    hmm

    They'd be very unlikely wins, but he could outpoint the bottom 3 as none of them have devastating power.
    Corrales would hurt Erik so much that it would throw him off from his gameplan.

    Lazcano fought on even terms with Castillo for a lot of the fight and is also as big as Castillo (12 lbs bigger than Erik).

    Casamayor outboxed Castillo in many points during their fight and he can box as good as Morales. Casamayor also has a good chin and Morales' power at 135 won't be anything for Casamayor.

    Julio Diaz looked very good at times vs Castillo and has enough vitality to beat Morales (50/50).

    Juan Diaz throws a million punches a round, and Morales would not be able to hurt him. Morales will have hardly any power if he goes to 135. He can only rely on chin and boxing skills. He won't be able to impose size or power on Diaz.

    Some of you don't seem to understand how big and good these guys at 135 are. Erik is a legend in the lower weight-classes, but many people feel he would not have even beat Jesus Chavez if Chavez had not dislocated his shoulder.

      I dont think Morales should move up at all.If I was him the only reason I would move up is if I got a title shot just to add another belt in a different weight. I think he can beat some guys but it will be very hard for him to be a force.

        Juan Diaz makes a lot of Mistakes, he is young, he is chubby and he is feather fisted (probably should be fighting at 130). No way he beats Erik Morales.

        Corrales can be outboxed, he has been before by acelino Freitas before he ran out of gas.

        Julio Diaz would be game contender for Erik. His isnt as experienced and that may be where Erik can take the advantage but you certainly cant count out Erik against him. He is not as big as the other guys either.

          If Morales goes up to 135 and win over Corrales, I say he is the best Mexican fighter ever, and everyone must bow down to him.

            i thought he beat barrera convincingly in their second fight. especially if you count that knockdown (it was legit). i dont think he can hang with the elites at 135 though. id favor castillo , corrales or casamayor over him.
