Based on losing to MAB, his bad attitude after that fight, and Manny's aggression? Morales is a future HOFer...

This is a tossup fight to me...

We still don't know of Manny's power at 130 with Morales...his stamina...his defense isn't anything to run home about...he isn't the most versitle fighter...and not sure how his chin will hold up...

with Morales, we don't know if he can take Manny's punches...he gets hit a lot...moves straight back...sometimes looks uneven or off balanced...always tempted to go to war...may be surprised by Manny's aggression and speed...he had trouble dealing with MAB's speed in their IIIrd fight...he also looked slow and tired vs MAB at 130...

this is a complete tossup fight for me...

I will EDGE for Manny...I know I seems like I am contradicting myself by making a post about writing off Morales but then picking Manny...BUT this is directed to the people who say Manny will destroy or KO Morales in 2-6 rounds...Morales has never given us a reason to think he would be KOed that early...

I pick Manny by decision

Pac is the favorite, in most of the online polls and at the betting booths in LV doesnt that mean if Morales win its and upset?

smells like an upset? Err...probably won't be. Fights that smell like upsets generally aren't upsets.

People today are trying way too hard to pick the upsets. Everyone wants to be able to say "I told you he'd get the upset"

That's my theory at least.

If Morales wins they wouldn't call it an upset. Even though Morales is the slight underdog, he's already been proven and a win will only consolidate his already high regarded stature. People wouldn't be SHOCKED if Morales wins...

I wouldent be shocked if JMM beats pacman, but if he beat morales that would be a good duel.

though I picked Pacman...I am surprised at how many people including writers completely just wrote off Morales like he was nothing...

how can so many write off a future HOFer and iron chinned legend...saying he would get KOed early or battered...

I seriously thought Manny would just outwork Morales...but never did I coun't Morales out...it was always 50/50 to me

maybe more people will stop writing off a future HOFer who has never been KOed
