    After St. Clair, Pacquiao faces Morales next

    After St. Clair, Pacquiao faces Morales next
    By Ronnie Nathanielsz, Manila Standard, 11 Oct 2004

    Top Rank Inc. promoter Bob Arum told widely respected international referee Bruce McTavish that he and promoter Murad Muhammad have “a done deal” for a blockbuster February showdown between Erik “El Terrible” Morales and Ring Magazine featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao.

      Bad Idea for Pac. I think Morales is too strong for him. Plus, Pac needs to finish his business with Marquez.

      Also, what if Barrera beats Morales? Pac-Morales evaporates.

        If they both loose, MAB will want his rematch against PAC more than ever. It'll be MAB/PAC, and Morales would likely move up or face JMM. I doubt it though.

        The more I read about this St.Clair, the more I get nervous lol. Just cuz I don't want PAC/Morales to be in jeopardy. It will be a hell of a fight and if Pac knocks him out, geez, it'll cuz an uproar.

        To be honest H, I don't even think HBO will cover this fight. It'll be in the Phillippines and there were no reports of HBO dishing out cash for it. I'm certain it won't be at the undercard and HBO after dark is too small to invest cash by doing a show outside the country I think. I don't even know if we'll be able to see it....I'm sure we will but I don't know which network.

          Well only a very small amount of people really thinks Pac can beat Morales so it wouldn't be career damaging. Besides, if Pac looses people wouldn't think that Pac is a hack only that Morales is just THAT good. If he does loose, JMM and MAB are both still there and with the up and coming featherweights, Juarez, Guzman(should be moving to featherweight anytime now), even with Chi and Harrison there will always be fights even if he looses.

              Well Pac has already been tested and passed with flying colors. From Sasakul, to Ledwaba, to MAB, top Marquez these were all quality opponents. St. Clair has lost against his share (chico, dorin. Manny's also a top 10 p4p and pretty highly ranked in some. The only thing that can **** it up is if he doesn't train as hard cuz he's in the phillippines (playing pool I hear....dumbass)but he'll be back next week at Wild Card, plus Feddie Roach will be with him in the Phili. during the fight so that's also a plus. Sure hope he can focus now that he has a fight set.

                I agree that Morales will be too much for PAC.

                  so you think it'll be one sided? A beatdown?

                    The worst thing Morales can do is to go toe-to-toe with the Pacman.
