      What did I say? Floyd didn’t know how to clinch and foul as PBF? Or the tongue in cheek, clinching was just about his main offense in later years?

          floyd's arms are way too long, his mastery of distance was way too good. ask yourself if there's a single thing that morales does better. this would look like floyd against his little brother. morales' effectiveness topped out at 130 lbs. his best weights were 22 and 26. floyd was a robust welterweight with 72 inches of reach and respectable power and a very underrated chin.

          again, think about the fighters and the fight and how it would actually go down. styles make fights. think about that concept critically and strategically and tell me how you think the fight would go. and if you say you think morales has anything other than an iceberg's chance in hell you're flat out wrong. by 2005 erik morales was all washed up. by 130 lbs he was all but washed up.

            It would be a Corrales type win because of all the reason you mention.

            In here you have Manny fans that will inflate Barrera and Morales because their Mannys big names, especially so when referencing Floyd.

            Mayweather beats Manny Barrera and Morales at 130-135 possibly stopping all three, if he had of stayed in the lighter weights he would have been a lot more dominant than he was chasing the big names and money in higher weights.
