Morales vs Pacquiao 1?

It's not inconceivable. But to me Morales clearly lost the 3rd fight.
Overall the trilogy is a wash to me. Even though Barrera won 2 out of 3, it was never clear who the better fighter fighter was, IMO.
However, I believe that Morales was the better fighter overall and if both are on their A game, Morales wins probably 7 out of 10 times.
there are times i really think the 3rd fight was a draw...if the ref would have done his job and called those rabbit punches on MAB, EM wins easily

On a side note, I think Barrera-Morales 3 is one of the most overrated fights of all time. I saw it live and thought it was very exciting. Then I bought the DVD and watched it a few times. Most of the excitement in the fight was generated purely off of the excitement of the first two fights. Not many clean effective punches landed at high percentages and a lot of the "fiery" exchanges were more smoke and mirrors than anything.
I've probably watched the 3rd fight 4-5 times and it was a B level fight for excitement. This coming from one of the biggest El Terrible fans around.
Most of the excitement in the broadcast is because Jim Lampley starts creaming his pants during each exchange.Comment

He boxed, but boxed wit aggression. He was able to take the left when he had to. EM used the jab and landed right hands to the body. He was stronger and bulled Pac to the ropes to flurry effectively. Aside from attackin well, he also showed counterin skills when Pac pressed him.Comment
