    Morales' long reach may pose danger to himself against PACQUIAO!!

    A long reach may be thought of as an asset. But there is one drawback I can think of, and that is it would be harder to **** back to fire again for shooting in the inside.

    Morales' long reach may be a problem for himself against Manny "PacMan the Destroyer" Pacquiao's relatively shorter reach. In the inside, a shorter reach is a good arsenal against a longer reach.

    Morales can box from the outside and fire from the outside but that may pose another problem because of Pacquiao's bob and weave style.

    But surely this would be an explosive fight to see. I will not miss it on March 19, 2005, at MGM Las Vegas. But if I won't be able to go there physically, I'll be watching it on Pay Per View.

    I am new here and plan to bet on this fight for the fantasy betting. May I ask and I mean no offense, before I listen to any advice you have on these two fighters are you either Mexican or Filipino?

        I did not mean to offend you because I am not a racist man. The truth is this fight is an international fight. Whenever you have two combatants face each other representing their countries, you will find people throwing all logic out the window in order to root for their countryman. Even if it is plain to see that their countryman is not skilled against the opponent. This happened with the Bruseles and Mayweather fight where some Puerto Rican fans threw their logic out the window and claimed their countryman who was obviously less skilled than Floyd, would win against Floyd. I just don't want to take advice from anyone who is being illogical, and I don't mean you, I'm talking about anyone.

              Pacquiao by 2nd KO, by second round Pac must have figured him out already. But you don't have to take my word on it for your betting. Do your homework, and watch Pacquiao's past fights if you have the tapes. I don't know if in Pacquiao's website they still show all of the fight videos, you may try.

                Very true. ****ing your arm back would slower your punches and Pac can capitalize with his faster hands. Although he has to be very carefull, the more **** (lol) the more power and Pac might himself eating a delicious uppercut when he comes in. If he gets in range, Morales can pick him off with his longer arms, but fighting in closed quarters, longer arms won't be your best friend.

                    Pacquiao is not gonna fight on the inside ala Barrera. If he does its almost a for sure thing he isnt dropping Morales. Simple physics he wont have the leverage up close to drop someone like Morales. Pacquiao's power comes from the huge lunge he takes in his 1 - 2. Thats why this fight is so great. Pacquiao will rely on the distance he kept against both Barrera and JMM as will Morales which means... Maximum power for Pacquiaos left and Morales' right. Morales' reach will be an asset against pacquiao as his power will be felt more by him beccause they will fight at distance at both fighters preferance. Morales wont even have to move as much to keep the distance. If pacquiao starts fighting on the inside it will be because he will have felt the power and decided to stay in the "less powerful" saftey pocket just like other fighters have elected to do after feeling the power of Morales.
