calderon is the softest punching fighter today, so if Donaire doesn't manage to do the same it's pretty pathetic really
