erik morales legacy appreciation thread

if erik morales ended his career after the 1st pacquiao fight with a career record of 48 and 2(only 2 losses 2 barrera but 1 win for erik vs barrera) how great would he be remembered, would he woulda wound up as the greatest mexican fighter of all time, knowing hes beaten every fighter hes faced at least one time and hes only lost to 1 fighter in a really close fight twice(barrera) morales resume woulda been crazy(48-2 arguably 50 and 0 if not from close decision) wins over................... zaragoza j.jones espadas(twice) hernandez ayala j.chavez k.kelley mc collough chi ramirez barrera pacquiao would he been considered the greatest mexican boxer of all time considering hes a 3 weight division world champ and last fighter to have beaten pacquiao in boxing at 48 and 2 i personally think he was the greatest mexican fighter ever but everyone disagrees and i think if he ended his career after the pacquiao fight, i think morales woulda been easily in the top 15 greatest fighters of all time what do people think about morales, the most exciting fighter arguably in boxing history, the type of fighter who fights for the fans el terrible:boxing::boxing: vote, there is a poll, multy picks

Everyone except Pacquiao, Hopkins, Jones, and possibly Mayweather, which is extremely debatable to me. And the fact he didn't retire after the first Pacquiao fight doesn't change that he does have a better legacy than everyone but those fighters. mayweather is not to be mentioned with morales:smashfrea, floyd is a fukkin *****, lol, nyahahahaha

Morales is IMO the 5th best Mexican fighter of all time 1.Chavez 2.Barrera 3.Sanchez 4.Marquez 5.Morales And one of the top 25 of the past 40 years barrera or even marquez shouldnt be mentioned with morales anymore, that was made clear after yesterdays amazing performance vs maidana, lol, nyahahahaha

Great thread, for the record morales vs pac 1 is one the best fights i have ever seen. Too bad the man paid the price for all the wars he got in to. I will never forget all the exciting fights he left all of us. he now still has his technical game in the ring still there but regretfully his body is gone and his boxer puncher speed is off, he can still fight but not exactly al the way we remembered, morales legacy shoulda been bigger if not for the love for his fans

damn, man, i probably willnever get to see a el terrible fight in my life, i tried to green k you but i couldnt so now you have made my ass jealos of you cause you got to see my only fighter i really follow in his prime lol, Don't worry about K man :D. Yeah I got to see him...Even though I was young and obviously not as big of a fan of boxing as I am now.. That's probably one of the happiest moments in my life. I just remember how crazy and into it the crowd was for those 4 rounds. It's definetly something I will tell my kids about later on in life lol... I'm angry at him for coming back tbh.. I just hope he fights one or two more bums and just calls it a day.. I have too much respect for him to see him lose to a young fighter. Terrible will always be number one to me :boxing:.

You know what's up bro... :cool:. I saw him when I was a little kid man I was 9 years old when I saw him in plaza de toros here in TJ when he knocked out Junior Jones. He's my favorite fighter of all time, I've always respected him and always had deep appreciation for what he did in the ring and how he would never make excuses for losing. He always gave it his best in the ring but even though he left his legacy with 4 straight losses and left many people with a bad taste of him, I still remember him being an ATG and he's honestly my personal hero... http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/morales.jpg DE LA ZONA NORTE TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA MEXICO... ERIK "EEEL TERRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MORALES!" damn, man, i probably willnever get to see a el terrible fight in my life, i tried to green k you but i couldnt so now you have made my ass jealos of you cause you got to see my only fighter i really follow in his prime

Barrera was the man, but Morales was and is my favorite fighter of all time. I still have him winning the first two fights against Barrera. He gave away his last against Barrera. I only have to say that MAB got out thrown by 200 punches in the first one, though MAB got the better of a lot of exchanges Morales was the more active fighter and the champion, MAB didn't take the belt from him, it was given to him. Morales is my favorite fighter but I am young so it is unfair for me to give him love. Morales fought for the fans, he could have easily boxed his way to several easy wins but brought it for the fans, hell the 12th round of the Pac-Morales 1 fight shows his love for the fans. If Morales was in his prime he would have punked Pac straight up, he was past it even in his first fight. I also think he deserved the nod in his championship bout at 130 against Diaz, that was BS. morales is the man, thanks green k to you man

Im aboard. Hes my favorite fighter. I wish he would have gotten the Hamed fight instead of Mab or atleast before Mab did while Hamed was undefeated. I wanted to see that fight so bad, I know morales would have gotten into some crazy exchanges with him but I think he would come out on top.
