        If Erik didnt get screwed by judges in the diaz fight we wouldnt be having this conversation..Its bull**** that he has to risk either injury's or health or whatever for this..Im still pissed that the judges ****ed Erik over cause he heading into the fight, NO WAY morales wouldve won that fight in ANYone's eyes..Yet Morales stepped up as much as possible DID THE JOB GOT AND GOT THE JOB DONE....But biased judging is all was needed to take give the win to the younger hometown guy..They ****ed a legend over and now that legend feels that he needs to get back in there..

        And to be honest and as much as i dont want him in there i STILL dont blame him..Cause lets be honest people..The fans of this ERA are ****en ******..It doesnt take much to be considered a great today..Calzaghe,Hatton,Pacquiao and others are PERFECT examples of that..If Barrera gets that extra title win Morales [Maybe] knows that the fans are probably gonna see Barrera as the better man..If you actually did some research Morales CLEARLY NOT ONLY fought BETTER opposition..Morales has DEFEATED better opposition aswell..But if Barrera wins that 4th titles he would be considered better by some atleast cause fans today [the overall public] ARE ****EN ******.. The same Barrera fans that see Prince Naseem as an overated boxer [which he is] is gonna use Naz as an UNBELIEVABLE ACCLOMPISHMENT when comparing Erik and Barrera's resume..Its sad to see Erik coming back if he does..its not for the right reasons and sadly.. it is for the right reasons aswell..siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

            Does Erik look like he can get down to 135 by July?
            Yes. After seeing how big is Hatton...If Hatton can make 140 by May 2, I certainly believe Erik can get down 135 by July.
            So Erik! better start working out now.

            I'm rooting for Morales over Barrera.
            (Is there a vacant title that these 2 can fight over?)

            I agree, Erik displayed greatness... earned much respect when he beat Pacman when they first fought, Still... He is the last fighter who officially beat Pacquiao.

            It's unfortunate that it's easy for a lot of people(who didn't even wore gloves in their entire life!) to disregard a great fighter's accomplishments.

              Errr, Diaz is the older guy, although I feel the same way as you. I had Morales up by 1 point on my scorecard...

                Sorry i meant Boxing Definition..Diaz im is still continuing his career despite his age advantage..Obviously Diaz hasnt fought or went to war with the men Morales has.

                  damn, that joker looks like one of the pigs that they feed year long so they can cook him during christmas......it is better for him to stay retired, he probably can comeback and win but it is more the chances of coming back for embarrasment....

                    morales has outgrown the superfeather and lightweight division. if he comeback, he should fight in the welterweight division. and since he is eyeing a possible title run, he should try fighting mosley.
