If they would have went at it all three times prime for prime.. Morales would of won that trilogy. It's a shame he fought him at the end of his career.

EM brought the heat in that fight. Everything. Boxing, brawlin, defense, chin, 12 rd stamina, etc. Fight was closer than many consider it, but a clear win for EM. Sluggin the whole time woulda blown that fight for him imo.

EM beats pacman 10/10 times if they fight when EM is in his prime. EM looked terrible vs raheem and pacman gets credit for his 2 wins vs him ahahahaha.

Exactly. Pacquiao is a hyperactive animal. Unless you are much bigger and stronger, you can't get the best of him if you just pound away.

Morales was incredible in this fight! I never seen anybody do this to Pacquiao! I love when in the first round he suddenly bursts and pins Pac against the ropes and ****s him,hehe. He landed more punches on him at one point than anybody has done ever at such a short space of time I believe. Amazing fight.

You need tactical ability to beat a fighter like Pacquiao. Had Morales just stood toe to toe and traded with him, I dunno how well he had done.

Crazy to think how far pacs come since then...

And yeh That outburst was round 1 i think.Manny caught him and Eric flipped and chased him around the ring landing some shots..
Morales was an amazing fighter also...

LOL at Morales wins if they fight prime for prime...

News flash, the Pacquiao is 2005 was not prime.

Does anyone think that the Pacquiao back then beats the Pacquiao now?

Hell no...

I always tell the Pac fans that Morales was past his prime, especially in the two fights that Pacquiao won (proof is in the Zahir Raheem pudding). But at the same time, the Pacquiao now would have whipped any version of Erik Morales.

I really agree. Morales was still in it for the 2nd fight (not his peak prime but definately not shot) and the subtle differences in Pac between their fights turned the table and Pac is a different animal now. Pac now wouldn't have lost pac/mor I and probably would have beat any version of Morales.

why the pac now? pac beats 2 washed up fighter and now he beats morales? marquez already handed him a loss in the second fight so I'm not seeing the imrpovment you're talking about?

Neither am I. It's just Pacmaniac propaganda it seems. This guy who posted the fight on youtube even said Pacman improved "laughably".
