    Put down the crack pipe PP, nobody gets robbed in a razor close fight & Donaire is a level BELOW both Morales & Barrera.

    I don't think there exists a level above Morales and Barrera. That guy had to be trolling.

    The only part I agree with here is Morales winning the 2nd Barrera fight, that **** was a robbery.

    Donaire being better than Pacquiao from 115-122 doesnt mean he is on Morales level, Erik would have punched the **** out of Pacman at 122 as well.

    If anything Morales is UNDERrated as a boxer because he is always in great fights his technical boxing ability is overlooked, he really is a very complete fighter with the only knock being he doesnt focus enough on defense & is willing to take punches to land his own, even vs ATG fighters like Barrera & Pacman where he should have been boxing from distance using his jab the entire fight.

    Your Morales biggest fan so to be fair, your opinion on him is unobjective, MAB bossed Morales, continually backed him up, hurt him constantly, kept had him going back to the ropes where as Morales

    No it wasn't a robbery, it was 7-5 either way or a draw

    Morales doesn't have much of a defense, that's his weakness and it isn't because he doesn't focus on it. Technically he has good boxing skill but your right he doesn't make use of his, then again Barrera would always get inside him anyway

    Donaire is just better, a special special fighter, his technique is comparable to Sugar Ray Robinson, many can't see it but it'll show in years to come

    Time will tell if your right on Donaire but from what Ive seen thus far he gets beat by Morales at 122.

    I gave Morales 8 rds in the 2nd MAB fight, he definitely won the fight IMO.

    That 1st fight was extremely close, Barrera`s downfall was his workrate because he was content to attack Morales in bursts, effective eye catching bursts I will admit that did damage but then allow himself to be outworked for the majority of the rds, EM threw & LANDED more in the fight & ALWAYS came straight back at Marco whenever Marco landed anything of note, there were times tho were Morales was landing solid shots on MAB & Barrera was being defensive & waiting for the right opportunity but a lot of the time those oportunities never came & those were the rds that Erik bagged.

    For the record I gave Morales rds 3,4,5,6,7,9 & 10 in fight 1... with rds 1,3,4,6,8,9 & 11 being rds that could have gone to either man.
