    pac v morales III, morales was totally shot, he had nothing left to give.

    Morales had to go to war with guys like Injin Chi and Guty Espadas Jr in his prime days, so I don't know why you think Maidana "couldn't hold his jock strap", Morales was not Roy Jones, guys like Maidana would have always dragged him into a protracted war.

    Maidana also isn't C-class, he stopped top 10 Ortiz, got robbed against top 10 Kotelnik, almost knocked Amir Khan out, took Victor Cayo's zero, and is pretty much agreed to be one of the most dangerous fighters out there.

    You don't become "totally shot", then become "not shot" again. If Morales was "totally shot" FIVE YEARS AGO, then what was he last night when he was going to points with a naturally bigger powerpuncher???

    :patsch

    Or could it be that Pacquiao is just a much more relentless, much more deadly finisher than Maidana is? :think

    that too i think if pac was in there last night his legs would of gave up again with the high pace he could see everytime what maidana was going to throw but you cant say that the extra weight hasnt helped him

    Maidana is a C class fighter, he stopped a no heart ortiz, wow so impressive, you do remember before that maidana nearly being stopped himself. He got robbed by kotelnik, i repeat wow so impressive to beat a guy of that stature. You say he almost knocked out glass chin khan and couldn't, wow very impressive ....not.

    Maidana ain't ****, he is a one dimensional boxer, who relies on work rate who has no ****ing skill.

    You idiot, anyone can have a good night, shows us more about maidana than it does morales.

    So i guess if jermaine taylor came back still lost his next fight againt a C level fighter but lasted the twelve rounds he wouldn't be shot.:patsch

    morales was fighting half rounds all night long. This guy is shot to ****. Yes he put a good showing against a C level fighter like maidana, imagine if he was in there with B level fighters like Khan and Bradley. He would have been stopped.

    this, he let maidana tee off on him for half of almost every round, then turned it on. his skill was an a whole other level, but his conditioning wasn't there.

    Maidana isn't C-level though.

    A Maidana-level smw would KTFO Taylor right now. That's the difference - Maidana couldn't KO Morales, nor even beat him down.

    Just Rewatched the PAc vs Morales trilogy...

    I never bought the whole "he was shot" routine, Pac improved from the 6th round onwards of fight 2. He used his right more and went to the body. From then on in, I also thought pac had figured out Morales's attack. Morales missed more and Pac countered with more efficiency.

    In Fight 3, Pac improved again and morales stayed the same. Morales had to retire because Pac was countering him all night and felt no point in fighting when your gna get kayoed.

    Better man won on the night, no excuses.

    All you are showing is maidana C class level by stating these facts. His last 3 fights show a familiar pattern.

    Maidana couldn't KO a shot Morales.

    Maidana couldn't KO a glass chinned khan.

    Maidana couldn't KO a shot Demarcus Corley.

    Yet you say this guy is above a C class fighter, when all he relies on is his power and has no skill.

    Cool story.
