Do you think this is a good idea? as we all know that he is already 40 yrs old and it's really hard for the body as we age?

Yes, I got your point and concern about his age. I mean, the timeframe is critical to what he likes to achieve now that he's 40 years old now.

He mentioned that he is eyes for some Super Flyweight Division matches before going back to Bantamweight to attempt on unifying some titles. He should average 2-3 fights per year with no serious injuries in every of his fight to catch up while his body is still cooperating.

I'm just worried that once he makes an attempt to snatch a title at Bantamweight, roughly he's about 42 years old that time. He will surely show an obvious sign of slowing down and weaknesses at that age.

He already slowed down, his reactions to his fights against Inoue have shown it.  He may have a power advantage if he goes down in weight division but the question is, Is he fast enough to connect them?  I really admire Donaire but I have seen he is past his prime and most of his opponent is currently in their prime.  Besides, wouldn't it put a strain on his body if he will lose weight past his regular weight limit?

maybe, he still feels that he has still some juice on this sports. so let him be, he will be the one who will retire from this sports if he knows, he's done with it. some boxers really do continue to fight not because of the money but because of the passion they have for this sports, and it hurts them thinking that they will retire.
