Morales Maidana is putting me off boxing

[DET. IRONSIDE]

I dunno but its not right. I'm worried about this fight and every time I see a thread on it I feel like I'm watching a car crash in slow motion.

Very sad.

[Jack Napier]

who else could Maidana fight ?

[BattleHardened]

******ed. Fights like this always take place. It's part of the game. People expect top P4P and top divison fighters to fight every fight. It's just not practical.

I dont see the problem.

Morales really wanted this fight. its not like hes cashing in against some big time fighter, I think he legitimately thinks he can win.

One last fight isnt going to magically make him brain damaged either. Itll be like Ray Leonard-Camacho, or Duran-Joppy.

there are fighters that need to hang them up, because its a health hazard(ie Holyfield). but some guys just want to keep fighting, and are not in danger. I say go on ahead, youve already solidified your legacy, if you enjoy it and youre still safe, then do as you please.

who else could Maidana fight ?

Matthyse, Peterson, Judah, urango, holt, and that's just off the top of my head without counting welterweights

if roy jones career over the last 5 years hasn't put you off boxing i dont think anything will.

I know its just I'm a big Eric fan and this is sad to see.

Who else should Maidana fight?

Alexander? Katsidis? Guzman? Peterson? Judah-Mabusa winner? Urango? Kotelnik rematch?

Damn, let him fight Junior Witter for the jokes, just not the legend.

I dunno Roy's style is different. Less likely to get hit.

Sho you right. Thats the second saddest ending for an ATG behind Ali.

If Morales is half the fighter he used to be it should be pretty good. Maidana is dangerous mostly when a fighter is retreating. If I know Morales like I think I do he wont be moving back. And he'll give the youngun some angles and throw hands. Not guaranteeing he wins but it'll be competitive.
