No, the only cheating here(if you can call it cheating) is guys who purposely go down one or two divisions below their normal weight so that they can have a height and reach advantage which is unfare to smaller fighters. Maybe Erik should move up in weight but then he'd be subjected to guys like Zahir Raheem.I called it before: all these guys are going to struggle to make weight...Morales struggled last time and he is struggling again.
The only "cheating bastards" are the guys like Pac and Diego who refuse to move up in weight to fight "healthy" fighters...they know Morales and Castillo can't make weight... if they (the fighters like Morales and Castillo) do make the weight, they have to kill themselves to make such a weight...Pac and Diego want the advantage of fighting flat/drained fighters, but it back-fired on Diego, I don't think it will with Pac.
Morales should just pull out, since even if he does make the weight, he probably will not be strong...Of course he is strong at 140+, because that is what his body feels healthy at.
The blame is on Castillo and Morales as well: if they know they can't make the weight they shouldn't try.
Take Kostya Tszyu, the guy outgrew the weight division long ago, but he refused to move up, so what happnes? he starts to get injured as he gets older...part of it is a decline in the body's edocrine system/hormone levels, but combine that with forcing your body to make a weight that it doesn't want to do, it starts to reject your behavior of refusal.Comment

Tyson was said to be around 260 and had to go down to 220 for fight time...Tyson was being lazy and waited till the last minute to drop weight.
Tszyu vs Hatton...part of the problem was age, and inactivity...he looked like crap in both the weigh-ins when he came back, but the Hatton weigh-in was the worst.
Even look at Ali against Holmes, Ali was drained and was able to take a bad beating.
Your examples does not provide evidence that Morales was drained in the second fight, but Erik definitely showed unbelievable endurance and durability for someone who's drained.Comment

he did for the first rounds then he showed he was drained. A not drained Morales qould have taken those punches without even flinching.Comment
