Could Manny Pacquiao ever have defeated a prime Erik Morales?

No he would lose.

 

Not with Manny being forced to wears pillow socks or whatever we're rolling with this week.

 

pac never wins in fantasy fights...lol

 

I dont know how you can say Morales would never beat a Prime Pacquiao. Pacquiao still fights the same now, just uses the right hand a little more now then back then. still gets hit with a bunch of counters, still reaches in and throws 3-4-5 punch combinations. Morales would win IMO, same Pacquiao today just a little more right hand

 

Prime or not..Morales will always be the more skillfull one between the two. But Pacquiao is an Anomaly.. Like a tornado that thrashes everything in its path..His speed , endurance, aggression, chin, combinations, punching angles, unorthodox style, strength, punching power would be difficult to overcome..An opponent may win first few rounds or but in the end you will get overwhelmed by his attributes ..

 

But i believe EM's prime was from 122- 130lbs..Manny's from 122lbs , then 135-150lbs..

 

You are incorrect.

 

maybe but who really knows. Morales beat him once already I think there were both in there prime then, so maybe Morales already did beat Pacquiao in his prime.

 

I feel the best Morales beats the best Pacquiao from 130 and under. Anything above that Pacquiao dominates. Pacquiao is a overall better fighter now at the higher weights than he was back than.

 

with pillow gloves, or without pillow gloves?

 

At super bantam he does not beat Morales, at 130lbs, even though Morales beat him handily, I think he'd be capable of doing it.. it would not be easy, however. Seeing what hell JMM gave Pacquiao.

 

No.

 

yea.
