    To think people actually questioned Morales skills as a boxer

    As a long time Morales fan, I never got why a lot of people thought Morales was nothing more than a brawler.

    I can only assume these were new fans who only caught highlights of his fights, via youtube, years after they happened.

    Even watching this shot to pieces version of Morales, you still see how skilled and talented he is as a fighter.

    Even though I have seen him do this before, that feint in which he fake an left uppercut and came over the top with the right on Garcia never gets old.

      Who's said that about Morales?

      Anyone who's said that about Morales evidently has not followed his career.

        Anyone who loves to brawl, which Morales did in his prime, is automatically considered an unskilled brawler by the masses. It really doesn't matter what skills you have otherwise.

          Several people bro.

          I have had arguments with quite of few posters who have called him nothing more than a face first brawler.

            He's always been so good. The difference in his polish last night vs Garcia was evident.

              i've seen that as well...not just on these boards but others and it irritates me

              El Terrible is not only a skilled boxer, he's extremely crafty


              seeing take those shots last night tho, i wish he would hang em up

                Well Morales was calculating and cunning when he beat Pacquiao but if you want a good example of dumb brawler with no boxing IQ I'd probably suggest Marcos Maidana to you.

                  if anyone actually questions El Terrible's skills and say he's nothing more than a brawler... they should just quit boxing


                  they've failed

                    Erik Morales is and maybe was one of the best and smartest boxers ever.

                    Basically the only thing that kept the young Garcia from destroying him was the fact that he is an excellent skills boxer.

                    You could see in this last fight that his endurance and speed do to age is what slowed him down.

                    Just because you like to mix it up doesn't make you a robot like Margarito.
