Now consider the size difference between Mayweather and De La Hoya, OK? How many rounds would Morales and Barrera last against De La Hoya? Not many.
Morales and Barrera were great against opposition around their ages and sizes, but a fight with Mayweather would be completely different from anything they'd seen in the pros. Mayweather was way too fast, too powerful, and too big for either guys.
Particularly Morales, who stood too straight up and would've been an easy target. That would've turned out like the Corrales fight. Morales needs a body in front of him to be at his best and Mayweather wouldn't be in front of him.
