    Morales looked so much slower than the fighter I used to know. His snap in his punches was gone. His workrate was vastly diminished and he completely faded in the second half of the fight.

    This to me confirms that Pac was able to beat Morales the second time because Morales had lost his stamina and sharpness and Pac was able to take advantage.

    Shot is a too strong word but Morales has been fading fast probably since the third Barrera fight. His first win against Pacman was his last roll of the dice despite being a little faded. A year later against Raheem and in the Pacman rematch his legs and sharpness were diminished.

    I had Morales beating Diaz by a round but in his prime he would have won every round against this C Class paper champ thats so easy to hit.

    I think pac has a lot to do with the reason morales is now shot

    PAC definitely beat a Morales on the slide but he did the only thing he could do and he beat him twice brutally.

    well, this "shot" morales should've won this fight and become a 4-division champ. it's those damn judges that should be shot.

    Morales was on the slide before the first Pac fight. A bit like Jones and Tarver.

    He couldnt clip his wings in Fight 1. But Morales wings were clipped against Raheem before Pac2! He'd visibly lost something. How exactly did Pac take away Morales handspeed and stamina? :huh

    even when erik won the first fight w/ pac, he was never the same after that. erik made the mistake of going southpaw and trading w/ pac in that fateful 12th round where erik was visibly hurt, staggered and almost kd'd. erik probably absorbed too many powerful pac straight lefts to the head and body in that winning effort, particularly in the 12th and that told in his latter fights. i guess raheem was just the beneficiary of this.

    The last time the "real" Morales showed up was the first Pacquaio fight. That was his last hurrah as an elite fighter

    It only confirms how Powerful Pac is!! Morales retired with only Pac was able to Knockdown & stopped him.
