Was Erik Morales in his prime when Manny Pacquiao stopped him twice?

[BennyST]

We all remember that beating Erik Morales gave Pacquiao in their first fight back in 2005. He is the last fighter to have OFFICIALLY beaten Pacquiao in the last decade. (You can argue JMM unofficially beat him twice) My question is now, was Erik Morales still in his prime when they later on met twice? After he beat Pacquiao in their first fight, Morales went on to lose to Zahir Raheem where he looked completely shot. He then got stopped by Pacquiao twice, went on to lose to Diaz, and then took a "break". (more like retire)

Was Erik Morale's first fight against Manny Pacquiao, his last prime, gutsy performance?

Of course he bloody wasn't. What a ****** question (no offense but it just doesn't need to be asked). Never before put down, hardly ever lost in his prime, then gets beaten convincingly by Barrera in the third fight for the first time, and beaten up somewhat, then beats Manny in his last decent effort, loses to Raheem terribly, gets KO'd for the first time ever, then KO'd again in three rounds! Then gets beaten by a hack after that!

That people, is what defines complete shotness.

Morales wasn't even in his prime when he beat Pacquiao. They say every great fighter has one fight left in them and that was Morales.

Morales is still Prime but he just can't beat any Lightweight. Fuck off hater.

[WhoreUs]

erik was past prime in all 3 fights.

Elites don't get sonned by Zahir Raheem.

Z was all wrong for EM. I knew that goin in and I'm surprised nobody else did at the time. EM ain't look bad in the 1st rematch, and in fact was slightly winnin halfway thru. Pac just beat his ass.

What beating are you talking about? It was a 115-113 decision and Morales was on rubber legs in the last moments of R12.

Morales was probably out of his prime before the third Barrera fight.

[fireman_ek50]

wtf are u idiots talkin about saying!!!? he WAS in his prime jackasses

u idiots must not know **** about pacquiaos career or even morales'!!! in pacquiaos and morales' 2nd fight, morales had NEVER been KNOCKED DOWN in his ENTIRE career!!! i didnt say knocked "out"....i said KNOCKED "DOWN"!!! so when pacquiao knocked him down then, finished him off, thats when everyone started to consider pacquiao one of the top pound for pound fighters (even the former pound for pound king, floyd mayweather!!!) bet yall fuh nigs never knew that lol...there is footage of it prob on youtube, peep game yall.....but then in pacs and erics 3rd fight, pacquiao started working on his right hook, which rocked and shocked the **** outta morales, cuz pacquiao was just a one dimensional jab jab straight left fighter, and still ****ed up top fighters in his weight division...

wow, yall so called boxing "fans" or whatever u call urselves, just need to keep ur opinions on the low if u truly dont know the facts and are assuming **** lol....

i got this membership so i could peep **** on this really good boxing website but everytime i see these damns comments yall leave on here, its just incredibly dumb on how biased and ridiculous ur opinions are lol...

[Silencers]

No, he was past his prime but still dangerous in the second fight, he was shot by the third fight though.
