What if Erik Morales fought Pacquiao before JMM?

[abdiel2k3]

I believe pacman would have won! Jmm had the blueprint to beat pacman and erik morales claimed to have watched that tape 10 times before fighting pacquiao.

It would have been a better fight if pacman fought morales instead of a barrera morales 3.

personaly i dont think marquezs fight payed that much of a role in how erik fought him
ofcourse it did
but if u watch eriks recent fights
hed been changin from a com forward agressor
into this countering mixed with aggressive comin forward
since he moved to 130
so to me
it would have been the same

pacquaio looked three times shaper because barrera didn't bring his A game. morales and marquez made him look less sharp by out boxing pac.

Um he really didnt beat up pacman that badly you make it sound like it was ARturo gatti vs floyd mayweather now that was a schooling! Pacman could have easily took the decision if he just threw more punches like he did against barrera. it was 115-113 decision 2 point difference. Pacman seemed to be worrying more about his cut on his eye then throwing punches pacman clearly can hurt morales tot he body he could have finished him in the first 3 rounds after the first round he hit morales to the body that morales couldnt even sit on his chair, I agree if manny had skills he would have saw that erik was weak in the body and kept unleashing an already effective body attack but he didnt.

Pacman will KO Morales in ta rematch I KNOOOOOOOW IT!

I have yet to reveal ta REAL reasons why Pac lost the fight to Morales. I shall show all of you when the time is right. Probably the day befo Morales and Pac go at it again. If I'm generous, I might tell all ya'll befo ta Velasquez fight on 9/10/2005! LOL!

Here's a teaser though from me: Between, Pacman, Barrera and Morales..........the saying that "styles make fights" DO NOT APPLY!!!
You see, Pacman destroyed Barrera. Barrera beat Morales in a close but clear win fight. Morales beat Pacman by a close fight as well. If styles do make fights..........Pacman WOULDA BEATEN THE SHYT outta Morales becuz Morales style is perfect fo Pacquiao. Though Morales fought smartly, he was still Morales and Pac landed his shots plenty times. That bein said...............it's not Morales fighting a perfect fight againts a fighta who many experts (Me being one of em) picked to win, but Pacman was pressured to and surprisingly........







OH SHYT I said enough fo tonight............I'll let you in fo mo in the next weeks. Take it eazy!

Erik Morales didnt fight like JMM, u look at that fight Erik fought like Erik. It would have been close to the same if not the exact same results. And i called it too, that Pacquiao would go full retreat and the difference would be that Erik would chase him all the way and he did many times and pounded him against the ropes.

I think once pacquaio beat barrera then morales already had started to study pacman..Of course morales would want to beat someone that barrera couldn't so I am positive that morales still would have won..only way morales loses is if he had faught pac without watching the barrera fight.and if he was overconfiden

I agree. Morales has the power, skills and the chin (also determination) to beat Pac regardless of Marquez fighting him first. The fact that Barerra was beat so badly by Pac just made him all the more determined!

I l;ke morales I have been a fan of his! but something about PACMAN brings fans to the table! his presence and style and his trademark shorts make him standout plus he is very humble.

I followed morales, and barrera, but what dissappointed me is naseem retiring after his first and only loss, and then pacman coming into the scene a year later to take the scene by storm! That was a dream fight that would never happen NASEEM vs PACMAN imagine that! the most exciting featherweights of our generation going at it.

Barrera really made prince look like a fool.

Sad but I miss the ****y brit.

Unfortunately, if Morales fought Pac instead of Marquez that March 2004 date, Pacman woulda gotten beat. Pac may have gotten KD and even KOed.
