You can´t call it convincing when he has lost to Morales before!! Knockdown or not... he should be given a rematch
So he has lost before.. What does it matter? i think to be "undefeated" isn´t everything. Given the last fights of Morales, he doesn´t deserve a rematch - yet, he has to prove something again if he wants the big fights.
Yeah, if Tarver hadn't fought Roy a third time, people would try to say they were 1-1, which is just laughable. When you lose a close fight by 2 points and come back to KO your opponent, it isn't really 1-1 anymore. It's like saying Roy and Tarver were even going into the third fight...just doesn't fly.
Barrera and Pac need each other and here's why.
Morales is done at 130 lbs. It's obvious that making the weight is killing him, he can't do it anymore otherwise you would see a third fight between him and Pac. He's out of the poicture at 130.
Other than a fight with Barrera, what other big money fight is out there for Pac? The only other decent money option is a second fight with Marquez, but if Pac was smart he'd persue the Barrera rematch first, there's more money in it. If he were to win that fight, a rematch with Marquez would be that much bigger.
Barrera's nearing the end of his career, if it's money he's after he'll fight Pac, if it's his health he's looking to protect he'll fight Chavez, which is no walk in the park anyway.
I still think its way to early for us to retire Morales, he did fine in the early rounds, and could still give some newcommer a fight for their(his) money

Often a rematch, after a close fight, really shows who is the most intelligent fighter, and who learns the most from the first fight to become the better man.. Pac has improved, and regardless of the past, he´s now nr.1
No matter what your name is; If you want that position, you got to get past him now.
I just hate how people imply that Pacquiao should rematch Barrera............Pacquiao is the one who totally dominated and destroyed Barrera, thus, imo, people should be implying that Barrera NEEDS to rematch Pacquiao..........Pacquiao is the KING of the two divisions and people should be challenging him.
even though barrera is my favourite fighter, i agree with this post 100%, barrera needs pacman, pacman dont need barrera.
as for morales, i dont think he should retire like some people have suggested. i mean he took a lot of punishment tonight, but if he has a long rest, he can come back. look at barrera as an example, MAB has been written off so many times and he keeps on coming back, nearly everyone wrote barrera off after he got destroyed by pacman but look at him now, hes top of the 130lbs division, got 2 belts, came back and beat morales. i just hope he fights pacman by the end of this year.
It also marks the end of morales. Hopefully he will never fight again after been Ko`ed by a blown up super bantam weight. I hope Morales retires with his health. As for Pac, all roads point to a Barrera rematch i guess. I just hope Barrera can pull it off!
