Eric Morales (2005) vs Floyd Mayweather at 130

floyd's arms are way too long, his mastery of distance was way too good. ask yourself if there's a single thing that morales does better. this would look like floyd against his little brother. morales' effectiveness topped out at 130 lbs. his best weights were 22 and 26. floyd was a robust welterweight with 72 inches of reach and respectable power and a very underrated chin. again, think about the fighters and the fight and how it would actually go down. styles make fights. think about that concept critically and strategically and tell me how you think the fight would go. and if you say you think morales has anything other than an iceberg's chance in hell you're flat out wrong. by 2005 erik morales was all washed up. by 130 lbs he was all but washed up. It would be a Corrales type win because of all the reason you mention. In here you have Manny fans that will inflate Barrera and Morales because their Mannys big names, especially so when referencing Floyd. Mayweather beats Manny Barrera and Morales at 130-135 possibly stopping all three, if he had of stayed in the lighter weights he would have been a lot more dominant than he was chasing the big names and money in higher weights.

You using triangle theories? Morales didn't train for zahir. Underestimated him. Floyd don't underestimate anyone Dude, Floyd's bigger, stronger, faster, and a better boxer. Morales aint got a shot

3 fights out of 50??? so how does that make him a clincher? What did I say? Floyd didn’t know how to clinch and foul as PBF? Or the tongue in cheek, clinching was just about his main offense in later years?

Pacquiao? Maidana II? Hatton? 3 fights out of 50??? so how does that make him a clincher?

Who wins this fight??? The Eric Morales who defeated Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather in his first weight class. That fight that when Morales beat Pac was brilliant. On his 18th fight Floyd fought Genaro Hernandez and made him quit. Don't think that would had been a good matchup for Morales because of styles.

Floyd should dominate Morales the way he dominated JMM and the way Raheem dominated Morales. Morales is a hof boxer but against Floyd he is going up against a more talented, bigger, faster, longer, mentally tough 1st ballot hof’er who is better than him in every way.

I had an old Ring Magazine, had to be released sometime around 2000, 2001, maybe 2002, they were still black and white, where they pitted Floyd vs like 12 other boxers, current to the time. One of the matchups was Morales vs Floyd, 130 I think but not sure, and whoever the writer was, he picked Morales to win.

See Morales vs. Zahir Raheem but worse. Floyd is all wrong for Morales. This is exactly what came to mind for me...

Morales was no longer in his prime during his 130 days. Prime Morales was 122-126 (1998-2002)

No one beats May below WW.

Dude, Morales got schooled in 2005 by Zahir Raheem, you think Floyd wouldn't outbox him? You using triangle theories? Morales didn't train for zahir. Underestimated him. Floyd don't underestimate anyone

Morales prime beats floyd..people say Floyd in lower weights was great?.No, not really be hadn't fought any historically good fighters whilst competing at Lower divisions. Dude, Morales got schooled in 2005 by Zahir Raheem, you think Floyd wouldn't outbox him?

Morales prime beats floyd..people say Floyd in !peer weights was great?.No, not really be hadn't fought any historically good fighters whilst competing at Lower divisions. Hindsight is definitely not 20/20 vision for you, the time has proven Floyds chin and deeper quality's, add them being there to the destructive precision punching PBF and he smokes Morales and if at all pressured boxes brilliantly for a clean UD, Morales is not the style to beat Floyd.

Now now, Floyd was great but hardly unbeatable at the weights. We all forgetting Jose Luis Castillo here? And that was the same as Maidana, none and I repeat none Manny Eric or Barrera are anything like Castillo or Maidana nor as big, Floyd gave Castillo 10lbs and he gave Maidana 15lbs, that weight is not there with the others. Guys can make a career out of being aggressive, can look like they in the fight with greats by rough housing, Hatton Castillo Maidana, Horn vs Manny same thing. Manny Morales and Barrera were all fighter boxers, and PBF given any distance at all lights them guys up.

I’m another big Morales fan who just can’t picture him beating Floyd at any point of their careers. I think he see’s the bell though. 119-109

Name all the fights out of 50 that floyd clinched in...seems like this made up myth has spread Its def a myth. Most people who say that probably haven't even watched a decent number of mw fights.

Now now, Floyd was great but hardly unbeatable at the weights. We all forgetting Jose Luis Castillo here? Castillo and morales fight nothing alike. I'm a big morales fans but he probly gets stopped here, floyd was a monster at 130-135
