    Barrera>Mckinney>Junior Jones.

    Paul Ingle beat Junior Jones to.

    Pacquiao just a bad style match up for him.

    I dont no if Morales would of beaten Hamed. Im sure you have seen Morales getting hit hard and consistently by Hernandez,Chavez,Chi,McCullough,Barrera ? now tell me he is taking Hamed's best punch?

    Im sure Morales would have found a way to deal with Naseem Hamed.

    Morales would have to get Hamed before Hamed got him.

    There is no way he is taking the shots McCullough,Chi etc were catching him with, if Hamed is throwing them.

    Daniel Zarragoza and Chavez buzzed Morales.

    Morales also got a debatable decision over Espadas.

    Well its all speculation ain't it. Morales was skilled when he wanted to be. Not saying he would have walked through hamed but would have definately been an intriguing fight.

    Yeah, i agree. He's a classy little operator only seen few of his fights i must confess though.. Was it his fight vs martin 'too much' power he got ROBBED?

    Agree with everything in the initial post.
    I've got his career set on dvd too - it's amazing how many thrilling fights the man was involved in.
    He could definitely have prolonged his career by boxing more but his willingness to fight is why most of us love him so much.

    Tanks iappreciate it. Definately he has very good skills but if there's a weakness it would definately be the inability to stick to the plan!!!
