What's next for Erik Morales?

I can't believe people want to see Morlaes in there with some of the elite. Morales was a shadow of himself and looked slow, although he done well last night. Maidana obviously didn't train hard and payed the price for it, Morales would get blown out in 4 rounds by Khan, he his way past his sell by date.

rematch!!!

i think he should fight khan . if he proves he's still got it and the maidana fight wasnt a one night thing who knows he might end up fighting pacquiao again fighting pac again? now... i dont know about that one

Easy jmm or mab. Or retirement. No other fights make any sense IMO. Not even a rematch with maidana

Its easy......Farewell match with Barrera-Morales IV or a showdown with Juan Manuel.

If he wants to fight a high profile fight he should target Mallinaggi. Good paycheck, He's still an underdog, Will not take much damage even if he loses.

He should fight JMM then retire imo. Go out with a nice big payday.

Seeing him not get the decision against Diaz and now Maidana was hard. I think he should rematch Maidana; both guys said they wanted it in the post-fight presser. was he even at the presser? I thought he went directly to the hospital to get his eye checked.

Should he even continue fighting at all? I'm probably in the minority but I believe that he should consider retiring, but that's just me. He may have surprised all of us with that impressive performance (thankfully), but that doesn't mean the same outcome will happen if he decides to keep fighting. Hmmm... depending on the damage on that eye, uno mas with Maidana then retire.

He fought great but he took a beating in there. People were worried that Morales might get seriously hurt when he fight Maidana. And I think Morales was hurt badly. He took a lot of punishment. It wasn't the KO we were expecting, but ask yourself this. After the fight was over would you rather be Morales or Maidana? Morales looked like he had just been to hell and back. Maidana just looked like he was out of breath.

he put a great performance tonight...i was one that thought he would get blown away by maidana...he proved me (a lot of people) wrong. despite his better than expected performance i hope he hangs them up.

it should be in the video trading block forum..look for it there. and no roy wasnt there. they basically said morales still has greatness left in him, and maidana did enough to stack up on early rounds to get the decision

morales will feel it in the morning. dude is too beat up to continue fighting fights like this. he should beat up on easy opponents or retire by the end of the year (maybe one last title shot/loss to shut him up for good)

He needs to retire. I don't care how well he boxed tonight, he took a beating. He was cut, swollen, his body was bruised up like crazy. Too many wars for this guy. He's too old to continue to take a beating like he did tonight. If he fights Marquez at 140 he'll get destroyed.

what i'd like to see is Morales vs Khan

I think it's best that he lost in a close, impressive fight. Golden Boy would've been feeding him to other young, upcoming fighters for that belt. He should either retire again or take some easy fights.
