This is the fight that i will surely pay for, morales, barrera and jmm are almost in the same level.

Many of you people posting have obviously never seen Morales in his heyday. I saw Morales in his last fight, I saw him carved up by MannyP, and it was onvious even then that he was finished as a top fighter, and the only way from then on was down, and steep at that.

I saw Morales again a few months ago for the very first time since his comeback. I didn't realise who he was. The commentary was in Spanish, which I don't understand. But I DO recall thinking that this guy couldn't really be fighting for a title, he was so slow, so lethargic, so laboured the way he pushed out his left hand, and never moved his head, that he was almost the worst fighter I'd seen for a long time. However he plodded away and persevered, although his opponent wasn't much good either, it was a terrible fight.

Believe it or not, I only really saw who he was when he was walking out of the ring and directly towards the camera.

I was appalled.....still am. He should retire immediately. All he has is a tough jaw and persistence and that isn't nearly enough.

Now that is a boring fight if I ever saw one. Not interested at all

Thats pretty much how I see it.

Manny will announce his next opponent today.....

According to Seckbach, Manny will announce his next opponent today.....



I'm betting that it will either be Cotto or Bradley.

I don't think Morales has what it takes to beat either Pac or JMM anymore. Him fighting either one would probably be a big money fight, just because of the names, like Pac - Mosley was. I like Morales and his experience caries him when fighting against lesser fighters, but he just isn't on that elite level anymore.
