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

Imagine if he met Pacquiao now......................

total wipeout!!

People tend to forget that Morales was beating Pacquiao in their second affair...he just gassed and got beat up by a younger, hungry fighter who has the stamina of Mandingo in his prime.

You can't be prime if Zahir Raheem gives you a boxing lesson...shame I kinda liked Raheem too...

Rahiem is a southpaw cutie who did the exact same thing to Rocky Juarez, it's hard to look good against guys like Rahiem. Especially take into account that Morales came to the fight grossly out of shape.

Morales wasnt even in his prime in the first pacquiao fight.. so yea

but yea pacquiao is alot different now so its really hard to say who would have won, had both fighters fought in their prime

Erik was no longer in his prime. Too many wars by then.
