What Were Key Factors in Erik Morales beating Pacquiao?

[alexpz]

Erik Morales is just a better boxer thats all.

Pac is not unbeatable.

Ofcourse Pac is beatable. He even loss 2 times already before morales fight. No one is unbeatable in boxing. Ever boxer can be beaten. But the question is the chances of being beaten. Right now I still think Cotto can beat Manny but the chance of beating Manny is around 40% only. just my thoughts

That flyweight child getting KO'd means nothing in my opinion. His chin is as good as anyone's now.

The only thing that matters is Morales I and the draw with Sanchez. Even those are getting fairly outdated, since he has changed his style so much.

No penis. You're only saying that because he lost. Morales was still good when he faced Pacquiao in their rematch. Barrera was 29 when Pacquiao beat him the first time. Pacquiao is nearly 31--who's had wars with Morales, Barrera, Marquez. I guess he's a shot fighter too. Stop making excuses.

barrera was 29?? what about the wars he had? what about the fact that he had almost already 60 fights??....age??.....age?????

Barrera's first fight at 130 was also against Morales. That doesn't change the fact that Morales was weight drained in the rematch with Pac.

so Barrera won that fight coz Morales was weight drained?

I'll vouch for this... I watched countdown to Pacquiao-Morales III today, and my god... he looked very gaunt.

Anyway, this is also true that age doesn't really matter as much as when your body decides to give out.

45 year old Hopkins is way more prime than 30 year old Vargas. Think about that for a bit.

Barrera was not in prime condition when he fought Pac the first time.

No, Barrera won because Morales didn't really look like he showed up to fight in the third fight... either he was past it at that point, having a bad night, or something. I don't think it was the weight.

Oh yeah, and Barrera won because his style (when he used it, yes I'm referencing the first few rounds of Barrera-Morales II, when he got outboxed by Morales) is perfect for chopping Morales's style to bits. Barrera's style matches up as well as anything can against Morales's style.

He would have moved up to 135 right after if he was. Did he ? No.

Barrera was not in prime condition when he fought Pac the first time.

yeah, he fought Pacboy that night
