DONAIRE-MONTIEL TITLE FIGHT MAY END UP ON CHAVEZ-COTTO CARD

Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire?s wish to get a crack at WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Fernando ?Cochilito? Montiel may be fulfilled based on Top Rank promoter Bob Arum?s plans
Arum told us that he is ?figuring where to put it and one of the possibilities is the Julio Cesar Chavez-Miguel Cotto fight, to make that (Donaire-Montiel) a co-feature on the card.
Arum said the fight date is December 4 and it would ?probably be in Las Vegas.?
Donaire who has been chasing the big names in boxing has made it clear he would no longer fight as a super flyweight because of his having to struggle to make the weight and said he wants to move up to bantamweight or even super bantamweight to win a second world title.
Donaire is the current WBA super flyweight interim champion and has indicated if he can?t get a title shot at Montiel he would be willing to move up to super bantam to challenge WBO champion Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.
Meantime American trainer Rick Stehely who steered Manny Pacquiao to his first world title ? the WBC flyweight championship which Pacquiao won by a stunning eighth round knockout over Thai hero Chatchai Sasakul in December 1998, believes Donaire can follow Pacquiao?s footsteps and win ?maybe five or six world titles? in different weight divisions.
Stehely had predicted before Pacquiao won the flyweight title that he would keep growing and win four world titles but he noted he won seven and maybe can win an eighth.
The trainer was totally impressed with Donaire telling us ?I think he is absolutely sensational. This guy?s got skills beyond skills. I mean he?s really, really good.?
