    ...How the **** do you come to that conclusion, tell me how the fight would go, please.

      Erik was in a winning streak before MAB-EM 3
      Erik fought the wrong match-up against raheem who did a pbf (stick & move)
      Erik loss to MAB in between two victories (Hernandez & Pacquiao empasis on pacquiao)

      i still think EM can beat JMM after 2004 ...
      your point... your point....

      EM is 1-4 in his last 5 fights.

      and you said that EM could have beaten anyone at 130 the night in which he beat pac. doesnt make much sense to me...


      On EM and JMM

      JMM is not a good style matchup for Morales, and anyone at those weight (ask MAB and Pac), because he is one of the most skilled fighter at those weights (Guzman and Barrera are the others).

      MAB and PAC did not beat JMM, what in Morales arsenal makes you think it would be different?

        Interesting.

        I repeat: IT DID NOT HAPPEN.

        can you read?

        I repeat
        go check cyberboxingzone

        use the search engine

        look for all the morales interviews you can find

        find out for yourself

        and remember...

        it is just sparring, Muhammad f---n' Ali got "Pwned" on a regular basis by his sparring partners. there is a vid of pbf getting "Pwned" by spaddy. what matters is the actual fights.

                i dont intend to make you agree with me ...

                but to me it make a lot of sense that night EM beat PAC can beat anybody... okey he is 1-4 in his last five, but THAT (1) ONE MAY BE THE LAST OF THE BEST that we saw Erik, with that kind of performance i know he can take JMM & MAB...

                Erik has the size, the Jab, the counter, enough power and skills to beat JMM...

                its just sad that we can not really see how their fight will go...

                  I think Erik boxing does not do great with mobile skilled boxers, his skills give him an edge on those who brawl with him, but JMM is way more refined.

                  obviously his range will be an advantage, his jab is stiff and consistent, but 1) it is not perfect in form 2) it is not perfect in terms of timing 3) erik *rarely* used it for what he could have used it for (keep the other fighter off balance, move with it and so on... it is more of a weapon, but that is expected knowing erik's, no?)

                    as much as I am loyal to pac, I am now also a fan of erik and at this point in his career I am still giving him one big fight in him, diaz fight may confirm this or confirm its time to retire ...

                    as skilled a boxer JMM is, he is not that mobile and any fight between him Erik will be a close contest, too bad we wont see it happening...

                      Terrific fights at 135

                      The fight that I fault PBF for not making happen was Joel Casamayor at 135.

                      Shane turned down PBF at 135, and that would have been a great fight back then. I know that Shane gets mega-accolades for being one of history's great lightweights, but....who did he beat?

                      It would have also been interesting to see how Freitas would have fought PBF.

                      Also, what would Corrales have done differently at 135 in a PBF rematch?
