I hope Erik doesn't turn into the next Gatti. Someone has to tell him when it's over if he loses this.

Very True, But Erik's Skills have always been better than Gatti's. I hope Erik has made the weight the right way and trained hard for Diaz.

So do I but you gotta look at the man's past 5 fights which he's gone 1 and 4. I'm surprised he's gotten thrown right back in to another tough fight but it wouldn't be Erik if he wasn't. I just really hope either if he wins he decides to retire on a good note or if he loses, he just sails into the sunset because there's no need to see a great champ fight just to bring up another young star.

Same here. The Raheem fight, Morales just turned up and thought he'd beat him. Pac was just too fast and hungry.

The third fight with pacman really destroyed who Erik Morales was. He wasn't beaten physically in that fight as much compared to his mental state.

erik will win this via KO.

erik morales is overrated...he was lucky making 126 and 122 fighting guys alot naturally smaller then he...now that he's HAD to move up in weight, its truth told, pacquaio beat him, but theres alot of guys at 135 that can beat him

Well I going with David Daiz he is a good fighter and could pull it off. and he is a southpaw. I was trying to find on of his fight and foud it on youtube.com with Cruz. Cruz was beating by points but Daiz was doing some damage to the body which helped him later on the fight.

morales is a true warrior hell never quit!!

Well he got more important thing other than boxing. He got to stay with his family. I think Morales should have just listen to his father before the 2nd Pac fight. he wasnt on his corner.
