    Morales' best win was Pacqiauo but that was evidently his last horrah. After the 2nd loss to Barrera, beating Pacqiauo was all he had left, the Raheem fight concluded that.
    Morales best win is Barrera

      In terms of Pac, his win over Cotto is underrated IMO. What a performance. His wins over Morales are highly overrated.

        That's debatable.

            I really hated the 3rd fight on how too much hype was generated hence the goofy fanboys mate.

              Fanboys hype up anything. Even the second fight was a joke.

                You really think he won the first fight? Or do you give him credit for the second fight? Because I don't think there is any way in hell he deserved the nod for their first bout.

                  Pac's wins over Morales are over rated, 3 in particular i agree

                  Montiel's win over Hasegawa is over rated

                  Fernando Vargas' win over Ike Quartey is under rated a touch i think

                    Ricardo Lopez's win over Saman Sorjaturong is an underrated win imo. They didn't fight at the weight class where Saman shined but still Lopez blew him away.

                      Morales best days were well past him even leading into the 1st Pac fight. Pac has become the new kid on the block with momentum on his side and was expected to beat the aging Morales.

                      But what is fair is fair, in the second fight Morales despite on the decline was still very game and I think it was in this fight was a perfect opportunity where Pac was able to make more adjustments than Morales. The wars caught up to the elder Erik Morales who was stopped for the first time against the younger, fresher, stronger Pac.

                      Very nicely put there. Pac should have beatin Morales the first fight and was beat at his own game. Morales was fighting past his best weight, moved up even higher to get beat by Raheem, to then loose weight at his age for Pac to finally beat Morales.

                      But then again..I feel many of Pacs recent wins been slightly overrated as they look much more impressive on paper.
