people tend to forget Morales defeated Carlos Hernandez, Jesus chavez, and Manny Pacquiao, and Guty Espades in a very good run in his career at superfeatherweight....in the mist of this he did loss a close Majority decision to Barrera, I scored it for Morales but it was really close
Who wins Mayweather of 1999-2001 vs Morales of 2003-2005 at 130
I think the most likely Morales gets stopped while he goes for war in the late rounds, because even though he will have started out good, he by round 10-11 he will have lost 7 rounds, and his heart will prevent him from doing anything else than going all out (I am assuming we are talking about Morales at the beginiing of his 130 run), and 130 Mayweather banged hard enough to hurt any smaller tired fighter going for broke.
Stylewise Morales was too right handed too 1-2 (mind I am not saying he is not a one handed fighter but he clearly works around that right hand in the classical way) and that is not good against Mayweather IMO. I think that slightly bigger versions of Marquez and Barrera would have had a better chance.
morales is my favorite fighter and thus I am biased with his fights with barrera and also think he would have beat JMM and Hamed at 126.
But mayweather at 130 wins this easily, maybe by stoppage. Mayweather is just in a different league and at that weight he had serious power in both hands.
130 was past morales' best weight and it was mayweather's physical prime, so its no slight to morales when he looses. And I think its believable that he could have given mayweather some trouble in sparring but thats just sparring. Like with that spadafora video everyone talks about, there is no reason not to believe that mayweather would dominate spadafora and stop him based on their actual fight performances at that time.
dude what and i'm not even joking i'm dead serious who is that larry yx or whatever i don't post on here that much u can check my past comments if you can do that i just signed up to make my comments on boxing and give my opinion thats it.
and you think morales would just stand there and take it? he would also be unloading not giving mayweather the chance to set up combinations and forcing money to be reliying on counters
i think you need to watch more stuff of the old morales
130 is not Morales' best weight class. KOd by Manny 2x and let Zahir Raheem box circles around him. By the 3rd Pacquiao fight Morales was drained. He looked like a California raisin.
I don't think he would knock him out cold, but I think he would hit him at will until the ref steps in

i really dont see how mayweather stops morales,
morales knew how to take care of himself
i think mayweather would win a 116-112 ud but morales would make it close every second of the fight
Your sig is disgusting. What a fucked up human being you are.
wow someone picked morales to win, and to win by KO.
hilarity ensues...
^^ Adoration makes people say some crazy things...
why are these Mayweather vs Morales threads ALWAYS AT 130 or 135 ???
which is floyds best weight..
but NEVER do u see the same match up at 122 or 126
show me a thread where the match up is at 126 and i'll rep u
either threadstarter is a f*cken idiot or hates Morales, is doin a Troll thread
^^ Lol. How can someone stick their foot in it SO bady? What a cretin.
And has the balls to diss someone else for being a Troll. Why is it that Trolls always accuse other people of being one for even minor things?
Like the TS said, Morales has an underrated resume at 130
Chavez, Hernandez, Espadas Jr, Pacquaio.
Morales resume is underrated in general. He beat a lot of good, top fighters.
As for the fight, I'd pick Mayweather by a one sided decision.
People tend to forget what a superb boxer Erik Morales was in his prime. New fans think of Morales and 9 out of 10 of them remember him for either the Barrera or Pacquiao fights : None of which were exactly what I would call a showcase of his exquisite boxing abilities. Apart from being such a splendid boxer though, Morales was also a hell of a brawler.
I'd favor Mayweather to beat Erik at any weight, but anybody who thinks that Erik wouldn't give him fits (or that he'd be stopped by Mayweather) is flat out insane.
Their was a interview where jeff maywather said that Morales Gave Mayweather the buisness in sparring. Its on youtube I seen a few years ago will have to look for it again it like a 2 minutes video.
'sparring and amatuer fights arent the real deal
