don't compare Pac vs Morales I to Calzaghe vs Lacy and Hopkins vs Pavlik lol. All 3 judges scored that fight 115-113 for Morales. It was a close fight. The better fighter on the night won the battle. But the overall better fighter won the war emphatically. Pavlik and Lacy would never in their dreams have won trilogies against Calzaghe or Hopkins.
There's a double standard. An excuse is an excuse and if you accept one in one case then expect one to be shot back at you in another case. Morales is an amazing fighter, that's true. And Pacquiao is an even better one who got the best of him in their trilogy. That's also true. It doesn't make Morales a bad fighter to lose a trilogy to Pacquiao. Those 2 knockouts over Morales are more than the window shopping on his resume. They are 2 amazing wins over an ATG and a legend of the sport. They also vindicate claims that were Pac at his best in the first fight it would have gone differently. And most importantly they also got Pacquiao fighter of the year honours in 2006 along with his win over Oscar Larios.
"*******s" are so bad they even bring excuses up when their man doesn't lose. Apparently a weight drained Pacquiao destroyed a peak Barrera, and apparently Juan Manuel Marquez was only competitive on the basis of some sock issue. It's hilarious. They actually believe this stuff too. Comedy.
bladerunner, yeah but pacquiao was younger and fresher. morales had just finished a strenuous trilogy with barrera. a semi-shot morales still had enough left to give pacquaio a nice boxing lesson. after morales went up to lightweight and lost badly to raheem he had to come back down to super feather. by then morales was a shell of himself. no way does a prime morales lose ever to pacquiao at super featherweight or below.
