    Title should say Morales'

    Any new news. I had heard he wanted to return once he took some rest from boxing.

    Side note..not that the outcome would be any different but why didn't Pac agree to fight Morales at 135?

    oscar wants him at 160, (you know, to continue on with his hall of fame resume with nothing but losses)..
    wins dont count no more, as long as you have good names, your a bona fide hall of famer to the 3rd power.....

    so make room for augustus and zab judah !!!!!

    not bad. except I see how they welcome new members on here HAha. Overall seems like less bias people here than over there where the popups flood your screen.

    **** off.his barometer was diaz and that told him he was done.I know it happens alot but greats like morales should not tarnish their records with comebacks that ulyimately end in failure..

    I would assume 135. 140 he would get jacked up. 135 is already a stretch..He didnt look too bad against diaz at 135, felt he did enough to win.

    I'd love to watch him fight a Marquez/Casamayor/Campbell/Guzman just to see where he is at. He is most likely done but I will always cheer for him.

    I felt he won vs Diaz too but that was his last hurrah,he won't be fighting anymore.I will always cheer for him if he fights anyway.

    Haven't you heard? Morales is finished. He could have gone a few more years but unfortunately he ran into the Pac storm.

    Thats enough for el terrible. His legacy as the 2nd best Junior Featherweight is secured(under Gomez, over Fenech), but now hes just hurting himself

    I would much rather have him enjoy his retirement than come back to fail.

    He is not part of the elite ring of fighters anymore. He has money, a promotional company, and round belly that says he is good, so why bother.
