Merged Pacquiao-Morales Threads

No fight of the year. Morales went flying into the ropes after the last KD.

I agree Manny Pacquiao fighter of the year.

[Mr. Ryan]

I was on with my prediction

Before every major fight, Boxingscene's staff puts out a prediction article giving reasons why they think the fight will go the way it will. In my forecast, I stated "this fight just reminds me of the Pryor-Arguello fights, a great featherweight on the slide making his last stand against a vicious predator." What stood out about the second fight was the utter viciousness of the close, give and take combat that was fairly even until the older fighter blinked first. Similar to the first encounter between Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello, Pryor's unrelenting attack was too much a load for the Nicaraguan legend to handle.

In the second Pryor-Arguello encounter, Arguello fought as hard as he could until he had exhausted his will and elected to stay down while still bearing his wits. Almost to the script, Morales followed suit, with the only deviation being that Morales lasted just three rounds.

No one has any thoughts ha?

eric is completley washed up, he got domminated by rahheem and almost drop at one point, got dominated by pac twice his punches are so slow and he has no legs

morales wouldnt beat raheem at any point in his career..just like trinidad wouldnt beat wright at any point in his career..thats just the way it is

erik morales dosent have the skills to move up in weight anyway so he might as well retire..i said that 2 months..once he left 126 he was a very average fighter..he cant beat freitas diaz casamayor guzman none of those guys so he might as well call it quits

I agree with the threadstarter, I feel this fight for Erik was purely for financial reasons. There was no incentive for him to fight on and so he went out early. A lot of nutthuggers refuse to see what is in plain view.

I have to completely disagree with this, Morales is a warrior and is straight up when he says he never fights just for money. I think Morales worked his ass off to make weight and to try to win the 3rd fight againts Manny. To say that he was in it solely for fanancial reasons is to say Morales quit before the fight even began. No doubt Manny was the biggest fight out there for Morales and he would make the most money fighting manny, I believe he went in the fight wanting and trying his best to win. You are the one looking like a nuthugger because you completely discredit Morales just to make your point. I would believe Morales over you.

Man it was a great fight for PAcquiao. The guy has got some good skills and his speed and power are amazing. I wish Morales and him met in Morales's peak.
