Raheem is the real deal. I don't thik he cant beat Morales but this might be a dangerous fight if Morales is going after PacMan next. Raheem has a great chin and isnt getting KO'd, so what if he pulls it off? I have seen bigger upsets. I would still put my money on Morales but I would have to put my heart behind Zahir.
Raheem is no joke. He got screwed over hard against Juarez. The referee was in his pocket the whole fight. I still think Morales wins this one on points.
That was the worst overall refereeing - start to finish- that I've ever seen...
If Morales is fighting Raheem its because it will be a promotional card for the Morales vs Pacquiao rematch. I dont think he should give him a rematch though he should just fight johnson at 135.
hmm
I mean, why not Nate Campbell, Jorge Barrios, or someone who is gonna be competitive?
Yeah right. Juarez has been so hyped up, blowing out Espadas and all, and with the way Raheem embarrassed Rocky for most of the fight, Raheem is DEFINITELY as good as opponent as Barrios and Campbell. Much better than Campbel in fact. Campbell got KTFO by Robie Peden, TWICE, and everybody on here's always calling Peden a club fighter. Barrios KO'd Anchondo, but that could just mean Anchondo was overrated all the time, and Might Mike came in that fight barely making weight and obviously couldn't deal with the mental pressure. Barrios would apply no pressure that Morales couldn't deal with.
Raheem is as acceptable if not more than Campbell and Barrios. And Raheem does have legs. He fought 12 rounds with Juarez at 126 when he really shouldn't even be fighting at that low of a weight in the first place.
anybody know who JMM is fighting next? He seems like the "odd-man-out" in the 126-130 mix these days, you'd think a guy with 2 straps would get more notice from the big dawgs in each division, maybe JMM's filthy manager Nacho BellGrande Beristein is holding out for mas dinero again
Raheem is gonna get KTFO'd. It isn't THAT bad a mismatch but its bad enough.....
I mean, why not Nate Campbell, Jorge Barrios, or someone who is gonna be competitive?
I would like to see a Leavander Johnson match or a Barrios match...but a Nate Campbell matchup would be slaughter. Nates damaged goods....but I am in the same boat as you as far as wanting a Barrios match. That'd be fireworks for sure.

I believe its the other way around! Morales and barrera never mention this guy and skipped him when they went to the feather division! JMM will fight them and counter them all night.
Do you really believe that JMM will defeat Morales? I really dont think so, but if this fight was to happen it would be better, then some of this fights Pac-Morales, Pac-Marquez, Morales-Barrera, for sure.
Marquez vs Morales would be a good fight - too bad that Marquez is taking the easy way out again and fighting another easy fight.

The fight's set for Sept 10 and what about PacMan he's fighting a Mexican whom I've never heard of before and I'm from Tijuana, Mexico. El Terrible's giving PacMan his re-match just like he said he would in Dec. and after that he's moving up to 135.
newsflash: Raheem has no legs and will get KO'd within 6 rounds in a boring mis-match....
what happened to Morales taking on all comers??? I thought he was gonna go after a lightweight belt vs. Johnson, now he's taking on a no-hope featherweight instead? Sad stuff, El Horrible is not my favorite fighter but I always respected him for fighting top guys in every division, fighting Raheem is the beginning of the end of the EL Horrible era within the upper echelons of the sport
I give morales credit! he is not a coward he wants to give pacquiao a rematch because he is a man of his word! before going up to 135 now that is sportsman like.

Raheem has skills...I think you're downplaying his ability. He's not a complete joke, and he made Rocky Juarez look like a giant bitch. He can box and has pretty good footwork, but I think Morales will take a comfortable decision over him.
I think Morales could have taken a bigger fight as well, but I don't think he's ready to go up to 135 quite yet. There are still fights to be made at 130 and that's what he's going after.
I mean come one Sac...dudes taken on Chavez, Hernandez, Barrera and Pacquiao all in a row...thats pretty crazy. If anyone deserves a lighter hearted fight in order for another superfight its Erik.
