Eric Morales: Top Rank Forced Me To Fight Pac At 130 When I Couldnt Make the Weight

This. :deal

After Maidana crushes him, he'll say, "I was forced to fight someone up at 140. I wanted to stay at 130, where I belonged."

 

WTF? When have I ever said anything different? I have never once in my life said anything negative about Pac fighting Oscar at Welterweight. Oscar makes his own decisions, and Oscar wanted the fight at 147.

 

You're right, I can't disagree with you. My conclusion was based on the fact that the first halves of the two fights were strikingly similar, very close where Morales was clearly ahead. The difference was that Pac had a poor vision disadvantage from round 5 onwards in the first fight that prevented him doing better. Such disadvantage was absent in the 2nd fight where he scored a 10th round TKO. Stamina, more than speed and power has always been the deciding factor in many of Pac fights!

 

I hear what your saying Dr and seems the logic,but who knew Manny would be fighting at 135,140 or even 147 the way Roach would go on and on about how Manny is to small for this weight and that weight.

Roach was realy smart about all that weight stuff.Good strategy on team Pacquiao's part.

There would have been no fight at the time if Morales didn't except 130,just like there would have been no fight if De La Hoya didn't say lets do it at 147.

Dont worry infatuated Pacquiao fans,not taking away anything from Manny.Pacquiao is a beast IMO,but Roach did milk that whole weight Manny is the smaller man thing.

 

Morales only have one fight at 135 before his 2nd meeting with Pac, he came in at 133. do you honestly think that he was drained? by the way, Morales never won a fight at 135.

 

Yup, hindisight tells me Pac would have obliterated Morales even worse at higher weights.

 

135 then, dick..

 

Had Morales been in his prime in the first Pac fight, it wouldn't of mattered if Pac was headbutted or not, Morales would still whoop that ass. See how easy i can play that game too?

Its funny how you *******s give Morales hell for the excuses, but give your hero a pass for his. :yep

Fact is, winning gloves or not, Morales was already past it by the time of the 1st pacquiao fight and still whooped him...Even taunted him in the 12th switching to southpaw. Ya Manny would later beat him twice, but we all know Morales was already past it by then, so its all good. Prime Morales at 122-130 whoops Manny anytime at those weights. :deal

 

I believe him but he wasn gonna win a second fight. That was his last great preformance and at 130 he was drained and at 135 he wasto slow and pudgy so even if he came in at 135 and Manny at 130 he wouldve had a size advantage but Manny would've been even more faster then he was when he was drained at 130. Only thing that changes is he probably stays on his feet and doesnt come close to getting KO'd and Manny just wins a wide Barrera 2 type decision.

 

and morales is just stupid to take the fight

 

Man look at this butthurt fool, Morales is the man I wont take that away from him, he won that fight fair and was the better man that fight. But if that was a prime pac he faced in that first fight that result would hve been totaly diffrent :deal

Prime Pac vs prime Morales , who would win? :hey

Do me a favour, dont take the opinion of ONE pacfan and think the ALL PAc fans have the same opinion. Thats just fkn Ignorant or Really butthurt :deal

 

well, if pac was not green and coming up in weight during the first fight... damn enough with the excuses... both fighters are warriors and deserved to be praised.

 

^ You two dummies completly missed the point of what i was trying to say....He came up with that excuse, so i came up with another one to show him how easy it is to come up with excuses. Comprende?

and for the record, i do give credit to Pacman for the Morales wins...Not so much the thrid, but the 2nd one i do.

 

A welterweight vs a featherweight...You tell me who would win.

 

You consider 147 prime pac?
