      Morales wins the 3rd fight IMO.
      hahaha that is if theyre fighting now. but IMO the issue would be done in a months time. P15M is just peanuts for Manny and the situation is nothing new to him including his wife. also his interim bout would him him go back to boxing mode in no time. Pac is motivated more now in continously winning and making more money coz he indicated he wants to retire early. His hunger is money.

          Please shorten your signature, it's really annoying having to scroll through all that **** every time I go past one of your posts, and I'm not going to turn off the option simply because your signature is far too large.

          At any rate, and towards the topic, I don't htink Roach will under train Pacquaio at all. Manny will want to win this fight to show that he really is the better of the two fighters, and that last time wasn't just a case of Morales being tired. Pacman by late KO again, Morales' long journey has come to an end.

            at first that was our initial thought but when he decided to go for EM-Pac3 its clear that he wanted more money. he has the right to postpone EM-Pac 3, JMM and Barios are waiting in the wings but unfortunately for these two they aint raking cash register compared to EM3. He's been yelling MAB and EM's name for the longest time and now that he has dominated and shamed both, his legacy is already intact. Now's the time he goes for the $$$$. As advised by Manny Pinol, a governor and Pac's good friend, he should retire in 2 years time since it'll save his health and Filipinos would rather see him bow graciously rather than see him get defeated. He was asked many times during his trip back home about his retirement and he always says its already one of his considerations and its also his wife's fervent wish (prolly to have more opportunity to guard Manny )

              good post... much like the first fight when morales acted drained and all... it's about getting into the head of your opponent... also when erik said he was going to wear reyes gloves...

                I don't think undertraining is Pac's big worry--at least in terms of fitness. The guy's nonstop energy is unbelievable, and he was in pretty good shape when he lost to Morales the first time. That said, he needs to stay focused and make sure that he sticks to a gameplan, sets up his right hand with other punches, etc. To me, the big differences between the first and second fights were (1) Morales looked like he'd lost a little bit and (2) Pac kept his head and didn't start looking for one big shot too early. I love Morales, but I don't see that he has much hope in the rubber match unless he finds a new source of energy somewhere. I look for this one to be a mirror image of Morales-Pacquiao II or Barrera-Pacquiao. Not a knockout but a "wearout."
