    and you did not realized that the one you quoted also made an excuse because the one he quoted made an excuse for morales first.

    As far as his skills go, i would say he is at his best right now...He may not have the physical advantages he did when he was in the lower weights, but he definetly is more skilled now, wouldn't you agree?

    You are right, but everyone is making excuses so might as well join in. But i do find it funny how some of the Pac fans (not you, but certain ones) attack Morales for the excuse, but defend Manny for his excuses in the first Morales fight. Double standards. And i dont agree with Morales about the weight in the third fight...Dude was gonna lose no matter what, he was done by the time of the 3rd fight...dont you agree?

    maybe, I think he belongs at 140, he looked really fast and strong vs hatton and it seems the guys there are more his natural size, its sometimes difficult to point out the prime of a guy who climbs the divisions.

    absolutely. the third fight should not have happened and we all know that morales was done. but the warrior in him didn't stop morales for demanding a third fight. remember that team morales has the option's for the rematch in a 3-fight deal and it was a gutsy decision for him even though he was stopped in the second fight.

    You may be right, 140lbs maybe his best weight, but IMO his greatest performance was against Cotto at Welter, but i wont argue with anyone saying 140 is his best weight. :thumbsup

    Pac won the first fight 7-5 despite the gloves, socks, blood etc.
    What a disgrace for boxing.

    Your nuthugging is making you blind, look at you post that I highlighted, you said that morales was past it already b4 the 1st match :hi: Thats not giving credit.

    Of course the Prime for Prime was not a question of weight , More of a question or Prime for prime skill :good
    Dont assume Im as stupid as your dumb ass :patsch

    and manny was on his third fight at 126 lbs when he suddenly jumped to 130lbs to fight morales. looking back, pac was too small for the first morales fight. compare that to the second fight where his body is already full
