Morales a four division champ my ass...

[Zocalo]

It would be a very hollow title... and everyone knows it.

Morales-Berrios is by far the biggest joke of a title fight the WBC has ever sanctioned. Worse than Pacquiao-Margarito, Canelo-Hatton and Berto-Cab Driver. We have a guy who has never won a fight at 140 vs a guy who has never fought there before in his life. The f**k kind of s**t is that?

I like Morales, but I will NOT consider him a four division champ for this. Even Arce is more of one, even with an interim title. Morales should have to earn the title by fighting Bradley for it, or challenging Khan for his two. I suppose Bradley being stripped for inactivity isn't necessarily a horrible thing because they do have rules (even though they never follow them unless they want to hand a title to somebody), but still, this is some corrupt s**t.

I can't believe this will go in the history books...Even as a Morales fan, I'm hoping for an upset. History will NOT be made on September 17th.

I can see Morales ranked as a top 10 JW as a result of his bout vs Maidana but definitely not Barrios.

Yeah he's arguably top 10 in the division, but what I don't understand is how losing to the interim WBA champ gets you ranked at #2 by the WBC. that makes absolutely no sense. That's why this is a bigger joke than Pac-Marg. At least Margarito beat somebody ranked, even though he still shouldn't have been ahead of Vanes, Canelo or Angulo

No that was the worst ever,neither even fought in that division.at least Morales Barrios fight there,it's garbage but still not as bad as that,but WBC is responsible for all of this garbage

???


Margarito was coming off a 154 fight. He also fought t 154 prior to that.

morales beat diaz and maidana. he should really be a 5 division champ.

Maidana was the interim champ. Not a real belt. Plus I didn't see very much controversy in that fight. He started very slow, and gave up the last two rounds too. I think Maidana did enough to pull it out. You could argue the Diaz fight though.

[Spray_resistant]

He has nothing more to offer as a fighter?
I would not go that far, did you not see his fight with maidana?
He can still fight.

He had a few spots because Maidana has no defense and obviously took him lightly but he was battered on the ropes for most of the fight actually, the guy is done and ppl should stop supporting him, its a joke at this point.

I honestly don't see how anyone could say Morales won that fight...Yeah he did better than anyone expected, but let's not pretend like the beginning and the end of the fight didn't happen.

Yes he did do better than expected where I and most ppl thought after 4-5 rounds of punishment he would be stopped but I was totally baffled when ppl were saying it was close and that it actually could have gone his way.

This is a joke fight. Morales as much as I love the fighter is not a legitimate 4 time division champion. This is serious corruptness from WBC. And his ascension to 4 division titles is as corrupt as Pacquiao's 8 division titles.

Honestly, Pacquiao is only a legitimate 6 division champion. His victories in Lightweight and Junior Middleweight should be taken with a sack of salt. He only beat David Diaz for the Lightweight title. Antonio Margarito as an opponent for the Junior Middleweight title were atrocious and undeserved. It is still respectable for Pacquiao being a 6 time division champion.

Back to Morales, regardless of what the history books say. He is not a true 4 division champion. I am betting Jorge Arce or Fernando Montiel have better chances of clinching their 4 titles than Morales.
