Does Erik Morales' career hang in the balance?

I don't think Morales losing to Pacquiao will have that signifigant of an effect on his career, unless he gets totally blown out and is humiliated with an early KO. Morales is in the twilight of his career and his legacy is already sealed. Even a humiliating tko will not affect Morales. Erik's loss record will just equal MAB's. 2 losses to the same guy and a 3rd loss to Pacman. A Morales-Marquez will still bring a lot of interest.

to answer the question no it doesnt morlaes has plenty left in his career only 2 loses and thats to the same guy in memorable fights, cause he loses to soem punk like pac isnt gonan ruin it, probally be another trilogy, i foresee pac-EM 3 ha ha ha

watch your temper now tracy... :D I'm watching, I'm watching! :D

I am a Morales Fan, and I know when my fighter gets beat. Espada had Morales hurt a number of times. It was the one fight that Morales did not finish strong(Besides Barrera vs. Morales I). Espada was the Champion, and Morales won a controversial decision win in which he was outlanded 220-158 by Espadas I will be at the fight, and will be pulling for a Morales Upset against Pacquiao. I believe that Morales can beat Pacquiao, no man is unbeatable. If Morales comes in with the right game plan, he will be able to pull it off. Good call, I feel the same way about the Espadas-Morales fight, El Terrible usually closes the show and he got waxed in the 12th round vs. Espadas.... BTW everybody, order Vizcaya's highlight reel DVD, I bought it about a year ago, it is OFF THE HOOK - SacTown1

he does have more to lose then manny, but this fight will not deminish anything if he loses. he has been in many wars and he takes the toughest fights so its ok for him not too look his best in all his fights, but he is still young and will make fights if he happens to lose, which imo he wont

Bullshit..plain and simple! I am a Morales Fan, and I know when my fighter gets beat. Espada had Morales hurt a number of times.

Unfortunately for Erik “El Terrible” Morales, his entire professional career and all of his achievements may rest in the balance of his bout on Saturday with Manny Pacquiao. By beating the man who stopped Barrera and the fighter who many feel is the hottest boxer in the world today Morales can put the polish back on a career that has lost a touch of its luster. http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/1797/toughest-fight-erik-morales-career/ I don't think Morales losing to Pacquiao will have that signifigant of an effect on his career, unless he gets totally blown out and is humiliated with an early KO. Morales is in the twilight of his career and his legacy is already sealed.

Morales really lost to Guty Espadas, even though the Arum Judges saw it the other way. Bullshit..plain and simple!

His past achievements will not be affected by this fight the man is a living legend and one of the last pure warriors in the sport, however what this fight represents is how much further Erik will go or wether its time to hang em up.

morales lost the trilogy he will get knocked out i hope it aint the end so we can watch him get beat up by barrera again

Morales really lost to Guty Espadas, even though the Arum Judges saw it the other way.

I hardly think that a loss to Pac would be the end for Morales. He's accomplished way too much for that! Many of us will GLADLY watch him fight , regardless of who he's fighting, and how many times he loses. One more loss wont change that.

anyway this special bout on Saturday would prove who's fighter more talented.

Morales is a first ballot hall of famer in his own right, winning or losing. So no.

By beating the man who stopped Barrera and the fighter who many feel is the hottest boxer in the world today Morales can put the polish back on a career that has lost a touch of its luster. Yeah right. Fight fans look at Morales and see nothing but shine baby. He's given everything he's got and that's all you can ask. His career is what it is .... enviable to most other fighters. He lost no lustre in his last fight with Barrera.

no way morales already has done so much why would he lose people
