    You know Morales moved to 135 just to try gain title in a 4th division, and then went back down to 130? He should have never tried 135 at that time. He looked soft versus Raheem.

    What does moving up in weight have to do with what I said? Morales looked shot, no legs and his reflexes looked way off

    That's what I'm getting as jackass.... curb your ****ing paranoia for a minute. Jesus.... o_O

    I cited that as part of why Morales looked so bad versus Raheem was that he didn't move up properly. Hence him looking 'soft'. Plus fighting someone like Raheem, not easy to look good versus someone like him. He's a spoiler.

    One dimensional? You must be high or not know about boxing? Pacquiao best weights were in the lower weights 122 ,126 and 130 where he was a beast, Pacquiao later developed a better right hand but he was not as fast, strong and savage as in the lower weights...

    :lol: Dude...Manny Pac was known as more a one-armed fighter then. So yeah, he may have been a little one dimensional at the time, but it was a BIG dimension of his ability. This isn't exactly news to anyone here.

    I'm sure my schooling of how to use the word 'personified' properly was worse.

    He was one dimensional though... he just had ridiculous physical gifts that made that him a nightmare anyway

    What? only thing he began developing was a steroid habit that let him fight 30 pounds over weight.

    Morales' greatest performance and the most significant victory in his career.

    Also a great performance by Pac considering he was moving up in weight again and got that bad cut above his eye from an early accidental headbutt.

    Did you miss him learning to use his lead hook, a jab and actually having head-movement and being able to fight on the back foot?

    He was still developing when he had the rematch too.

    The difference between the Manny who fought Erik and the Manny who fought Margarito was massive.
