    Should Morales retire?

    Before this fight he stated that if he lost, he will retire, on the post fight interview he announced that this was his last fight.
    Do you think that he should call it a career or give us one more fight??

    Even though he clearly won that fight, I think he should retire. He had trouble making 135 and it will get harder and harder for him. I don't want him to end up like Gatti.

      Time for eric to enjoy the fruits of his labor and be away from life threatening situations. Gracias eric for all the good fights you have given us.

            well in the 2nd pac fight he father wasnt in his corner and told him to retire but the 3rd he was and Diaz but still he should know when is enough is enough he will end up half brain dead and bluring out words. He got the more important thing in life other than boxing

              whata performance!!!!!!!
              even tho he shoulda by most peoples estimation been blown away
              he , in my eyes, only lost a couple of rounds
              not only that
              but managed to get a clean and sweeT!!!!! knockdown by the naturaly bigger guy
              would i like to see him continue
              yes
              do i feel he can continue
              yes
              do i think he wants to continue or even NEEDS to continue
              no
              i think hes had a long enough career
              went out the way he wanted
              even if the judges didnt wanna give it him
              great career
              great person
              thank you Erik EL TERRIBLE Morales for being someone to look up too

                  Lol
                  dats what ya get when ya kill a bottle of don julio
                  by the time the rafa-isy fight came round
                  i was more then just buzzed
                  i know the action was great
                  i remeber him goin down
                  then traden couple shots
                  then rafa was getin the worse of the exchange and then they stopped it
                  ill def rewatch and be back with more thoughts
                  but for now
                  after couple of shots myself
                  Lol
                  i think i remember it being a good stoppage
                  think rafa tryed to back him up with strength n bombs
                  instead of boxing and technique like last time
                  he can only blame himself
                  for now
                  wait til i rewatch it tho

                    i preidcted it 2-3 years ago...morales isnt that good so him moving up in weight wont be good..he looks great at 126 vs smaller guys but if he had to move to 140 he'd take a beating by an average 140 pounder
