Currently in Tijuana, currenly dedicated to taking care of a few business matters, Erik "Terrible" Morales declared yesterday that he wants to negotiate with his promoter, Bob Arums, so he can face Diego "Chico" Corrales, or #1 ranked WBC contender Michael Clark in July in Las Vegas.

"There is nothing definitive in terms to my next fight. The only sure thing is that I will fight in July. The opponent, I have to talk later on with Bob Arum to see what he has to offer."

Morales explained that his desire is to fight for the WBC lightweight title, and so he will wait for the results of the May 7 bout between WBC champ Jose Luis Castillo and WBO champ Diego Corrales.

"If Castillo wins, his next bout is secure against Kostya Tszyu for the junior Welterweight championship of the world. That means he would leave the title vacant and thats where i would like to come in. Fighting for the crown against the opponent that the WBC puts," said El Terrible.

Morales might fight Britain's Michael Clark (current #1 ranked contender) for the WBC title.

"If Corrales wins, I would challenge him for the Title", added Morales who also doesnt discard the opportunity to figh for a world title of another oganization.

"We have to wait for the result between Castillo and Corrales, then we'll see", said Erik.

I would like to see Morales fight anybody. I have loved everyone of his fights. It would also be nice if he eventually gave Pacman another shot.

Does he really think that he could get Corrales to fight again in July? I doubt he'd put his titles on the line against a quality opponent so soon after winning them, if he wins.

Is Morales positive that JL Castillo is next on Zoo's list? If I was JL I would want Gatti and If I was Zoo I would look at Oscar or Zab.

JL beates Morales in a war...Morales would put forth a great effort but he could never hurt Castillo and Castillo would hurt Erik every time he landed.

Understandable...JLC is a better boxer than Chico. But I still think Erik can take him (or atleast give him one hell of a struggle!!)
