The kid in me still wants that fight, but I dunno Eric.....

At what weight, 140 ?

I dont know why some guys want to walk into fights like that, and yet some guys dont wanna fight anyone with a pulse.

I think I would prefer for that fight to be regarded as one that we missed out on, rather than one that happened far too late for either guy.

I would truly hate to deny a great fighter, but I dont think so.

Anyone else interested in that fight ?

When Morales was at the top he didn't give Marquez his shot so I understand where Marquez is coming from not wanting to fight Morales now. The thing is though, I really want to see this fight. Make it happen Marquez.

My two all time favorite fighters..

I would love to see this fight.

Morales must be sacrificed...to give Marquez his paper title and an easy payday

This is the missing fight of Mexico's big three. Marquez should fight Morales, its a big money fight and at this stage Marquez would be the favorite to win.

Good money fight for both guys

Interesting.

Well, fair point..... but I dont wanna see Morales " sacrificed ".

What would be the point in that ?

Morales doesn't have enough left to hang with Marquez. Some years back I would have loved this fight, but the idea of seeing Marquez dominate Morales so easily doesn't sit well with me. Morales should fight come-foreward ****ers he has shot against, not counterpunchers that can easily pick his ass off. Erik is a warrior and one of my favorites, but he can only take this comeback so far,

Also, Morales should fight his mandatory after Garcia or drop the belt.

Great post man, you got me, I'm with you on this one.

If it happens, then so be it, Marquez is my boy, but I always had a special spot for Eric he is one of my long time favorites.

I cant stand seeing guys stay on too late. It kills me to see fighters like Jones lose to guys who do not deserve to share the ring with him.

It's like my childhood dreams are being washed down the toilet

Bad fight for morales definitely not now... marquez is the best fighter in them three surrounding divisions behind mayweather i'd hate to see a veteran ring warrior get stopped cause that's what will happen.

i'd like to see this happen

It's all about the money, no doubt. Everybody, including Erik's dad and dog, knows that Morales can't win and will be dealt a humbling defeat in the process. After a couple of rounds he will only be around as long as JMM allows him to be. The ONLY reason Morales is a champ today is because Suliaman hand picked and paved the way, just as he did with Baby Chavez and Canelo.
I don't want to see this happen. The intere$t level might be high enough make it happen but the result is already a foregone conclusion and rather pointless.

Marquez wanted to fight him 10 years ago when Morales was a prime Featherweight. Now the tables have turned and Erik needs money. He lost his mind!

Styles make fights and JMM get's schooled by Morales, even at this stage.

JuanMa has no balls to fight Morales, anyway both are Pac's leftovers
