Official Erik Morales Apology Thread.

I love Erik Morales. He was a beast.

We all have to apologies to the one eyes monster? :ugh:

I apologize too, but I only cheated myself by not ordering that PPV. UGH!!!!!!!!! I'm still pissed. We got it for free here in the UK. If it wasn't free I doubt I would have ordered it either. Just lucky I guess. DL it in HD or something.

I apologize too, but I only cheated myself by not ordering that PPV. UGH!!!!!!!!! I'm still pissed.

I'm not gonna apologize, I gave him props just for taking (demanding is more fitting) this fight. What he did in that ring is what you can expect from a HOF/ATG, win or lose.

No Apology Here I didn't listen to the pundits and just remembered how crisp and accurate his punches were against Manny. Even in his last fight against Diaz, he was crisp and accurate. When you have good fundamentals even if your body is waning, you always have a chance. If you watch the way Morales delivers his power punches, he applies full leverage, and the impact delivery is always near the top of its peak power torque. BTW, Humberto Soto has a similar style. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=471066 Erik Morales - always comes to fight - his retirement was just due to a lost in desire - great ability to setup and fire strong accurate combinations - his fight against Maidana maybe a surprise for many

Shows how easy it is to get carried away and overate certain fighters even when they lose like Maidana did against Khan. So for pac to beat Morales by stopping him the way he did all those years back when Morales was in his prime (and dont let anyone tell you he wasnt) shows Pac is the greatest boxer who ever lived and somone who certainly cannot be classed as overated. If he isnt the greatest ever then he is being underated. Morales isnt the type of boxer who gets stopped and Pac did it, like Pac does it to all boxers unless they have iron chins or run. What the f*ck, are you serious spouting this pactard bull crap. "If he isn't the greatest ever then he is being _UNDERRATED_????????????????????????????????????????? That's the most ridiculous statement I've heard on this forum. Morales was not prime even in the first fight of Pac but he wasn't shot as people made it out to be, Pac should get full credit for the trilogy though. First of all, Maidana is not even that good, he really hasn't done anything besides brutalizing the mentally weak Ortiz - he's a dangerous gatekeeper though. Second of all Calling Pac the greatest boxer to ever live is jumping the gun, you can call him the greatest of this era but by no means _EVER_. How could you make such an uneducated statement when you probably started watching boxing when Pac beat De La Hoya (You're the same guy who said Mayweather's style was easy to imitate and not special so there's a very very slim chance that you know anything about boxing history, so either you're incredibly ignorant and/or dumb). EDIT: Looking through your post history, you're a preacher that never stops, going on and on about how this fight boosted Pacquiao's ATG status even though admittedly you haven't even watched the fight.

I'm sorry, Erik, but you'll always be Barrera's *****. JK. :D Morales put in a helluva performance. I should've known better. :nonono:

Get the hell out of here troll. Pacquiao has nothing to do with this. Because; 1. You're an idiot. 2. You have to bring Pacqiuao into every single thread when it has nothing to do with him. Well you also underestimated Pac and doubted how good Morales was once again when he fought Pac, and dont give Morales any credit for being any good so disrespected Morales again. But if you dont want to talk Pac, i wont discuss with you then. But just make you aware of your wrong doings. Bye.

Why are you crying, you are the one who doubted Morales ability, not me. Because; 1. You're an idiot. 2. You have to bring Pacqiuao into every single thread when it has nothing to do with him.

Get out. Just get the f*ck out this thread. I'm not even going to address any of your points because they are so f*cking dense. This thread has nothing to do with Manny Pacqiauo, or any other fighter. Why are you crying, you are the one who doubted Morales ability, not me.

I'll be making a highlight of the fight as my apology.

IMO apology is not necessary (tho I'm quite guilty too) so i apologize just the same. We just can't measure a boxer's heart, and that's what Morales showed that fight with Maidana. We always tend to look at the trend of a boxer in his last fights and judge from there, which will always be innacurate. I really think it is necessary. I really do. Yeah, we know Erik is done, has been for years. In a weight class were frankly he looks terrible physically. We know Maidanna is a young, fresh beast. And we all understand why Maidanna was the heavy heavy favourite. But, no one gave him a shot, at all. Many of us expected him to get KO'd in the first round, or atleast didn't rule it out. More people expecte Amir Khan to last the distance than Erik Morales! Can you believe that? That is unacceptable in my book. Morales told us time and time and time again, "I am better than this man, I CAN beat him" And we all just dismissed, almost all of us. He deserves an apology, in my book. From all the people who doubted him when he assured us we were wrong.

Pretty much none of us expected Erik Morales to last 6 rounds with Maidanna at this stage of his career. Many experts, historians and great posters on this site wouldn't have been suprised if he didn't make it out of Round 1. We all dismissed an ATG living Legend like Erik Morales, showing an utter lack of respect for one of the greatest fighters of the modern era. I'll be the first to say it; Erik, I am sorry. I am sorry I doubted you. :sad2: Shows how easy it is to get carried away and overate certain fighters even when they lose like Maidana did against Khan.

I'm going to go a step further and beg for forgiveness. Please, Terrible, please, forgive me for ever doubting you. :hail::hail::hail::hail:

I deeply, deeply apologize to El Terrible. I didn't see that coming at all.

It was more than heart, Morales OUTCLASSED Maidana. He showed that even at his age and mileage, he is still better than him.
