Is 135 really too big for Morales??

Well, i dont think Morales is scared. I think Morales would have moved up in weight had he beat pac the second time. Can you imagine if Morales had beat Pac on the rematch? It would have been huge, he would have had all that momentum going in to the higher weightclass. But because he was beat by raheem and because of the way he lost to pac, it must have set those plans back. Another thing to note is that Morales would have no power what so ever if he went up in weight.

I remember after morales beat pac there was alot of talk of him fighting chico...im glad that never happened.

Zahir Raheem, who isnt that great, pooped on him.
Morales isnt scared, he is just too small for 135.

Raheem should have won, and would have, if he could grasp the simple concept of not grabbing behind the head and hitting.
He was down 4 points, and Juarez won 4 or more rounds, therefore Raheem loses.

I mean he only just have one fight in the LW Division, but Raheem schooled him, and now theyre saying LW is too big for him.

Is LW too big for him or is that Raheem was just the better fighter? Is just one fight enough gauge for the Morales camp to abandon their plans for a LW campaign. So much noise have been generated by Erik's inability to scale down safe to SFW because they said that his body right now is that of a NATURAL lightweight, yet theyre avoiding that division.

Im an Erik fan too, but his camp need not to make dumb excuses. The move to LW is inevitable. Its either they face it or Erik retires.

I didn't think you were as ignorant as your buddy benjamin. Congratulations you're now on benjamins level.

If Morales would have defeated, pacquiaoa, he would have rematched Raheem. Now Morales wants revenge and after his win, he will fight Raheem. Morales didn't take Raheem seriously and it was no schooling.

i honestly think that 135 is too big for morales and that 130 is too small, erik is a rock stuck in a hard place.

he's killing himself to make 130, but the guys at 135 are too big for him to really a level playing field with them. guys at 135 are usually dropping weight to fight there, and although morales weighs more, it's not his natural fighting weight, morales has gainned weight from maturing and getting older, there is a big difference. erik has moved up from 126 which when he was fighting there he was walking around at 135-140, no he's weighing more than that in between fights, his small frame isnt' really set to fight at 135. he will get bullied at that weight. the end is coming soon in the great career of erik morales.
