While his son Erik
Morales might have
been a touch cryptic
in his prediction yesterday
regarding a Pacquiao vs.
Mayweather fight, the father of
Erik Morales – Jose Morales – was
far more direct.
“I believe Manny Pacquiao will
win the fight by the eighth
round,” says Jose Morales, who
taught his son Erik how to box at
the age of five and was a former
amateur boxer himself.
When asked why he believes
Pacquiao will conquer
Mayweather, Jose Morales
explained, “He’s more
aggressive. He’s very aggressive.
He’s very sharp, throws many
accurate punches and keeps the
pressure on his opponents.
That’s why he will win.”
I then ask if Mayweather can
handle what Pacquiao will
assault him with?
“No, he can’t,” answered Jose
Morales. “He show it with Jose
Luis Castillo. He can’t handle that
aggression. Mayweather is the
kind of boxer where it is very
dangerous for him – the
aggressive boxing – because he
can’t handle it.”
Next, I ask if he thinks
Mayweather is scared to sign the
contract to box Manny Pacquiao
for an estimated $40,000,000?
“The punch of Manny Pacquiao
can kill him very easily,” replies
Morales, with no hesitation or
doubt in his voice. “It can put
him down very easily. So he
cannot handle that.”

I wonder if Jose Morales thinks
Manny Pacquiao is superior to
the version of Jose Luis Castillo
that boxed Mayweather and
gave him major trouble in their
first fight especially?
“Yes, much more,” said Morales.
“He’s very aggressive. Very
aggressive.”
Finally, I wonder if the educated
eyes of Jose Morales can see
anybody out there on the
current landscape who can
defeat Manny Pacquiao. Morales
pauses then offers an interesting
name. “El Canelo. He’s fromm
Guadalajara. He’s very strong,
very young.”
Jose Morales was speaking of
20-year-old Saul Alvarez, the
blossoming superstar who
reportedly attracted a TV
viewing audience of almost
60,000,000 for his last fight in
Mexico, televised by network
Televisa. Golden Boy-promoted
Alvarez (33-0-1, 25 KO’s) will box
former Welterweight champion
Carlos Baldomir on September 18
in Los Angeles on the Mosley-
Mora undercard.
