Morales and barrera

**The Big Dunn** · 10-10-2014, 07:30 AM

Barrera was thought to be done but he wasn't and he gave Hamed a boxing lesson and an ass whipping. He resurrected his career and even though he wasn't at his peak, that's a great win IMO.

Morales lost to Zahir Raheem the fight before. It wasn't even a close fight, Raheem absolutely dominated Morales. IMO he was no longer "el terrible" but "just terrible". Following the Raheem loss Morales went on to finish 2-7. If it were anyone else the win wouldn't be given nearly as much respect.

If you've never seen someone fight, or don't know anything about boxing. Don't talk about them or post on a boxing website.

Have you ever heard of punctuation you simpleton?

Also, where does this horseshit come from about guys not being great because they lost?

Barerra was top 5 p4p when pac beat him,just sayin..morales was past it but that was not why he lost to raheem ,instead it was coz of styles imo..also, pac vs morales trilogy happened in a span of 16 months

I got winded reading that freaking run on on top of run on sentence of yours OP.

Barrera and Morales were kings in the golden age of featherweights.
