Morales moving up? Pacquiao rematch off?

[mic573]

Since when did a "clear cut" victory deny a great fighter the right to a rematch? A lot of people demand a Barrera - Pac rematch, and that fight was far more lopsided than Pac - Morales. If that's the standard we're using, might as well say Leonard didn't deserve a rematch against Duran, or Holyfield didn't deserve a rematch against Bowe. These are two great fighters at the top of their games - I think Pac will stand a puncher's chance in any fight, he learns some defense, he's got a shot at Morales. He went the full 12 and lost a close decision, and had Morales hurt at the end. How is another fight lose - lose? I think their last fight brought in more money than any featherweight fight in history - and this would be a better matchup than if Morales moves up in weight

Why should Morales hurt himself further to make weight at 130 to fight a guy he beat hands down? The only reason Pacquiao had Morales stunned at the end was because Morales let him. All the slipping his feet were doing on the ring made it seem worse than it was.

Morales will move to 135lbs. but by then the two biggest names in the 135lb. division (Corrales and Castillo) will be gone. Castillo says he wants to move up, and in my opinion, it's going to only be a matter of time before Corrales moves up, I mean he drains himself to make weight too.

Morales cannot make 130 anymore.
I was at the Morales/Pacman weigh in.
About an hour before it officially started, Morales came out and stripped down naked (with a blanket in front of him) and stepped on the scale to check his weight, then quickly left.
He looked VERY skinny, he looked like he just got out of a concentration camp, skin and bones.
When he came out with Pacman for the official weigh in, he stepped on the scale, then very quickly stepped off, they announced him at 130 lbs. Pacman on the other hand stood on the scale and flexed his muscles posing for the cameras for awhile.
Then they did the photo-op for the press (both fighters together holding their fists up), Pac got on the scale to pose beside Morales, but Morales didn't get on the scale, why? He probably didn't make weight. My friend then told me that he thinks Morales came out early to check on his weight AND to time the scale, by that he meant that Morales could gauge the scale for how long it took to reach 130 lbs so that he could step off quickly before his weight went over, I told him I think that it's a little far fetched, but then when I saw that he wouldn't get on the scale with Pac for the photo-op I knew something wasn't right.
Arum's already been caught messing with the scales (Mosely/DLH).
I'm convinced Morales weighed more than 130 lbs at the weigh in, things seemed kind of fishy.

Morales didn't just hop on the scale and then hop off. He was on the scale long enough for the annoucement of his official weight. Morales made weight legitimately.

[castillo]

Yeah you're right but I think that Corrales wants to fight Morales and will wait for him if he beats Castillo - which I doubt very much.

This thing with the gloves is getting old....

Getting!!!!! its been old since Steward had to explain to everyone about the gloves on national tv.

[castillo]

Hey BrownBomber - Forget about the gloves - Where did you get this mamacita ?

[Bozo_no no]

I don't see why the Morales Pacquiao fight can't be discussed without the fans of each taking shots at eachother.

I like both fighters the same, and was cheering for both at the fight.

But when it was over, Morales had won by one round, in a fight that Manny fought half of with one eye.

That was not a clear cut win or a difinitive statement. It was no more decisive than Morales' win over Barrera in their first fight, or Barrera's wins over Morales in the 2nd and 3rd fights.

Unless Morales 100% cannot make the 130lb division anymore, I think the fans would be thrilled to see a rematch, and that Manny more than deserves one.

I don't think the Golves were an issue, but if Manny gets to wear his glove in a rematch, and can see out of both eyes for the whole fight, I think it makes for a very interesting fight.

I agree a rematch is very fair but take in mind that cuts r a part of boxing and shouldnt be used as an excuse.
