Pacquiao is not as good as Morales. He fought a live opponent who could fight and box and that is why he had no success. Any good fighter can give Pacquiao a run for his money.
Margarito and Clottey have no speed, and Cotto doesn't throw enough punches, and he's not all that fast himself.
Morales is simply a much better boxer/fighter than Pacquiao is when he was in his prime.
Man after watching that again you see just how many weaknesses Pac really has. Morales was a few years past it by this point as well, that's the sad part.
I'm not hating on Pacquiao, I like him a lot and this was a great fight. This is worth paying for. This is what I want to see. Put him in with a good fighter and these are the fights we'll get.
Pac fans want to disregard and forget about this fight because their boy lost, but this is one of the greatest fights of all time!
I hate that Tyson lost to Holyfield, but it's a top 3 all time great heavyweight fight!!
Pacquiao weighed 140 for that fight, same as Erik Morales. He was also younger. He is only coming in at 143-148 on fight night today.
To say he is weight drained is ludicrous. Morales is taller and came in at the same weight, he looked even skinnier, because he was. For the next fight Pacquiao came in at 143 I believe, and Morales came in at 139.
Pacquiao looks very healthy. 140 for a 5'6 person when you're cut is a perfect size.
Consider that DLH fought Pac at 147 on fight night (7 pounds more than Pac came in for Morales) and DLH is 5'11. THATS weight drained. Pacquiao looked to be as comfortable as possible, as he probably walks around at that weight.
