Erik Morales Says Ring Return Likely at 144-Pounds

[Iceta]

EM, an ATG who got nothin to prove, wants to come back...at a goddamn catchweight. I hope he ain't in no kinda $ trouble. **** it, get him an easy opponent, and hopefully a title shot against a soft beltholder. That way he can end on a win. It'll sting watchin EM get hurt if he stays at it too long.

You usually make good posts Mangler. But why the hell do you want Morales to win a belt against a softie? I thought he tried to pull that against David Diaz and it back fired on him. In a way, I'm kind of glad too even though I like Morales and thought he won that fight, because I don't like it when these fighters get distinctions of becoming a divisional titlist where records are concerned and go after the weak link. It's a disrespect to fighters who do it the legit way and not take a short cut.

Former three division champion Erik Morales is still looking to become the first Mexican fighter to win a fourth major title in a fourth weight class. He is looking to make a slow and calculated return. He wants to take a 10-round tuneup against an opponent ranked in the top-ten of a major sanctioning body, and he wants the fight to take place at a catch-weight of 144-pounds. [details]

This will be interesting.

Its obviously a money move

I thought Morales beat Diaz and just got screwed because him winning didnt fit the script that night for allparties involved...as far as a comeback, its too late, he's too small for the weight and the way he lost to Raheem doesn't make me confident that he could compete with the "boxers" between 140-147lbs. and I don't think he is physically strong enough to deal with bruisers like Urango...but that being said, I'll still watch the fight...
