Morales vs Pacquiao is on!

[mr. bojangles]

I agree about people thinking that Morales would be the better guy against Barerra in the last fight. MAny thought he'd just overpower and outclass him.

I think you are a bit off however when you say Erik hates to box. Morales hates to box....AGAINST BARERRA. I think he just hates MAB so much he feels inclined to make the fight into a raw slugfest. He is one of the better pure boxers in boxing when he actually decides to do it. He reminds me of Thomas Hearns in a way. When he boxes he can be masterful but he really loves to mix in the brawling whenever possible.

Exactly.

He's a good boxer, if and when he decides to be scientific/tactical in a fight. But you know what, from what I see in my El Terrible fight collection...his boxing is just 'sporadic' - he can't/unable to stick to it, he'll be boxing in a few rounds and eventually he'll be drawn into a brawl...it's like he just throws boxing out of the window and goes to war. Not just against Barrera.

Check out his fights against Junior Jones, Paulie Ayala, and In-Jin Chi. He dominated Ayala...KO'd Jones (who has beaten Barerra badly twice), and had his hands full in an exciting fight with In-Jin Chi.

cool.... I will check those out. Thanks OG.

Oh damn...In my opinion Morales has less of a chance of beating Pacman than JMM does. Morales may have a good chin but Pacman throws "murder bombs". Morales is dead man walking.

Man I never thought this fight would happen. I thought Erik was going up in weight to 135 lbs before fighting Pac. Shame the fight with Marquez didn't go through. I really wanted to see if he did figure out Pac. Oh well, out with old in with the new. I can't wait for the fight to happen.
