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?

I think he still has the speed and power in the 115 lbs if ever he moves, just a question on how "safe" it will be for a fighter of his age to simply drop that 3 lbs off. If he can get a decent team, in his corner to manage everything, from the food intake maybe he can still make 115 lbs. But it will be a big risk for him taking another legend in Roman because Chocolatito has power and same with Ioka. It could be a brutal fight, specially Chocolatito he has been in wars with Estrada and know how to fight thru 12 extremely tiring rounds. How about Nonito? we haven't seen fights of his going to the distance. So it's going to be a question on stamina for him at super flyweight.
