    Personally I would have given Juan Manuel a better chance at 126 than Rafael at 122, but I have Morales winning this matchup.

      Rafael will have some moments before going down.


      Erik Morales no doubt

        I always base it on who has had the tougher foes...

        I have stated in the previous thread concerning Erik morales that only the true elite super bantams can beat morales @ 122..

        Rafael, though great no doubt, still isn't elite enuf for Erik...

          This would've been a great fight, Marquez' combination punching and technique would give Morales some serious trouble, Morales at his best was a beast though and would've worn Marquez down and ultimately stopped him IMO.

          Morales did have a habit of making fights tougher for himself than it had to be though, if he did that, Marquez could win.

                  It's pretty hard to pick anyone over a prime Morales at 122.

                  What a true legend that guy is.
