    Doug Fischer: Without El Terrible, the Pacmonster wouldn’t exist as we love him today

    I don’t think Morales’ decision to continue fighting after his win over Pacquiao diminishes his legacy. Besides, their three-fight series was good for boxing and it developed Pacquiao’s technique and popularity considerably.

    Dare I say that without El Terrible the Pac-monster wouldn’t exist as we know and love him today.

    If Pacquiao makes good on your prediction in the Mayweather fight it’s because he was humbled enough after the Morales loss to allow Freddie Roach to be the boss in the gym and begin to mold him into a more-complete fighter.

    I’m picking Kessler by competitive but unanimous decision tomorrow night but I won’t mind being wrong on this one as Ward is one of my favorite fighters. Regardless of the outcome, I think we’re going to be treated to a high-level boxing match.

    i remember roach saying pac underestimated morales in the 1st fight.

    the fight that really changed it around for pac was pac/jmm II. even roach and pac admits this.

    fischer must've forgot
