    This is how he did against Maidana and Garcia- both more dangerous fighters than Rios.

    There were points in the fight where he was just schooling them, despite being shot to **** and fighting in a weight class he was too small for against 2 killers.

          Morales that fought Maidana would probably take a decision. But any other time, rios would beat him up and maybe stop eric

            Morales wasn't doing hardly **** against Maidana. He fought like 15 seconds a rd and did well, then got beat down the rest of the rd....

            Morales almost beat Garcia a year later, so I will give him that.

              Morales made Maidana wear pillows.

              People ignore this for some reason.. I won't though, because I'm not in love with Morales like a lot of you.

                Yeah but rios isn't as skilled as Maidana. And I agree that first fight vs Danny version if morales would have a chance to beat rios

                  What do you mean by pillows were they not 8oz gloves? I seen that fight as a draw Morales vs Maidana & then like you said he gave Garcia a good run & let's not forget that was a horrible version of Morales against naturally bigger guys that should tell you what he was in his prime. 122 lb prime Erik beats any version of Danny & Maidana.

                    Pad distribution and type of pad is what's the most important in gloves. You can have 4 oz gloves, if 3.9 ounces is over the knuckles, they could be called pillows.

                    Morales vs Maidana was not a draw. Not even close. I'm not saying Morales isn't a great either. Of course he is.
