“When I first fought him it was at 130 pounds. The second time he would not give me the chance to fight at 132 pounds and now he is fighting at 147 and I am coming back to fight at 147 also. I’m hoping that at a time not too long from now when the people see I can still do great, great things in the ring, I’m hoping that Manny Pacquiao will give me the chance to show he’s not the best in the world, because what I remember after twelve rounds is Manny Pacquiao crying—and crying and crying and crying because he knew about the beating he had just taken and he knew at that time there was somebody technically better than him. He had to find some way to be at an advantage to try and control me. That’s the way history was written, but here I am—brand new.”
Now Erik is one of my favorite fighters but I think he was punch drunk when he said this
I'm a big fan of Morales too, but I don't believe that. He's maybe just trying to stir the pot. He's the only guy of note that has actually beaten Pacquiao so he can always say that to spark the interest for another fight.
At one time he was a better fighter than Manny, at one time Erik was one of the greatest fighters to ever fight. However, he fell off hard and Manny has grown and improved so far beyond what he once was. Only a handful of fighters have ever operated on the level Manny is operating on right now.
He got lucky one night and beat down two attempts after that!! Great fighter though. But better than Pac...NOT!
got lucky for the whole fight ? mother****er youre an idiot. i understand when people say a lucky punch but that was a whole fight. morales won that and it wasnt luck
