I disagree with those who say that Floyd cant KO him. I think Floyd would stop him. He is a much more offensive fighter now. Erik is good but he has slowed at 130. He will slow even more at 135 and will have much less power. Someone said that Morales has a granite chin which is true but he has fought guys from 122-130. Much smaller guys and guys that have hurt him. Floyd will come down from 140 with alot of speed and sharp punches. I dont see Erik being able to last 12 rounds.
Another reason is that you might could last if you didnt fight and cover up the whole fight but Morales will swing alot and will be leaving himself open for alot of crisp, sharp counters from Floyd
from what I heard when they sparred, EM beat PBF for 5 rounds, (Thats all the sparred) but since erik came it to face Manny @ 140, why not fight PNF or gatti, start rolling in that big money, of course there are still fighters like Corales,Castillo,Casamayor etc...
thats what i mean, maybe he can take the winner of the Corales-Castillo fight, then go after PBF ...
I think 135 was a very good weight for Mayweather maybe even his best weight.
that was before, but not now with all the muscle PBF develope it will take to much from him to go down, just like what going back down was for RJJ, a career ending move ...
Floyd has stopped legit 140lbs fighters and has toyed with a fighter who weighed 153 in the ring with him. Morales will have no advantages and yes, whether anyone likes it or not, he does have a chance of getting stopped vs Mayweather.
Mayweather only comes into the ring at 141 lbs so I seriously doubt he would have trouble to make 135. Morales already weighs 141+ when fighting at the 130lbs class.

He only went up 5 pounds and he left because he wanted big fights, not because he couldnt make weight. He still comes in small at 140.
Jones went all the way to 200 pounds and they came back down to 175. Thats a big difference
PBF has proven his worth against every type of fighter. He's especially devastating against sluggers and despite EM skills as a boxer, he just has an innate tendency to fight. Jesus Chavez gave EM a hard time w/ a hurt shoulder while Floyd Mayweather stopped him w/in the distance. As for PBF getting whipped by EM in sparring, he also got owned to Paul Spadafora. I guess the Pittsburg kid should take him on 2
