Erik Morales vs Naoya Inoue (Hypothetical) (122)

[QueensburyRules]

People must of forgot what an OLD Morales did to Pacquiao. Morales was bigger and had far longer arms than Inoue. It would be a fun fight. My money would be on Eric.

- - Kiddies in their Barney BigBoys then wouldn't know to remember Manny was experiencing managerial/promoter problems at that time as sleazy boxing thugs were fighting over getting a piece of him.

They also bargained away his #1 Glove, Reyes, something Mexican Morales needed to survive. The next two fights with Morales and every fight after the first, Manny was back in Reyes that blasted the Burritos out of poor Morales and a host of P4P fighters, the most in history with nobody else even close...yer welcome...

morales is better head to head, prime for prime. what Inoue beats him on is longevity. Inoue is 31 now and still going with no signs of slowing down. Morales was pretty shop worn at the same age and really dropped off for a while after the first pac fight at 29. then performed pretty well at 140 in his losses to danny and maidana, probably due to not having to dehydrate as much. .

Current 122 Inoue would probably beat Morales at 122. But that's mostly due to 122 Inoue being both experienced and young while 122 Morales lacked the experience and finesse he would later develop.

inoue hasnt fought any prime elite fighter, thats not his fault because the competition is god damn awful but you cant compare him to them mexican legends like morales, barrera... inoue had his hands full with a shot to **** donaire in the first fight who isnt in the same ballpark as morales

Broken eye socket from round 2 and still won 8-4 if you absolutely hate Inoue. 9-3 more the reality and the ref inexplicably blocked Inoue from finishing Donaire.

How was Morales old against Pacquiao when he was 29 years old during their first fight lol that’s one of the most ridiculous nonsense i keep on hearing in boxingscene which is supposed to be a forum where everyone is atleast more knowledgeable than a casual fan.

i say that fight was the last of Morales’ prime, he took some damage in that fight as well and it was downhill for him from there.

to be fair to pacquiao that wasn’t his prime yet.

Actually they were both in their prime. 27yo manny, 29yo morales

He got WHIPPED by an OLD MAN, then he beat an old man. Excuses are like a-ssholes. Everybody has one.
