HANDLERS of Mexican ring great Erik “El Terrible” Morales does not think he has what it takes to knock out Manny Pacquiao, but are confident the Tijuana fighter will beat the Filipino again on points.
Jose “Olivaritos” Morales, Erik’s father and manager, predicted this yesterday when asked by Mexican media, as quoted by the website Boxlatino, about his son’s fight against Pacquiao on Jan. 21 in Las Vegas.
“One of the great virtues of Pacquiao is that he has a granite jaw which resists much punishment, and I believe that Erik must move to make an intelligent fight, to give a boxing lesson and to win on points,” the elder Morales said.
Jose said that if Erik stays at the Centro Ceremonial Otomi for two more months, his son “will have a sure victory, because he would come to the fight very tough by then.”

It seems like Erik will try to outbox Pacquiao towards victory instead of going toe-to-toe. My question to Mexican fans, does this make Erik less of a Mexican to you? Be honest.
i'm gonna make an attempt to soften the intensity in the thread and say that whoever comes out on top, it's gonna be a hell of a fight.. :D :boxing:
plus, in my opinion, it'll be a great way to start out the year in boxing for 06.
Well, i dont remember the last time Morales said he was going to win by KO . Or the last time he has for that matter(and the last time he did was in 2003 againt Espadas, i checked boxrec), he isnt a very hard puncher, he is the kind of fighter that beats you down. Why is anyone surprized that Morales thinks he will win by UD? I think that after seeing the Marquez/Pac fight Morales was only out to out-box Manny, and he did. And really Manny started out really slow in there first fight too, they both had respect for each other.
And since when is Zahir a shot fighter?
granite chin my ass, he got knocked out twice before in his career by unknowns, and u can say what u want to about manny being young and not experienced back then, but a knockout is a knockout(havent seen neither of the 2 knockout loss's he has), and I dont think fighters can better there chins, they can better there defense but not there chins in my opinion, morales should have more confidence then that, kind of dissapoints me, but maybe hes just sayin that to surprise manny, either way it gos morales will win again...
Your ass is granite. Pacquiao got ko'd by bodyshots, not on the chin. Check your sources before blabbering.

If MAB, JMM, and EM can't knockout Pac-Man, well those 2 unknown fighters must have harder punches.
EM is favored to win against PacMan because EM won the first match, but we will only know the winner after the fight.
As far as EM and his father that they can win by a decision only against PacMan, coming from a great fighter like him, it suprised me. This words probably came out because of his fights with MAB. EM won the first but the 2nd and 3rd fights, he lost. EM is aware that PacMan is determined to win the rematch and the lost to King Raheem probably affected him somehow.
I can expect tis from Morales. He knows he can't HURT Pacquiao. Hell, he coulnt do it when Pac was all cut up what makes him think he'll hurt him. NO WAY! Aside from Pac's good chin, Morales dont punch hard himself. Geez, 5 decision in a row? Tis guy lost his power at 130lbs and it's evident. He aint dentin Pac. If sumones gonna get KOed, it's Morales.
My question to Mexican fans, does this make Erik less of a Mexican to you? Be honest.
This matchup should not define Morales, in any way, including this bizarre reference to being "less Mexican". I think I know what you mean by this, so I'm honestly answering NO, because he's given us more toe-to-toe action than some entire divisions! Can't take that away from him, ever.
PacMan, on the other hand, has not yet created the legacy that Morales has. He on his way though and, if he continues to fight all-out like this, he'll always be compared to Mexicans.
I really don't give a shyt what Morales claims he will do or CAN do. Becuz I know that tis time, Pacquiao of ta old will return MIXED wit ta new. Pac will land one huge straight left in round 5 that will drop Morales. Morales will lose tis fight and errrry Morales fans woulda say aftawards, "Morales should hang em up".
^^^man and boy doesnt fucken matter, if ur old enough to box ur old enough to take a punch..
Chin is heart...fuck all that muscle shit i aint no fucken doctor and neither are u.

Ok im done wit u now, im going to sleep
Try not to get any more ignorant over night.
It will lead to you straining yourself trying to back up your ignorance.
I think Manny Steward said that.
:rolleyes:
My bar is getting red are you serious???ROFL,LMAO...o yea i forgot u have a rep to uphold hear, i mean 8000 posts, ur the man here arent u??? LMAO i could give a fuck less about a bar, or about what any of u people think, my opinion is mine and nothin will change that, i cant believe u said my bar is gettin red like i was suppose to care...lol...unforunately i have better things to do then be on a boxing forum 24/7 unlike u, this is ur life, pleasin these people is ur career, ur a disgrace, go put on a pair of gloves and see what ur made of or cut ur throat, make urself useful...lol my bar is gettin red...lmao i cant believe this ass...
Unless someone is trying to sabotage you, your bar gets red when you make stupid and ignorant comments.
That's all you've done in this thread, and on top of that you've spewed out a bunch of misinformed and ignorant garbage to try and justify your non sense.
Chin is heart, teenagers take puches just as well as grown men...
You're an idiot.
chin is heart is a quote from one of the greatest trainers ever, emanuel steward
Show me where Manny Steward said that.
That's non sense.
You don't know what you're talking about, and you're resorting to making things up to try and support your garbage.
You've made an ass of yourself with your misinformed ignorance in this thread, and it's clear why your bar is getting more red by the minute.
Take your non sense somewhere else. We're all stocked up here.
No it wasnt his chin that held up against eriks attack
LOL, more foolish garbage.
And is Morales going to "school" Manny 115-113 again? :rolleyes:
You just keep getting more and more ignorant the more you post.
Why are you so upset and anxious?
Could it have anything to do with Morales truley getting SCHOOLED by Raheem 9 rounds to 3?
never said his chin was bad, u obviously didnt read, all i said is if u been kod before u can get kod again, so whos the real idiot, dont think u mean shit to boxing, ur nothing, ur a fan just like me and my opinion is as credible if not more then yours, I could care less how much time u waste postin on a website, ur human just like me and just because ur a fagget doesnt mean ur different just means u like cocks...
Either you know what you're talking about, or you don't. You clearly don't.
Your refusal to acknowledge simple facts show how ignornat you are.
News flash:
ANY fighter can be knocked out. Having KO losses as a teenager doesn't make Manny any more likely to get KO'd at present.
The fact that you watched Manny take a ton of shots from Morales and keep comming but still need to knock his chin shows what your motivation is.
Look at your user name. You're a real portrait of subjectivity. :rolleyes:
Chin is heart...fuck all that muscle shit i aint no fucken doctor and neither are u...i could care less about that...the fact is ur makin excuses for ur fighter...manny has tasted the canvas and erik hasnt, ur just mad that manny will lose again and u know it...callin me an idiot? if it makes u feel better go right ahead, the fact is mr bozo ur boy has got his clock cleaned before and erik hasnt, and lets say that muscle shit does hold weight, Erik didnt have to taste the canvas when he was 16 cause he was just to good, unlike ur boy...
You have NO IDEA what you're talking about, and you're switching topics like a topic whore.
Chin is heart?
WTF are you talking about?
Chin is the ability to take a puch.
Heart is the ability to overcome adversity.
A guy with a poor chin can have a ton of heart.
You were foolishly and ignorantly trying to assert Manny has a poor chin.
That makes you an idiot.
Manny's chin is above average, as is Morales'.
The ability to take a punch when you're an underdeveloped teenager is a HUGE difference in contrast to taking a shot as a full grown man.
You have proven several times over in this thread that you have no idea what you're talking about.
