    Fantastic article, I agree word for word, in fact I have been saying this for years about Morales.

    This is actually the 2nd time Ive read this article, Ted Spoon PMd me the exact same one a week or 2 ago as he knew I liked Morales.

    Very good & accurate description of Morales career IMO.

    I disagree with him when he says the rubber match should have been a draw, but everything else is spot on. Awesome fighter.

    Biased article.

    Although I do agree, out of the 4 Morales would stand the best chance of beating Gomez stylistic wise.

    What part of the article makes you think it's biased, Boom_boom?

    Called Morales the best of the bunch.

    Now im not claiming that a certain fighter is clearly the best of the bunch, I just dont think its clear as of now who is the best of the era was.

    Right now with Mab and EM, I rate them exactly next to each other, if I were to make an ATG list. Barring Barrera doesnt accomplish anything huge in his comeback.

    I'm of the opinion that Barrera and Morales should be right next to one another on a P4P top 100 list, possibly somewhere between 75-100.

    But the question is, who is on top of the other?

    I think it's academic either way, they should not be separated. Morales fan will say well Erik beat Junior Jones and Pacquiao, but he ultimately went 2-1 down against Barrera, who may well capture a 4th title at Lightweight. If Barrera achieves that, he should be on top, but if not, I'm not to bothered.

    Barrera may be 2-1 against Morales, but just like what I have said before, EM was a one hell of a warrior. I fear him more than MAB bro

    I'm more liable to get completely outboxed by Barrera and humilated than if I was to fight Morales, who would just man-handle me for 2 rounds before I start to snooze. I would rather fight Erik.

    I rate Morales higher than MAB because of the way they went out against Pac. One went out with fear while the other one gave it his all and went out on his shield.
    If you go by career. They are pretty even. Its just Morales had that killer attitude.

    One question for you all.

    Who do you see as being the next Morales?

    I think Vasquez-Marquez are the EM-MAB except for the attitudes. Both EM and MAB had charisma.
