What do you guys think?
I really would love to see Morales come back with a bang as he's been one of my absolute favourite fighters for many years, but past-it fighters who come out of retirement to give it one last push very rarely add anything worthwhile to their legacy. I can't shake the feeling that he was past his prime as far back as the first Pacquiao fight.
I'll certainly be a keen observer come March 27th though. Who knows? Maybe without having to drain himself to make weight he'll be able to turn the clock back and fight like the old Erik Morales instead of just an "old" Erik Morales.
For what it's worth, I thought he did enough to beat David Diaz in his last fight and deserved to end his career right there as Mexico's first four-weight World Champion. Had the fight not been in Chicago I think he'd have got the decision.
There's a video of him in training camp that was posted about a month ago, He's back in shape. He looks bulkier but other than that his face stayed fat. I'll look it up right now
I remember reading an article where eric said that he would be backto active fighting after two year retirement just like his idol julio cesar chavez, then I saw a pic of him raising the hand of margarito a few days after the cotto-margo fight and I said wtf! eric looks like a sumo wrestler and he was planning a comeback after two years?
Before I even attempt to answer the thread question, anybody here has a recent pic of eric?
I'm seriously getting pissed off because there is a high possibility that Gomez might fight him.... If they do fight and Erik wins, I swear it'll go down as my favorite victory from him :rofl:
Exactly, Really been out of shape for these past two years also.
Yeah I think it is very unlikely it will go well, however I really hope it does cause he is a true warrior in the ring. There is a chance he can make a comeback but probably not after the wars he has been in.
He's gonna suffer the same fate castillo had last saturday. He should not fight anymore. I just hope the guy he will fight is a very crappy one cause I don't wanna see el terrible get pummeled...... again.
