    To summarize what he said: Mexican boxing is in a slump, and many boxers lack skills, preparation, and proper training. Some don't even know how to walk on a ring. He said that Canelo won't develop anymore with his current trainer. He mostly blames TV stations and promoters for lying to the public about the quality of fighters.

    wow, Morales said that in the face of the top commentators from the two biggest mexican tv networks, i hope he doesn't get "canned" for saying that.

    You can't really argue. You also have to extend this critique to ALL Boxing not just Mexican. Boxing went from "old" being 27 to guys now hanging around COMPETITIVELY and DOMINATING at 35+.

    I guess we can't really be mad though. Shows that the human condition has improved considerably. People are finding more to life than to becoming human wrecking balls.

    Mexico also has the most fighters in the world today
    So the chances of becoming champions for them are high too based on the ratio.

    Morales is one of them few warriors that love the sport for the sport itself, rather than the money

    Erik Morales is one of the few hard-headed Top Rank fighters.

    Morales is again right on target.

    Do anyone have a translated transcript of the whole thing? Or something close to what everyone on the panel was saying?
