    Hell he wasnt even prime in the first fight.
    He was a long way past his best, but still a very dangerous fight for anyone. In my opinion his peak was around 1998 to 2002, from the Junior Jones fight through to the rematch with Barrera. Had that version of Morales fought Pacquiao, he would have stopped him instead of getting the decision.

      I am being serious. He was ranked higher than Zab and Carlos pound for pound. Baldomir wasn't even ranked.

      You can make a case for Zab being shot when he fought Mayweather since he was coming off a loss to Carlos Baldomir and hasn't done **** since..

      As of right now would you say Mayweather is having a better year than Pac? Pac beat a prime Clottey, but Mayweather beat a past prime Mosley.

      Of course Mayweather had the better win, because Shane is ranked higher than Clottey... Same logic

        so Morales was ranked higher than Zab despite being whooped on by Zahir raheem? Yeah right!!! Morales was a shell of himself and way past it. Mosley was a champion and the lineal champion. Clottey lost his last fight against cotto. great comparison buddy!

          Morales was running on fumes after their first fight. Every unbiased fighter knows this.

            Yes he was actually

            Morales was a shell of himself and way past it.
            I'm not dis*****g this

            Mosley was a champion and the lineal champion. Clottey lost his last fight against cotto. great comparison buddy!
            So Clottey wasn't in his prime because of his "loss" to Cotto and Mosley was in his prime when he fought Mayweather?"

              Man he just got waxed by Raheem and was not only shot when he fought Pac but also weight drained.

              Dude did you just say Zab was shot aftert he lost to Baldi? The hell?

              No its not the same logic. Mosley is not shot to pieces.

                Watch the Rahim fight, then you tell me if he was prime in the 2nd and 3rd Pac fight.

                  In my opinion he was already past it by 2003, he wasn't shot but you could see a big difference. He looked shot to me in the 3rd fight, not taking away anything from Manny he had great determination and was incredibly conditioned but Erik was past his prime.

                      I agree he was shot

                      Dude did you just say Zab was shot aftert he lost to Baldi? The hell?
                      Why not? Zab Judah has done jack **** since losing to Baldo.

                      No its not the same logic. Mosley is not shot to pieces.
