He definitely fought fire with fire, though. Calculated, sure. But that was more brawl than boxing lol
Well, Pac was winning the brawling and Morales won when he implemented the jab and straight. Technically, Pac out brawled Moralesbut I don't want to get into semantics as it takes away from what are some of my favorite fights ever.
Pacs second fight with Marquez IMO was the most beautiful fight of this time period.
It was a brawl, but there was so much footwork, technique, speed, counter punching, at such a non-stop pace, that it didn't even feel like a brawl. That was easily one of the highest level boxing performances by 2 fighters I'll ever see.
That was the perfect fight IMO.
I can second that. Beautiful technique, but didn't hold back on any punches. Such a beautiful fight to watch. Part 4 was on it's way to being that until that icebreaking right hand.
Morales knew how to stay in front of manny, manny didn't know how to handle that at at that time.
But he sure learned quick.
It's crazy to think Pacquiaos first 3 opponents on HBO were Barerra, Marquez, and Morales. 3 hall of fame fighters. And manny was still developing at that time himself.
Another reminder of just how cowardly today's fighters are.
His first fight on HBO was against Ledwaba smart guy.

Yeah, I can see what you're saying. I gotta re-watch that fight. The only thing I vividly remember was Morales being hurting Pac and walking him down.

The marquez v VAZQUEZ FIGHT was beautiful. It was a brawl but skilled and crazy counter punching

Yea, there's so much going on in their fights that it's hard to remember all of it. They really are timeless and re-watchable. Gatti-Ward might arguably #1 but MoralesPac and MoralesBarerra areones I can watch annually and never get tired of.
