    Addie, we both know that I had Morales a little ahead of MAB before his comback, play fair :D

    That's because the SBW division is pretty thin historically. Besides, MAB beat this supposed 2nd best SBW of all the time in the eyes of the majority. What does that mean?

    I agree with the second sentence.

    Really ?

    You should watch it with the volume turned down, or at least without HBO commentary.

    Thin it may be but its a division that both EM & MAB competed in in their young prime years & Erik built the better legacy there, plus, you have admitted before that that first fight could have gone either way even though you more often than not score it for MAB... & like you said about the EM-Diaz & EM-Maidana fights in the past... he didn`t win it on the official cards & it was too close to say he was robbed.

    :good

    I know you know your boxing my man, but it can swing your opinion in close rounds, I watch all controversial & close fights with no sound to get a fair grasp of what went down. To me personally it does help.

    Here's a somewhat related question:

    What if Morales and Marquez fought? How would that affect either of their careers?

    If it was a razor close fight with no superiority shown I`d say it shouldn`t be a deciding factor of which fighter should rank higher ;)

    Thank you!

    If you're overly influenced by the commentators then it's your eyes that are the problem, not your ears.
