Prime Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao - Who Wins?

[Fasttimes]

In their trilogy it was against a faded Morales. How do you envision a bout at 122 or 126 lbs going? They were both going through everyone.

Prime Erik Morales.

Why? cause a prime Erik Morales is just skilled for Pacquaio.

Pac was still very skilled. He just looked more devastating against slower/chinnier fighters at the higher weights.

Toss up, I'd probably lean towards Morales though.

If we are talking about both fighters in their Prime, the Pac that KOed Hatton and dismantled Cotto is scary.

Was Pac 122/126 for those fights?

We had faded slightly faded Morales beat up a very much prime Pacquiao.

Pacquiao didn't know how to control distance without movement. Still doesn't. Morales would take advantage of that every time.

Excellent post. People point to the Hatton and Cotto fight but NEITHER had Morales' right hand to the body/head nor were they able to gauge distance as well as Morales did.

Don't even get me going on comparing Morales' chin to Hatton's or Cotto's. No offense to Hatton or Cotto but Morales was granite in his prime.

Why don't people understand that you can be prime and not have peaked? a past prime Morales DID beat a Prime Pacquiao
