Remember when MORALES turned Southpaw against PACQUIAO...

[Sin City]

David Diaz was even luckier to catch Morales in his final fight, after the three wars with Pac. Even then Diaz couldn't finish him.

Who has Diaz really beat though? I mean besides an old Morales and.... .. Jose Armando Santa Cruz? That's all I can think of. Manny should have no problem beating him.

Note to self: watch Erik Morales-Manny Pacquiao 1 soon.

Also Larry Merchant had that fight a draw?! Um...

They had them on HBO yesterday..

Barrera was the better brawler and Morales was the better boxer.

I giving Barrera a better career because of his comebacks, when people though he was finished against Pauli Ayala he cameback shutting out his critise with a win over the Ring Magazine fighter.
same with Nassem Hamed and many other fighter.

He got overconfident against pac. Basicly nobody knew manny was but he shocked the world with his win against Barrera.

If they didn't use Cleto Reyes gloves Morales would have been knocked out easily. Morales controled the fight with his size and reach but when Manny hit him he would lose his focus. Manny would have taken him out if they didn't fight with pillows on there hands. Thanks to his ex-promoter Muhammad

Let me punch you in chin with some Cleto Reyes gloves on. Lets see if you don't get KTFO.

Jose Santa Cruz fight i seen it.

David Diaz was losing the fight but he was bodypunch from round one. When his trainer told him to finish it off he did pretty well. That fight made me believe in he has a chance against anyone, he is like Rocky Balboa.

Jose Armando Santa Cruz has a weird style and really is underrated. He is tall defensive fighter which he blocks shots and have long reach, he is also a good brawler.

The thing about David Diaz against Morales that could be why he won is because he never backdown or showed he was going to backdown. Morales maybe be punching but it didnt seem to make Daiz stop coming forward or reduce his work rate.

never underestimate anyone

I fixed that for you

well he did beat up a near prime Barrera. but i agree, Morales was old and so was Barrera the 2nd go round.

But Marquez was at his beak back in 2004. honestly, i thought Marquez won both fights but they were really really close.

They had Barrera 2 and Morales 2 on I think.

Santa Cruz is a real good win though. Cruz SHOULD be the legit Lightweight champ, cause he got ROBBED against Casamayor

[MANGLER]

The lefty stance itself won't bother Pac as much as Diaz' size will. he will be better at it than Erik did cuz he is a southpaw. And Erik only turned lefty for the last 2 minutes of fight 1.

lol...lampley says "morales turns southpaw and gets hit with a big one"....just as morales lands a hook that hurt pacquiao more.....and then trades while landing better shots...it was not til 1:20 left in the round that manny landed a great shot....and then both get pretty sloppy....manny landing better....seriously ass kicking in that round is a total overstatement....further reminds me that people are idiots...
