Barrera is MUCH better, Junior Jones is better, Zaragoza was a multiple time world champ with a win over Carlos Zarate and 11 or 12 title defenses. Rigo has a couple wins - and gets wobbled many times - against mediocre opposition and then stinks out the joint in a non-fight against a quality fighter and you want to put him up as an ATG. That's just stupid. Ignorant. Insulting to the sport itself. Outrageous. There's absolutely no way to come to that conclusion based on anything he's done. I'd lay 100 in a heartbeat that 99% of the people saying this bull****, including you, are black and only saying it because he's black. That's infuriating frankly. You didn't see me talking about how Bernard Dunne was the goat SBW after he beat Ricardo Cordoba did you? Odds are VERY good that Rigo will get stopped cold in his next few fights given how easy it's been to hurt him by guys like Marroquin. And you know it, assuming you have even a fraction of a boxing mind.
My thing is Raheem out boxing Morales. I feel it's safe to assume if you put Barrera, Morales and manny in with a guy who doesn't stand there and trade with them then they're close to obsolete. I'm just tired of hype jobs getting credit just for being entertaining. It's not fair to the better fighters in the sport and plus its destroys boxing's creditibilty. Idiots growing up think Manny's actually surpassed Armstrong. Morales and Barrera are just gatti and ward. Raheem exposed Morales and should get more credit than Manny when he beat him. Stop hyping up rockem sockem. Welcome back to the sweet science. And it's only going to get worse when more Cubans start coming in. They actually work on skill. A lot of "warriors" are in trouble. Rockem sockem destruction is what mma is for. Not boxing.
That was five years, four weight classes and 15 fights later. That Morales bore no resemblance to the EM at 122. That shouldn't have to be said. I'm not sure which universe you exist in, but you don't get to be considered ATG status without knowing how to cut off the ring and chase people down. MAB spent his whole career doing just that. Stand on the outside with Morales and he'll knock your head off with a right hand. Cubans have ALWAYS been in the sport. They just usually absolutely suck as professionals because they get knocked the **** out by those rockem sockem robots. Rigo's been on the verge of that several times and I expect that pretty soon we'll see him face down on the canvas. You know DICK about the 'sweet science'. So just stop.
That's cool, you got your opinion. Morales is 5'8 fight and never wanted guys his size hence he's getting slid by Garcia today. Don't care.
Not calling him a ducker. Just a guy who's overpraised because of Manny Pacquiao. Same with Barrera. Nice fighters who fought mainly Mexican fighters and with good reason.
One of the worst posts i've ever seen. Comparing Morales and Barrera to Gatti and Ward.atschatsch OFF yourself ASAP.
Nice job sidestepping what I said. Morales deserved an L against Barrera at 122. And don't kid yourself. Barrera was not better than Donaire at 122. Donaire won fighter of the year and never got stopped. You'd have to be a Mexican to pretend Zaragoza and Junior Jones were better than Donaire. Just keep waiting for Rigo to get knocked out...just like your boy did by Junior Jones, who was kind of frail himself. Did you really just imply that Morales' win over Jones was better than Rigo's win over Donaire? You know that makes you an idiot, right?
