    He'll definitely be up eventually. Just not sure his picture is that close to done yet.

      My bad Cliff,

      I missed this post. And, thanks for responding to my PM. I agree with you with everything you said. And, I will be anxiously anticipating his turn.

        I agree but not only are they the best of BS but IMO they're the best overall boxing writers/journalists in the game right now period.

            Morales is definitely an ATG. His legacy speaks for itself in a way that some very loud fighters only wish theirs would.

            I hope he achieves everything he wants on his comeback he is the kind of guy that deserves it.

              it's reasonable but how can you say calzaghe is an all time great if oscar is not? oscar has better wins and fought much better competition. yes he has more losses but that's only cause he fought top competition throughout his career. why can people not make that correlation? if calzaghe fought as many good fighters as delahoya he would have just as many losses if not more. he already should have a couple but got some dodgy decisions. that undefeated record is really shiny! rewarding calzaghe for taking the easy road instead of testing himself is a shame. sven ottke for president!

                      Erik Morales is what boxing is all about. He is the reason I stopped being a casual fan and become a super fan. I remember I couldn't wait till the next time I see Morales fight in the ring. He had the skills, the balls, the heart to make any fight a super fight to watch.

                      Respect to Erik Morales, Thank you for all the great fights!
