Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: Juan Manuel Marquez Fight Would Be Historic

[joelab75]

i'll give Morales a little chance to beat JMM. Morales is shot fighter but it doesnt mean he has no chance though because JMM is past his prime but still pretty good and can beat probably any of the lighweights right now.

This would be so huge. The only thing even comparable would be RJJ-Hopkins II IMO.

LOL



Morales-Marquez is the only matchup from the Featherweight Fab Four that didn't happen, but it's too late to make this a meaningful fight now.

Marquez will win and he will then claim wins over the 2 countrymen who overshadowed his career for a long time, Barrera and Morales. I think Marquez wants that fight just as much as Morales.

I felt bad for Marquez when he was trying to get his shine and Marco/Morales wouldn't even mention Marquez.

It's to bad we never got to see Marquez fight either of them in there primes, those would of been great fights.

It's historic because both are ancient.

I still wanna see the fight. Better late than never.

Agree. It's the only Fab 4 showdown never happened.

Washed up, you win one of three from pacman and your finished? Trying to out slug manny and coming up short, Morales is a superstar and they've already printed the plaque in Canastota

The only one saying he's done are Internet rejects, people that have a clue are taking a wait and see approach. To me, he gets the benefit of the doubt. If we lost all the fighters over 30, or with a couple L's, you could close the door and hit the lights. I suppose you rejects thought The Real Deal was done after losing 1st fight to Bowe in '92.

And the ones who have seen his last 5 fights.

Definitely not at this point.
