Great fighters views on Pac-Morales III!

[GEOFFHAYES]

What about his blueprints for the other 41 bums/oldguys he fought?
I wonder if Morales would be well off using those.

What, try to take the other guys head off as fast as possible?

That's all Calzaghe ever did.

Before Lacy and apart from the Bobbie Joe Edwards fight (because Bobbie Joe - who is Eubank's cousin FWIW - was a slugging cruiserweight, so Joe had to box him)..

He was beating up Italians who were only fighting to pay the utility bill for their pizzerias. That stuff never impressed me.

I agree with Toney's view pretty much, Morales is an older fighter even though hes only 29, and Pacquiao is fresher. I'm pulling for Morales though

Get on Morales - he will be in great nic for this fight - last time out he struggled with weight and was not even close to his prime physically and it showed. He knows how to negate Manny as he showed in the first fight. I like Manny but I still feel he only has one gear - to be fair its not a bad gear to have because he blows most people away but... I think Eric will win.

lmoa you gotta love Calzaghe showing his arrogance the fight aint even about him but yet he knows how to plug himself every chance he gets...calzaghe is funny he overwelhmed lacy his style that night was more like pacquiao then lacy's style...cause calzaghe threw many punches from awkward angles.

also THELL TORRANCE???? did he watch the first fight? they didnt use cleto reyes they used WINNING! he said morales hurt pacman with cleto reyes in the first fight?

(I copied and pasted these from another forum)


Marco Antonio Barrera
"I have fought Both men and they are terrific Boxers, Morales is very strong and has great boxing skills, Pacquiao has the quicker hands and hits harder i hope Manny wins so i can rematch him and avenge my defeat"

Mike Tyson
"Morales has the Boxing brain and the know how to out box Pacquaio he needs to use his reach advantage and his jab, His Jab is the most important weapon he has beacuse he can frustrate Manny with it and offset his game plan, If Manny gets inside however i think he will stop Erik within 8 and Morales comes to fight so i think this will be a great fight"

Lennox Lewis
"Manny is in his prime now and we got to remember Erik is past his i think Erik is gonna be in terrific shape and he may out box Manny but i think the wars with Barrera have really started to tell, Manny turned it up in round 6 of the last fight and changed the course of it if he does that from the opening bell this time i think he tkos Morales in 6"

James Toney
"No way in hell does Erik win this fight i respect him as a warrior and a fighter but thats gonna be his undoing beacuse hes ****** enough to take more punishment this is round 11 of fight 2,Manny is looking ready and raring to go and i think he stops Erik early he aint got the legs no more"

Joe Calzaghe
"I think People are really selling Morales short people seem to forget that he maybe 29 but he still is an outstanding boxer,Manny Pacquaio has the power which is always a major factor but Morales has the brain and more importantly the chin to withstand Pacquaio last time he was stopped on pure exhaustion, If he uses my fight with Jeff Lacy as a blueprint Morales will win"

Barry McGuigan
"Manny will win this one i think by UD Morales is in much better condition so i dont think he will get stopped but i think the mexican warrior in him will want to prove a point he will neglect his boxing skills and brawl with Manny and theres only going to be one winner in that type of fight"

and Thell Torrance
"Erik is using the cleto gloves and i think this has been overlooked as being a key factor in this bout,When Morales used those gloves in the first fight he hurt Manny countless times even doubling him up with a body shot i dont think Morales will wear out like last time i think he will mix outboxing Manny with some trading and i think this time Morales stops him"

Great post, thanks for that.
