    Bazooka knocks out Morales far worse than Pac did either time.

    Loses an even wider decision than he should have lost by in the first MAB fight; possibly gets stopped late.

    Love Morales, but Gomez at 122 was one of the most talented, powerful, vicious fighters of the modern era. A peak 'El Terrible' might be hard enough to last the distance and lose a wide points decision.

    In his prime at 122, Gomez had everything...Gomez decision. In a great one.

    No man lasted to a decision at 122 vs Gomez. Morales wouldn't have either. He had too much warrior in him, and Gomez was cruel and vicious...too much so for Morales.

    Morales is miles better than anyone Gomez fought at 122.

    If we're talking the Gomez that fought Zarate or Derrick Holmes, then I go with Wilfredo by stoppage late. If it's the 1982-ish version, the guy that wanted only to stalk and brawl with opponents, then it's even money.

    Not sure if it was even a matter of him wanting to brawl, or if he simply didn't have the legs any more and HAD to fight that way. Gomez's legs are the deciding factor in this fight.

    More so than Pintor or Zarate? Morales would have been taken out on his shield.

    Morales gets stopped in my opinion due to the fact that he would be aggressive once he got caught with something good. He always had to get you back after you caught him and would have played into Gomez hands.

    I think Morales will give Gomez some tough moments, definitely. But Gomez is the king in this division and a peak Wilfredo had it all. I think Morales, as much respect as I have for his talent, becomes a stoppage victim.
