Who wins? Morales obviously had the power to knockout any fighter that stepped in the ring with him. so lets say Mayweather stepped in the ring with him at superfeather weight. does mayweather still have speed and quickness to avoid morales' power or does he get caught and gets KTFO... in my opinion Mayweather gets KTFO by Morales. morales was a pimp during his hayday.
He sure was a pimp but his tendency to brawl would be his undoing against a complete fighter in FLoyd... At 130 Floyd had it all.. even punching power... Morales gets wrecked.
BTW MOrales wasn't at his best at 130.. He started slowing down at 130 as shown in the Jesus Chavez fight.. HIs best was at 122, was still good at 126, but started losing a couple steps at 130... Floyd kills him.
Floyd easily. Too fast and a big size advantage over Morales. 130 wasn't even Erik's best weight. You say that he had the power to KO anyone but he only has 1 KO in 5 fights at the weight. He was a KO machine at 122 and a big puncher at 126 but he simply didn't score a lot of KO's as he lost the big size advantage that he enjoyed at the lower weights.
All that bull**** means nothing when your outmatched astronomically in every category of skill. Gatti had that advantage you speak of and is probably still pissing blood.
IT would be a hell of a fight. Morales didnt just have power he had great boxing skill also. People forget how good his jab was too. PBF has been known to get his rythm thrown off by a stiff jab. Morales definately had that and a good right uppercut which would find Mayweather at some point. However Mayweather may be just too big for Morales. Being that Morales was not at his best in the 130 lb category.
If there is anything that people are forgetting it's what a beast Floyd was at 130. Only the most elite 130 pounders in history would stand a chance and as you, me and others have mentioned, Morales is not in that category he was at his best at 122 and 126
I love it how people say Floyd would beat the dude when he never ever would step in the ring with them. Classic.
Floyd would never step in the ring to make what would've been the biggest payday of his career up to that point? Against a smaller man? Okay.
