Ok now Erik Morales had just admitted he is 100% ready to win, 100% confident of winning the third match against Pacquiao.
Erik admits to himself that he is now prime.
I dont want to hear any more BULLSHYT excuses if he loses on Nov 18, like he's past his prime, the weight issues etc.
nada. he even admitted to the media just minutes after the fight, in front of national television that morales was the better fighter in their first fight. what you read were over zealous news articles explaining other details what contributed to the loss. not even pacquiao agreed to those as his excuse for losing.
I believe I remember, "If I had other gloves id have knocked him out, right after the first fight" in the larry merchant interview
Prime or not Prime,
Morales should not give any excuse if he accepted the fight at Super FW.
he should not give any excuses as well as the fans on both sides.
If they accepte the fight then there should be no excuse and if Morales thinks he cant win then dont accept it or refuse the offer.
There is alway some bullshit going on about prime time. and i think it one of the lamest excuse to give.
When Zahir Rahim tattooed his face for 12 rounds.
yup
i was at Staples Center that day, and it was one UGLYYYY day for the Mexican fighters and fans.
First my boy VANES beats a decent Mexican fighter, then Viloria beats a Mexican, then Pacman, then to top it all off, Raheem beats Morales.
alot of fans left very pissed.
And pacquiao never makes excuses huh. :ugh:

what was his last excuse? oh the gloves? well the socks were funny you have to admit that. but the glove excuse was legit as you can see in the second fight :D
I get what you mean there buddy. Actually Erik was more of the same on his preparation for the second fight. And he was KO'ed.
The plain reason for this is that he doesnt give credit what is due and opt to make excuses outside of saying that the he was beaten by a better fighter.
Now here he is trumpeting that he'll win. Well he better be because no legitimate excuses would be honored after this.

Yeah, and Ali said he was in great condition for Holmes.
Of course Eric is going to say he's ready and he's 100% prepared. Do you expect him to say, "Well, I'm not as young as I once was. I'm not as fast, my reflexes aren't quite as sharp. I have been in a lot of wars and he did stop me the last time. I'm probably going to get knocked out quicker this time; but hey, I'll give you the best that I have left."?
What he says and what is are two different things. He may not be "shot", yet; but there aren't that many more shopping days till Christmas. He is past his best, he has had too many wars, and he will more than likely be stopped around the 6th, IMO.
It is what it is.

Right after his win against Pacquiao.......LOL
Pacquiao causes fighters to be past their prime. When Pacquiao beat Barrera, Barrera was past his prime till he defeated Morales and Juarez, then maybe not, until maybe he fights Pacquiao again. Now it is Morales turn. These excuses were aleady forseen and never really poped up for the rubber match againts Barrera or loss againts Raheem, until ofcourse Pac beat him, then he was past his prime. Sure Morales has been in wars but he isn't even 30 yet. Chavez has had like over 100 fights. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses, thats all they really are.
When Barrera beat Morales on the trilogy, why there is no "past his prime" "shop worn" excuses?
If Pac beat Barrera and Morales there are many excuses around!
Cus people didnt wanna see it,
Both Barrera and Morales are obviously past their primes. I think anyone who truely watches them or the sport with dedication can see that.
They arent the same 23 and 25 year olds that went toe to toe for 12 rounds in one of the most action packed fights of all time.
so when was the time erik was in his prime? tell me... but on the contrary (even if you thought he's not in his prime anymore), you want him to win, don't you? ahhh, don't answer that.. i know you would say yes! i want him to win still.
I answered this same question for flipside in the previous page.
Of course I want him to win.
SO then SAME QUESTION.. If Pacquiao Loses.. WILL there be NO MORE BULLSHIT excuses.. Like gloves, SOCKS, Or too many out of ring distrcations?
Just CURIOUS
The glove was contested BEFORE the fight.
The socks was never an OFFICIAL excuse but rather a story blown out of proportion.
On the contrary here is Morales saying he made too many adjustments on his second fight thats why he lost.
He aint making those excuses no more.
like wearing the wrong socks or gloves? Dont be stupid Morales IS past his prime period.
If you are SOOOOOOO sure... put your POINTS where your mouth is.. I will bet you 5k on Morales winning.... How about it?

Keep wishing. There's not many people out there in my opinion who can beat Mayweather, only De La Hoya and Margarito if you ask me. However there are a lot of potential challenges for him, but Hatton is down at 140, and I think Cotto will lose to Quintana, which will severely diminish the crowd clamoring for a Mayweather/Cotto bout.
yah, youre right, I like Mayweathers skills, but his mouth was way off target than he can do with his punches.
hmmp, he would get three times richer or more each year.
I would like to see him fight the best around before he gets out of his prime. :nonono:
