If they would have fought in 04 or 05 Morales would have beat him but Morales is done.
Morales always ducked Juan Manuel Marquez.
Morales won to Pacquiao watching tape of Pacquiao-Marquez 10 times.
Sorry Marquez left the blue print, also in 1 interview he told how he would fight Morales in case the fight happened, in which i found very reasonable his game plan
Marquez all the way
Morales is old now, slow, and very undiscipined. He has to lose 50 pounds before the fight, and has been going on since the last 10 years.
I agree Marquez is the better fighter at this point. Obviously he is.
Marquez is one of the best fighters in the world and a legitimate world Champion Morales has been completely shot for years.
It just seemed you were saying 'even at this point' implying that Marquez is shot and Morales is in his prime or something.
I'm guessing that's not what you meant, though.
Nah that's certainly not what I meant,lol..Shame in their prime they did not mix it up,I think JMM still wins..
I think both are past it,but I've always thought JMM was the better fighter..Maybe I was wrong for saying "even at this point"but that's what I meant tho,just that JMM is a better fighter then Morales..

What do you mean "even at this point"?

Nah, I can dig it, but Morrales has surprised me with his last two fights. I honestly think that if it were Marquez fighting Maidana he would have gotten crushed. I think all that time off did Morrales some favors & his punch resistance is back to full. I just see Marquez getting hurt a lot more while Morrales stood up to 1 of the purest punchers at 140. In short, Marquez might be better offensively, but his lack of punch resistance will see him fold while Morrales outlasts him in a slammin fight. It might happen after Marquez takes his lumps next month.
I actually see it the other way around..... I see Marquez beating Maidana and thats not out of favoritism.
The thing Morales was missing against Maidana was combination punching. Which he lacked. If Marquez can retain even a little bit of his speed @ 140 I see him beating Maidana on points. Thats if he can take Maidanas power. Which I don't think will be as big a problem seeing how he took so many of Floyd's clean shots.
he's really only fought 13 rounds above 135 ...12 of which were against one of the most talented fighter in recent times if not the most talented in terms of pure skill.
when was the last time anyone really looked good against Mayweather anyway?
.........Morales has been looking horrible recently minus the fight against the limited skilled Maidana.
JMM is no Maidana even at 140.
the only way I really see Morales winning is on cuts.
which is a real possibility...

I can't believe people are giving Morales a chance.
He's completely done. Has been for half a decade.
Marquez may not be proven and looks terrible physically his lone fight above 135 but he could come in with 20% body fat and still beat the sh*t out of Morales.
Morales is long long gone and if he is ever put in the ring with someone with the talent, ability, skill and power of Marquez he is getting a real beating.
probably marquez. this should definitely be next for him after he loses to pacquiao. it won't be quite as punishing dropping to 140 lbs as it would 135 lbs again, and it would finally complete the 2000s' 'fab four' (marquez, barrera, morales, pacquiao.)
I picked Morrales at 140 right now. He actually looked damn good in his losing effort against Madaina. I don't think Marquez takes anything above 135 too well!
