Morales seems to be at his best at 130. Is it a good move for him to go up to conquer the heavier guys or stay put where he is king and wait for the challengers to come his way? What do you guys think?

He should stay put, if he tries to go up and face Corrales he'll be KTFO'd

If and when he beats Yodsanan 3K will I say that he is indeed the best superfeatherweight in the planet.

It still intrigues me that he can fight Pac who has no belt, "unify" the IBF and WBC straps and yet totally ignore the WBA champ. Pacquiao, Hernandez & Chavez are smaller (and big $$$ names)...why not fight someone his own size? Well, yes 3K needs more "exposure" and fight the likes of Barrios, Guerrero and Campbell who BTW all ignored his challenge as well. Hmmm, Eddie Croft.;););)

Good point. Yodsanan would be a good benchmark for him as well.

Morales-Corrales would be a juicy fight though :)

Yes Morales is the best at 130 right now.

yea but he would get the good old KO from Corrales for sure

In Boxing nothing is for sure.

yea that wasn't the right word, I meant more likely to

Who's to say that Corrales would easily KO Morales? Erik has a lot better boxing skills than most people give him credit for. He kinda reminds me of Thomas Hearns in the way that he could use his superior boxing skills, but he often gets dragged into brawling (he's not on Hearns level but for the sake of argument). Erik has great stamina, we all know that he can take a lot of punishment, and he could definitely hit Corrales hard enough to keep him off his game and eventually hurt him late. Erik has a better jab these days, a very dangerous uppercut, and a great overhand right. I could see the fight going either way. Morales wouldn't have to do as much running/moving around as Freitas...he wouldn't tire as much either (who knows maybe 135 would tire him out :confused: ).

i don;t think Morrales power would be anything special at 135, Corrales would probably knock him out before he could land that many punches

Yeah Morales should stay at 130. And wait til the Pacman dynamo faces off with him :)
