      Nah he was. He was struggling to make 130, thats why he moved up in the first place. Then they moved him back down. And then after doing that, after two consecutive losses and it being clear he was on a downslide, they fought him yet again.

        and that morales II fight is a great example of the difference the punchers gloves/horse hair makes

        you will swell alot easier, you just get damaged alot more when there's more bone(fist) to crash against bone(face), in the first fight morales barely had any swelling

          Morales and Barrera are the kind of fighters that Floyd will duck if they're on the same weight division.

            who cares if he was struggling? roy jones fought at 168 while still campaigning at 160 because he was planning on moving up soon and it was getting harder and harder to lose the weight

            killing yourself to lose weight doesn't mean you'll be drained but eventually you wont be able to make it

            in the second pacquiao fight morales was still good, in the third fight (nearly a year later and from inactivity) morales didn't make it

              Yea he was struggling. Thats why he moved up. He complained. Roach teased him. Plus he was coming off a decisive loss. Facts are facts. Move on.

                Some people say the 3rd fight was good because they were 1-1

                    Yup -- which made him a perfect opponent next.
