    Hey much props to Morales but dont diminish Pac by saying he got schooled. A schooling is what Pac did to Margorito, Hoya, Cotto, et al. Those 12 round demolition jobs is what you would call a schooling. PAC-EM 1 was a close back and forth affair that EM pulled out which took a shitload out of him. I would say that was the fight in which EM shot his last load as an elite.

    i give him more credit beating MAB than PAC. MAB was at his peak when they fought while pac was still a one handed/one dimensional fighter.

    :good

    Morales was at the very end of his prime when he produced that fight... Shows how great he was.

    And in all fairness to Morales, he didnt look bad at all in his last fight. I was actually a bit impressed with how sharp he looked considering the weight and the layoff.

    I know, but it's always been a bout I've wanted to see. Marquez and Morales are the only guys out of the four who havn't got a connection.

    Marquez seems to be slowing down now, and the Katsidis bout could take a great deal out of him. I expect Marquez to pick up the victory, but if he gets dragged into a war...

    actually there were many factors involved on that first EM and PAC fight. I don't wanna talk about it coz it might just sound as an excuse but one things for sure, morales has my respect with or without his win over pac. the guy is a fighter/warrior to the bones...

    Yep...throw in one of those World titles (I'm sure they can find one somewhere) flying around at that fourth weight class, and let the sparks fly.
