    There's no shame in crying when you lost a close decision in a very tough war.

    What's shameful if you cry without any valid reason at all. :lol:

    And what is more shameful is that the guy beside you is thinking on how to comfort you on bed after.

    I think alot of things made the difference.

    The first fight with Morales was Pac's first fight ever in his career at 130. And he had only fought 3 times at 126. So undoubtedly moving up in weight makes a difference, especially in a close fight where you lose by 2 points.

    Also, that gash above his eye was ****ing nasty, and it was caused by an accidental headbutt early in the fight and it was right above his eye, bleeding into it. In the 2nd fight, he didn't have that problem.

    The gloves probably weren't a big issue. But I still think its a ***** move by Morales that he didn't let Pacquiao use the gloves he wanted. If Morales wants to wear Winning gloves, that's fine, but there's no reason to force Pacquiao to wear gloves that he doesn't wanna wear unless you're trying to get an unfair advantage. Its not like Pac forced Morales to wear Winning gloves.

    Also, Pac improved technically a little bit. I think the footwork was the biggest improvement.

    Also, that's one more war that Morales had to go through, so it had an impact on him for sure even though he wasn't even 30 years old. Pacquiao has been through many wars as well but he doesn't seem to get affected by being in wars as much as Morales.

    All those things add up to make a difference. And in a fight that Morales only won by 2 points, its not surprising that Pacquiao took the trilogy.

    I wonder if it was after this fight Pacquiao decided to become Balquiao or later on?

    Awesome upload, and im the first to admit that Pacquaio is something special. But trying to put reason to this loss seems a little desperate to justify why the "almighty" Pacquaio actually has losses on his record.
    I mean.. the gloves, the cut, his footwork???

    On that night he just wasnt as good as the guy in the other corner.

    Pacquiao fighting Barerra, Marquez and Morales all within less than 18 months really puts Floyds ducking and cherry picking into context. No wonder the JoyBoy crowd hate the Pacman so much. They're as insecure as their idol.

    Very few fighters go through a war like that and dont have their resolve broken. EM just had that one last great performance in him. On a side note EM had a slab of granite for a chin and incredible body resistance. WW fighters havent been able to ship the kind of punishment manny laid on EM in their trilogy.

    The old warrior was just a little too good.

    no problem. as long as on the 2nd and 3rd fight, you can also accept erik wasn't as good as the guy in the other corner. can't have it both ways really.

    Bull****? :rofl The way Manny has changed and evolved is night and day. How you are so blind that you can't see that would have Ray Charles questioning your stance.:lol:

    If you think JMM feels Manny "ain't ****" then you would have to be retared. JMM whether you "FEEL" he lost or won had incredible amounts of difficutly with Manny. For him to think a guy he lost TWICE to "ain't ****" would be like JMM saying he's a terrible fighter beneath "****".

    And your last statement only hammers home the fact that you are not the smartest tool in the shed. Why would Erik NOT want to win every round as a fighter?:rofl

    I'm sure Floyd agrees with you.....after all He's called Manny a hype machine as well. Which is why its a bit frustrating that Floyd has all these reservations about facing Manny whom is CLEARY....all hype and going to be an easy payday. I know it's a bit contradictive to request someone whom you have no worries about in the ring, take tests insinuating that he's too good?:?

    It's night and day. That version of Manny would have been KO'd or beaten by DLH, Cotto, Ricky or Josh.

    spot on.

    I think the best to say is that the best man won in all three fights, leave it at that, and enjoy a great trilogy. Cause you can find reasons for why one fighter lost and the other won, but at the end of the day its better to just enjoy the boxing.
