    Morales may not engage on Nov 18

    Erik Morales is considered by the sport as one of the toughest in the sport.

    But even the most heralded of all athletes needs to be smart and should know his limitations. By knowing your capability, you aim to determine up to what extent your performance is, the gauge what type of plan to do to defeat your opponent.

    According to Erik himself, he tired himself up thats why he lost to Pacquiao. Strength and speed are what sets Manny Pacquiao from the rest of the league, and in no means would Erik win on these categories.

    The only good way for him to win is to box and run. Style-wise, Erik have got what it takes to do these. He shouldnt be foolish in trying to engage with Pacquiao and run the risk of losing again.

    Morales fans, including me, would feel very disappointed if he does this, but I would certainly understand if he ever avoids the confrontation. There was an article of him denying this, but in truth he could just be lying. Morales needs this win badly.

    well, morales fan or not, definitely EM will definitely improve on the 3rd fight. but if goes head to head, he had a slim chance of winning. this'll be one helluva fight definitely.

        To quote Winky Wright.. "Its called BOXING, NOT knockouts" If Morales's Fans are disspointed if Erik wins however he can then they are ****** as the people who were critisicing MAB for schooling Juraez... And i suggest they take up UFC.. If Morales go to war with PAC.. I give him almost no chance to win.. If he is smart and keeps his MACHISMO in check.. I give PAC very little chance...

          It would be the best if he would not engage and counter punch as much as he can. If Morales can pull a Barrera-Juraez II then he could win.

              but the diference between Juarez and PAc is that Juarez wouldn't attack as much as he needed to turn it into a brawl. In the other hand pac only know how to fight with pressure. Morales is too much of a warrior to just box, he is going to go toe to toe for atleast 1/4 of the fight.

                but i think going toe-toe 1/4 of the fight isn't enough for EM to win with that kind of style. and he could be susceptible for a KO during those 4 rounds also.

                  Morales might not win all those 4 rounds but i think he will win atleast 3 but then you have the other 8 were he is going to box and frustrate Manny.

                    yes morales is a warrior. im just worried up to what extent can he handle it. he can win without having to go toe to toe.
