    This has become somewhat of a myth. He was a BIG flyweight for sure, but at 122? I think he's average sized at best. He's a skinny 5'7. I think Morales and Barrera were both bigger at 122.

    apparently roberto garcia is more realistic than donaire.

    Nonito starches Rigondeaux within seven rounds. People will then give Nonito no credit for beating a green overrated boxer.

    Ya. He's smaller than he looks. Arce had him outweighed by 10lb.....his 'huge frame' is basically an optical illusion.

    Word from garcias gym is that donaire is a lazy fucker. You can see it in his lack of definition. I expect he'll be up for this fight tho

    Rigondeaux's about 5'3-5'4...Noticeably SHORTER than Pacquiao, who's Noticeably SHORTER than Nonito Himself...Nonito will Be ALOT Bigger than Rigondeaux...

    Rigondeaux Could PROBABLY Make 118, but Being that he's ALREADY in his 30's, he Fights @ 122...

    I got a focused Donaire winning this fight possibly by TKO.

    Rogondeaux is skilled and slick, but I think Donaire is savy enough to deal with it and his power will make the difference.

    He's taller sure, but in terms of in ring weight and definition he's smaller than he looks. I bet he could move down in weight easier than Riggo.

    To be Clear, REED is Saying Nonito will Be NOTICEABLY BIGGER than Rigondeaux, on Fightnight...Rigondeaux's NEVER the Bigger Guy in his Super Bantam Bouts...Even for that Weight, he's SMALLish....

    Nonito's BIGGER than TODAY's Super Bantam's & will Be NOTICEABLY BIGGER than Rigondeaux....

    If Donaire EATS Rigondeaux's Best Shots w/Little to No Fuss, he'll STOP him in 5 or 6...

    Rigondeaux's a LITTLE Guy in his 30's, who DOESN'T Exert a Whole Lot of Energy in his Bouts...If he's UNABLE to Earn Nonito's Respect, he'll Get WAXED...

    This ENTIRE Fight Boils Down to HOW Nonito Handles Rigondeaux's Punch When (Not If, but WHEN) he Gets Caught...

    I'm saying our eyes are lying, in terms of muscle mass he's smaller.

    I don't know, Rigondeaux is too flatfooted to stand a chance against Donaire. He will get fucked up in the later rounds.

    I think I've said all i can on this without repeating myself. Donaire came in a softish 126 vs Arce, he's not a big guy, even if he looks like one.

    Mismatch. Nonito Donaire beats the crap of Rigondeaux. It will be interesting the first couple of rounds until Donaire starts unleashing his arsenal of heavy artillery. That is when the cuban will start getting crushed and eventually stopped.

    Donaire's listed as an inch shorter. Listed heights aren't always the gospel truth, obv

    Pictures prove Pac is taller, let alone their listed height. Not sure where Reed got that from.

    That Vid Doesn't Really Illustrate Much...

    1st of All, @ the Beginning of it, Manny was On Some ELEVATED Surface that had him TOWERING Over Nonito, which i Comical...2nd of all, the Vid DOESN'T Show the Lower Body, ie., the Type of SHOES the Guys are Wearing...Manny's a Fan of THICK Soled Athletic Shoes, which Enhances his Height & we Still DON'T Know if the Surface Manny was on was Elevated HIGHER than where Nonito was Standing, as it was @ the Beginning of the Vid...

    A FULL BODY, Head to Toe Shot would Be Undeniable Proof...You Got 1 of those???...

    Pac likes to wear shoes that make him taller? Is that common knowledge? That being said, i dont see any towering by either fighter despite the shoes. In order for Nonito to tower Manny, Manny would have to be wearing 4 inch heels in that pic.

    In Most Head to Toe Manny Pac Weigh-In Pics, he's Wearing Thick Soled Athletic shoes...For those of Us that Pay Attention to Details like that, YES, it's Common Knowledge...For a Point of Reference, Ask MWS...

    Again, your Link Doesn't Illustrate Much of Anything, because in the Early Portion, Pac was TOWERING Over Nonito, then he Took a Couple Steps Forward & "All of a Sudden" he Wasn't...w/Out a HEAD TO TOE Shot, your Vid is INCONCLUSIVE @ Best, Bordering on Meaningless...

    The video doesn't show Pac towering over Nonito or visa versa. When Pac finally steps off whatever platform he was on is when their heights were seen. As soon as the video started, im pretty sure everyone knew pac was on something. But the portion of the video i wanted you to see was when they were side by side. And despite any thick soled shoe pac is wearing, it isnt going to be thick enough to the point if he removes them, donaire is taller. Unless you are claiming Donaire is barefoot?
