To think people actually questioned Morales skills as a boxer

His jab is his crosshair, and his right the bullet; he's a sniper in the ring.

A lot of those backing Hamed in a Hamed-Morales matchup underestimate morales' skills, acting like he is mayorga or something and saying he would get laid out because he likes to exchange. He had a habit of coming back with combinations if he got hit but he had much better defense than people give him credit for, even using the shoulder roll sometimes, which he did again this last fight.

morales has always been a great boxer. i thought most people knew that. he would get dragged into brawls and people would wonder why because they knew he coulda won easy if he boxed. look at barrera. he turned into an excellent boxer himself but we he tried to outbox morales in the first half of the second fight, morales dominated him.

Erik Morales is and maybe was one of the best and smartest boxers ever. Basically the only thing that kept the young Garcia from destroying him was the fact that he is an excellent skills boxer. You could see in this last fight that his endurance and speed do to age is what slowed him down. Just because you like to mix it up doesn't make you a robot like Margarito.

if anyone actually questions El Terrible's skills and say he's nothing more than a brawler... they should just quit boxing they've failed

Several people bro. I have had arguments with quite of few posters who have called him nothing more than a face first brawler. Well Morales was calculating and cunning when he beat Pacquiao but if you want a good example of dumb brawler with no boxing IQ I'd probably suggest Marcos Maidana to you.

Who's said that about Morales? Anyone who's said that about Morales evidently has not followed his career. Several people bro. I have had arguments with quite of few posters who have called him nothing more than a face first brawler.

Anyone who loves to brawl, which Morales did in his prime, is automatically considered an unskilled brawler by the masses. It really doesn't matter what skills you have otherwise.

Even though I have seen him do this before, that feint in which he fake an left uppercut and came over the top with the right on Garcia never gets old.
