    The weird thing is.... I thought Morales was prime in their 1st fight & MAB prime (as in at his most complete) in fight 2... its just that Morales went to war in fight 1 which is why it was so close & boxed in fight 2 which is really his strength & Barrera was beaten handilly.

    You are absolutely hallucinating. The fight that actually happened has no resemblance to the fight that happened in your head. You are a worse nuthugger than ANY *******, soriano and silverwhatshisface included. I have the fight on DVD. Tape doesn't lie. It wasn't even a controversial victory for MAB except for some small grumblings here and there, about like JMM over MAB.

    Morales was a great fighter but his decision to not stay in shape year round cost him his career. The guy likes to party. He was spotted at bars during training for his last fight with Manny. I think that he is one of the best fighters ever in his weight class .

    Yeah out of sll the bad decisions in the years, the judges cannot send out one of the greatest/gutsiest warriors ever out with a win.
    But they give other fighter flat out robbery's.

    Tape doesnt lie ? :lol: your right it doesnt, Ive seen the ****.

    I have both versions (British & American commentary), both sets of commentators score the fight by at least 2 points for Morales.
    It was a plain robbery & your a Barrera nuthugging dumb**** if you even try give MAB a draw from that fight.
    If you cant see Morales winning that 2nd fight then your boxing judgement is right down the toilet son, seriously.

    ****in hell :rofl

    Agree. Morales beat up Barrera and his two fathers JJ and Pac. That makes Morales Barrera's grand daddy

    Is it not possible to credit Erik Morales as being a terrific prizefighter and a great representative for the sport of Boxing without discrediting Marco Antonio Barrera in the process? Surely Morales has achieved enough for his career to stand on it's own two legs, without the mention of his greatest rival? You're doing the man a great disservice with this childish bull****.

    If their three fights proved anything it was that both fighters are evenly matched and are both HOF bound. No more, no less.

    No. It's possible for MAB fans to acknowledge EM as a great fighter and give him much respect, but that door doesn't swing both ways. Why?

    Because we are much more educated and gentlemanly than those dumb indians.
