    I'd pick morales but I wouldn't be surprised if loma pulled a rabbit out the hat . But at 126 . Morales at 130 was one great win really . He was at his best at his first two weights

      Jeez... what a great fantasy matchup.

      Roman you’re pretty ****** but this is a great matchup. Remember, I picked Rigo to beat Loma. Erik was one of those fighters who could literally beat anybody.

      Also; remember that the Morales that beat Pac was not a prime Morales...

      Think about that.

              Eric was too fast in his prime, and I’m not triangulating anything.

                He lost to Barrera twice in his prime, who is not even close to Loma's level.

                See how that works?

                  I mentioned before he fought Barrera. Pre wars with Barrera

                  Salido could never beat Loma again.

                  But, salido got away with low blows, and more.

                  I have nothing more to add.

                  Not looking for another long drawn out back and forth, so forgive me if I don’t reply. I’m fighting in the lounge and the dome.

                    Oh, so you think he was no longer prime just because he lost?

                    Lol how convenient.

                    Morales was 26 and 28 when he lost to Barrera. And 29 when he lost to Raheem. Those were all prime losses. Both Pacquiao losses were when he was 31, so those are debatable whether he was prime or not but I tend to think a fighters prime is between 24 and 34, personally.

                    Try a new angle.

                    Morales was a sharp puncher with a lot of skills. But, as you saw in the Barrera and Raheem fights, those skills were still limited. Prime Loma would make him look like a fool.

                      Nope, not saying that at all. Stop jumping to conclusions.

                      I am trying to say that his wars with Barrera took a lot out of him.

                      I think after the first Fight with Pac, in 2000? I think he could have beaten Loma. My opinion.

                      Just my opinion, and I am entitled to that.
