Morales has a steel chin

I'd like Pacquiao to win 'cuz he's Pinoy.

But between Morales and Barrera, I'm for the Baby-Faced Assassin. I lost my respect for El Terrible when he threw water on the face of MAB's father when MAB tried to shake EM's hand after the fight.

Morales will lose for all of the following reasons:
Pac is faster, he punches harder, his work rate is higher than Morales who likes to slow down the pace of the fight, pac is a southpaw, and youth is on his side.

Morales is the better boxer and is a rugged veteran but its not enough.

Posts like this (sorry to single this one out floyd) make me a bit angry. Outside of his "speed and power", which are always the so-called deciding factors in a Pac fight, Pacquiao does little to nothing better than Morales. Neither guy is a defensive wizard. Morales does however box better than Pac when he decides to box, he has a better chin, he throws multiple punches from different angles, he's more ring savvy and experienced at his current weight, and he can shift gears in a fight better than Pacquiao. The age difference that everyone speaks of is also very slight.

Anyway, to say that Morales is just a rugged veteran is definitely overlooking his abilities. He rarely looks blatantly bad in a fight outside of MAB...and he knows exactly how he will pick his opponent apart once he steps in that ring.

Oh ok thanks for that.

I hate to bother, but does anyone know which one of these two struggled badly and tried to quit against Agapito Sanchez?

Im sorry, It's just my boxing knowledge is a little rusty this evening.

When you hurt your hand, how hard can you punch.

TRUE U SAW HOW HARD HEADED MARQUEZ WAS. HE WOULDNT STAY DOWN.MAYBE CAUSE THEY WERE FLASH KNOCK DOWNS AND NOT KO PUNCHES.THEN AGAIN HOW GOOD CAN U BREATH WITH A BROKEN NOSE THE WHOLE FIGHT?

He's never "******" into trading with anyone ever besides Barerra maybe. I think he knows full well when he wants to get in, mix it up and brawl. With Barerra it's different because he hates the ****er. I think if we see Erik brawling with Pac, he'll be quite confident and won't be put down as easily as Pac supporters think.
