    Did Manny Pacquiao really beat a prime Erik Morales?

    Erik Morales got destroyed by Zahir Raheem just four months prior to rematching Manny Pacquiao. It seems like Morales was washed up at this point and Pacquiao pounced on the opportunity.

          But Raheem actually beat Morales before Pacquaio did, and in dominant fashion.

            He retired him, when you think about it.

            So that list would be:

            Thurman
            Bradley
            Broner
            Hatton
            Margarito
            De La Hoya
            Morales
            Matthysse

              But the thing is, Zahir Raheem dominated Erik Morales four months before Pacquio-Morales ll. So Morales wasn't in his prime when Pacquiao beat him, which crushes the myth that Pacquiao only fought opponents in their prime. Also, this raises questions for Pacquiao, like why didn't he fight the winner of the Raheem-Morales fight?

              Also, Danny Garcia was the wone to retire Erik Morales. Vyacheslav Senchenko was the one who retired Ricky Hatton. Broner and Thurman aren't retired, Antonio Margarito went on to fight four more times.

                    Sure you can lose close, competitive fights against elite opponents. But this fight wasn't close, competitive nor was it against an elite opponent. Erik Morales got utterly destroyed by C-Level boxer who never won a world title in his career. Erik was not in his prime anymore.
