    morales did not made the weight against raheem and it goes to show that he did not train that well for that fight. morales made the 130 limit against pacquiao on the rematch and was actually giving pacquiao fits on the early rounds leading by several rounds. it was pac's investment on the body that led to morales' downfall and his first stoppage of his career.

    Not shot - but battle weary , too many wars and he suffered badly for not moving up to 135 after his first loss to Pac - if anyone thinks that saying Morales was drained is just an excuse go and look at the weigh in for Morales V Pac 3 - ive seen healthier looking people on a cancer ward .

    No it was the weight draining. Look at the picture of Morales at the weigh in. He was a damn skeleton. He even said it in the corner after about 5 rounds i believe. He told his corner his legs were numb and he could not feel them.

    and pacquiao looks like a damn skeleton in the barrera and marquez fight as well.

    morales was actually dominating pacquiao up to the 5th round of that fight until all those body shots that pac invested in softened morales up.

    Nope until the weight drainage finally took it toll. Pac only invested to the body because he knew morales was a drained skeleton in that ring. His plan paid off in the end.:good

    eric was not shot. He was a victim of multiple concussions starting with the Rahim fight. The guy Pac fought the second time was damaged goods..

    at least you're admitting now that pac did a good job hitting on morales' body. :good

    now morales was actually continuing his domination of pacquiao just like the first fight. pac was not actually out but morales was actually winning rounds. oh morales' was a skeleton that night that he was not supposed to do that. :lol: or maybe since you guys are on the skeleton excuse already, let's throw the puncher's gloves situation that pac is wearing now and not the pillow that he was forced to wear on the the first fight.

    so those body shots made Morales legs numb?? It was the draining dude. Why the hell do you think Roach kept saying hell no to fighting at 135. They even put in a clause where MOrales would pay 250k per half pound over the 130 limit.

    Shot is a legitimate description when it is warranted. De La Hoya was shot against Pac. No doubt. Morales is not shot now, but is not as lightning fast as he used to be. I would like to see him retire now with a title. Do not want to see him take a beating laters to a younger fighter in his prime.

    Before PAC was a threat to Floyd some *****s believe Morales isn't shot and its a legit win. Now that PAC is in Floyd's division these ****ing idiots (*****s of course) says Erik is shot as ****. That's how badly they wanna discredit Pac's win. :dead:dead:dead

    pacquiao had just moved up from 126 to 130 to fight morales. so after a tune-up, why would pacquiao move-up again to accomodate morales when morales didn't even want pacquiao to wear his preferred brand of gloves?

    also morales can actually not fight pacquiao since his team has the only option to rematch or not rematch pac for a 2nd or even a 3rd fight. pac's team doesn't have this option. if morales thinks 130 is not doable, they should not have rematched pac in the first place. the fact that they signed on to fight pac means that they think that they can still beat them again at that weight.

    Im a ******* and it wasn't much of a win. CAUSE I EXPECT PAC TO KO ERIK the second fight. But to say Morales was shot to **** according to you idiots is just plain disgusting. He was up against a future top 15 ATG. Nothing he can do about it. :deal
