What do you guys think?
I really would love to see Morales come back with a **** as he's been one of my absolute favourite fighters for many years, but past-it fighters who come out of retirement to give it one last push very rarely add anything worthwhile to their legacy. I can't shake the feeling that he was past his prime as far back as the first Pacquiao fight.
I'll certainly be a keen observer come March 27th though. Who knows? Maybe without having to drain himself to make weight he'll be able to turn the clock back and fight like the old Erik Morales instead of just an "old" Erik Morales.
For what it's worth, I thought he did enough to beat David Diaz in his last fight and deserved to end his career right there as Mexico's first four-weight World Champion. Had the fight not been in Chicago I think he'd have got the decision.
