Who do you think they will be rooting for? I think this is gonna be one of the biggest fights for the lower weight classes! and how much are they getting paid?
"Seeing the way Pacquiao destroyed Marco Antonio Barrera, and dropped Juan Manuel Marquez before fighting him to a draw, I just can't go against the Filipino. Morales is tough enough that he will go the full 12, but Pacquiao should win a comfortable decision." Armando Alvarez, MaxBoxing.com
"I will pick Morales to win by decision--after they blast each other around pretty good. That is if Morales boxes a little more--if he slugs it out completely, I might lean toward the Pac Man--but I will say Morales by decision." Al Bernstein, 1988 BWAA Broadcast Journalist of the Year
"I like Pacquiao by decision. Morales is strong and will do some damage but he still gets hit too much and Pacquiao will be there to hit him." Ron Borges, Boston Globe
"This really is a pick 'em contest. Morales looked strangely lethargic in his rubber match with Barrera, which doesn't bode well against the fast hands and accurate punches of the thrill-a-minute Pacquiao. But I don't believe we are witnessing a decline in the skills of 'El Terrible', Barrera simply has Morales' number. Pacquiao to start fast, but Morales to use his considerable experience to eke out a close, maybe unpopular, decision with a late rally." Mark G. Butcher, SecondsOut.com
"Manny by KO 7." Jeff Lacy, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight Champion.
"I have complete confidence that Pacquiao will win by decision." Pat Putnam, Sports Illustrated Emeritus
"Morales is bigger, stronger, tougher and has a better chin than Pacquiao. Those qualities will carry him through a close, sensational fight. He just better watch out for that left hand. Morales W12." Dan Rafael, USA Today
"Pacquiao by decision." Felix "Tito" Trinidad, Three-Time World Champion
"Morales by decision." Felix Trinidad, Sr., 1995 / 2000 BWAA "Trainer of the Year"
"Pacquiao by late KO." Winky Wright, first undisputed 154 Pound Champion in 29 Years
"Love Pacquiao's vibrant style, but I think he's a bit too one dimensional. Morales's experience, a la his wars with MAB, has taught him much. I'll take Morales via TKO in 8." Tim Struby, ESPN The Magazine
"Morales will win by decision."Gunnar Meinhardt, German Press Agency
"Pacquiao in 11. With each move upward, Pacquiao's power has followed. On the other hand, Morales' power peaked at 126." Franklin McNeil, Star-Ledger (Newark)
"Pacquiao by decision. No way El Terrible can handle Manila Ice." Thom Loverro, The Washington Times
"Morales is probably still spitting feathers after losing to Barrera. No doubt, he will be anxious to reassert himself as one of the best fighters in the world. Pacquiao will find Morales too big and strong for him and I take Erik to win by decision." Colin Hart, The Sun (London)
"While Morales has tremendous boxing skills, the speed, power and rugged aggression of Pacquiao will make the difference. Both men are true warriors, but expect trainer Freddie Roach to have his fighter peaking at the right time. Pacquiao TKO 10." Jeff Haney, Las Vegas Sun
"I like Pacquiao by decision in an all-action fight." Tim Dahlberg, Associated Press & Author of Fight Town
