Is Morales a factor at 140 because he was competitive with Maidana?

    I have nothing against Ortiz and have always viewed him as a boxer with enormous potential but it would do a great deal for him mentally to move on and admit that he straight up quit. It honestly pains me watching the fight as Maidana was just winging telegraphed sloppy overhand rights. He was open all night for Ortiz left hands but he lost he's head. Morales showed what you can do if you're not intimidated by he's power and use your boxing skills. That said Maidana undoubted still won that fight!

          He's been annoying me with his constant denial of quitting, he tends to say "That's all in the past" but won't stop mentioning how the media got at him for quitting. If it's all in the past then stop mentioning it as a whole, either that or own up and promise the fans that it ain't gonna happen again.

            No Chop Chop gave Maidana somewhat of a hard time too and he is beyond shot.

              Morales can be a factor depending on who they match him up with.

              Morales is a superb technician, and he can still outbox a lot of the young guys.

              I don't want to see him in with Khan or Rios. Other than them, I think he is at least competitive with anyone, at least to the point of not taking a beating.

              To be honest, I'm really happy to see him back in the ring. As long as they manage him right, he can still be a force.

                Like an addict admitting they've got a problem him admitting that he quit will on the contrary make him stronger mentally and will win him a tonne of new fans plus he's old ones. Fans forgive and forget easily!

                  It was a clear victory but not dominating. Raheem was running at the very last second.



                  Morales can still compete. That is clear as day.
