Who wins this fight? The Erik Morales who beat Manny Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko at 130. I pick Prime El Terrible via UD. He fought better competitions than Loma in that weight class
--But then stunk up the joint vs Raheem in advance of the Manny Rematch.
How much $ U lose?
500 hundred, manny got him good! Kinda reminded me of when Eric beat Daniel Zaragoza.
Nope, not saying that at all. Stop jumping to conclusions.
I am trying to say that his wars with Barrera took a lot out of him.
I think after the first Fight with Pac, in 2000? I think he could have beaten Loma. My opinion.
Just my opinion, and I am entitled to that.

I just looked it up, for me he was great when he beat Barrera 1st fight, and Kevin Kelly.
I’m getting old and forgetful.
But, to be clear, you're saying that he was already out of his prime before age 29, right?
Of course you are entitled to an opinion, I was just pointing out how your opinion is flawed based on actual facts and logic.
Also, Manny fought Morales in 2005 and twice in 2006 and only really won the first because Manny got a cut early in the fight and bled badly for the remainder of the fight.

People are laughing at your novice self, guaranteed. Good luck though, as I said. I root for all fans.
Actually, I've received green K over our conversation. lol
You're a biased nit wit and you dksab
The problem with Lomachenko and Salido isn't just the experience. Lomachenko tends to retreat when pressured enough without returning fire. Salido exposed it, and Gary Russel Jr had success doing it too. Russell didn't land too much, but when he's triple his jab coming forward, Lomachenko would rush backwards straight into the ropes.
Morales is a master at pursing his opponent when they're on the retreat. Then he wouldn't be dissuaded by Lomachenko's power/speed.
Lol... horrible post man.
If some mindless bum approaches my car window smelling like you know what then it isn’t taking an L to roll the window up and drive on. Lol. Good luck cleaning the next guys window tho.
Wasn't as clever as you intended, I promise you. You're a delusional fangirl and I proved it. Now you can leave in your Sanford and Sons pickup truck, chump

Oh, so you think he was no longer prime just because he lost?
Lol how convenient.
Morales was 26 and 28 when he lost to Barrera. And 29 when he lost to Raheem. Those were all prime losses. Both Pacquiao losses were when he was 31, so those are debatable whether he was prime or not but I tend to think a fighters prime is between 24 and 34, personally.
Try a new angle.
Morales was a sharp puncher with a lot of skills. But, as you saw in the Barrera and Raheem fights, those skills were still limited. Prime Loma would make him look like a fool.

I mentioned before he fought Barrera. Pre wars with Barrera

He lost to Barrera twice in his prime, who is not even close to Loma's level.
See how that works?
Triangle theories simply do not work in boxing

Salido could never beat Loma again.
But, salido got away with low blows, and more.
I have nothing more to add.
Not looking for another long drawn out back and forth, so forgive me if I don’t reply. I’m fighting in the lounge and the dome.
Eric was too fast in his prime, and I’m not triangulating anything.

Jeez... what a great fantasy matchup.
Roman you’re pretty stupid but this is a great matchup. Remember, I picked Rigo to beat Loma. Erik was one of those fighters who could literally beat anybody.
Also; remember that the Morales that beat Pac was not a prime Morales...
Think about that.
I'd pick morales but I wouldn't be surprised if loma pulled a rabbit out the hat . But at 126 . Morales at 130 was one great win really . He was at his best at his first two weights
If Salido gave Loma all he could handle I'm pretty sure Morales could get the job done.
Bit of a cherry pick there don't you think? You'd pick a time when Loma was like only his 2nd or 3rd fight into his professional career and I'm assuming you're placing him against what would be Erik in his prime. Use your head, Lomachenko would be able to box circles around Erik Morales. As good as Erik was in his prime he would get completely schooled against a top pedigree fighter like Loma the only way Loma loses is if he decides to fight a stupid fight which even with Salido he never did. The Salido fight was arguable contentious the numerous lowblows back to back with the referee taking no action.... Hardly a good representation, not unless you expect Erik to do that for 12rds with a dodgy ref?
