    Erik Morales has had a good comeback and I think
    can be successful for a few years, and maybe get a
    title depending on who he fights. Khan is fast and
    young. Thats not my suggestion. Maybe Soto or
    Vazquez. Even for those fights Morales must be
    careful. here are the guys Morales fought since his
    comeback:

    Francisco Lorenzo (35-8-0): Fought some tough opponents. OK
    contender.

    Notable fights:

    Cristobal Cruz W UD 12 & W UD 8
    Humberto Soto W DQ 4 & L UD 12
    Erik Morales L UD 12
    Nate Cambell W SD 12
    Jorge Linares L SD 10

    Willie Limond (33-2-0): Nothing special. Former
    WBC Silver title holder.

    Noteable fights:

    Amir Khan L RTD 8
    Erik Morales L KO 6

    Marco Maidana (29-2-0): Great fast argentina fighter.
    Fought a hard career so far. Former Light Welter
    title holder.

    Notable Fights:
    Erik Morales W MD 12
    Victor Cayo W KO 6
    Amir Khan L UD 12
    Victor Ortiz W TKO 6
    DeMarcus Corley W UD 12

    Jose Alfaro (23-5-0): He has an upcoming bout with
    Humberto Soto.

    Notable Opponents:

    Antonio DeMarco L TKO 10
    Erik Morales L UD 12
    DeMarcus Corley W TKO 8

    Here is an overview of Morale's comeback fights:

    Erik Morales Vs. Jose Alfaro: W UD 12
    Erik Morales Vs. Willie Limond: W KO 6
    Erik Morales Vs. Francisco Lorenzo: W UD 12
    Erik Morales Vs. Marco Maidana: L SD 12
    Erik Morales Vs. Anthony Crolla: TBA UPCOMING

    I don't see him keeping up with Khan. He did good
    with Maidana and I scored it a Draw. But, Khan has
    speed up and has became stronger in which we saw
    in the Zab Judah fight. I see Khan winning 112-116
    estimated. I would hope for Morales though. I think
    if Morales goes for a title he needs to pick the
    right fights. There are many choices for him.

    Opinions on my post?

    Khan could possibly stop Morales at this rate.

    Thing is about Morales, hes the type of guy to fight Wlad if he could. If he has the chance to fight Khan he would probably go for it.

    Fighting the winner of Maidana and Guerrero is more realistic, although I think Guerrero beats Maidana and Morales

    And for the record I think Morales beat Maidana

    I concur, Morales fights who he wants to, whether its Khan, or the fat ***** taking the **** at the Jobcentre.

    WAR Morales!

    Hopefully Morales looks like **** in his next fight, and deters GBP from using him as an opponent for Khan next.

    Morales will do want he wants, whatever he does I support him. I am a fan. I enjoyed the Marco Antonio Barrera Trilogy, and his fights with Carlos Hernandez, Marco Maidana, Manny Pacquiao ( 1 and 2 ), and Eddie Croft.


    I support his choice no matter what.

    morales vs khan will be sad fight to see, I like khan but he shouldnt fight morales, realistically since bradley isnt willing he should fight the guerrero vs maidana winner.

    Exactly, as I said Morales is better at lower weights. Miguel Vazquez or Soto is best choice for Erik.

    As a big fan of both guys, seeing Morales beat up by Khan wouldn't be nice to see. I actually hope he loses his next fight so GBP doesn't consider such a bout.

    Morales could not beat khan, but it would be a good experience fight for Khan and great to have Morales on his record. He already has Barrera there.

    yeah but it means as much as lebedev having roy jones on his resume, beating guerrero when he beats maidana is more impressive than beating a shot morales that had a close fight with maidana.

    This. Morales is a true warrior who would fight anybody, of course not always to his best interest.

    As a fan of Morales, I really wish he would stay retired. For his own health.

    I'm a huge fan of Erik, but come on guys, it's not proper for a legend like himself to be ridiculed in the ring like that.
    Khan will be too fast for the Erik that we saw against Maidana.
