    If it's the sparring you askin about, it happened in a TR gym. It got so bad they had to stop the sparring, but it was Floyd that asked to spar with him, sayin he had a style that was unbeatable, Erik said b.s. Erik handled him with feints. They were both prime, not like the faded Morales that couldn't handle Raheem. They remained friends after this, there's 2 youtube videos where in one Morales mentions it and just laughs, but says nothin disrespectful about Floyd, and another Floyd said they were sparring partners. Morales trained under Sr for a short while, he matched Erik with Floyd.

    Yep. Both Morales and MAB are top 50 p4p fighters all time. Corrales is a very, very good fighter, but facing all time greats is quite a step up from Corrales.

    It's just a different league.

    You talking about the past-prime Morales who was six months removed from beating Manny Pacquiao?

    And it's 2015, not 2003, we have hindsight to see he was an ATG.:patsch That's the point. We're not comparing the wins in 2003, we're comparing them in 2015.

    You really think the 2008 fight between two old men was the more meaningful than the 1993 Roy-Hop fight :lol:

    That's hilarious.

    you just said "why was Mab not an ATG in 2003"? how about because he still fought for 6 more years..lol who knows what could have happened if history had rewriten itself..now youre saying were taliking about 2015... was he an atg in 2003 or 2015? which one is it? lol

    and i never said the 2008 fight was a better win... thats just what i hear when debating the 2.... I just think if the roles were reversed and pac beat Corrales and floyd beat barerra i think you guys would say corrales was the better win..lol

    I wouldn't a 126 pound Barrera was outperforming Corrales at his peak. Corrales wasn't built to last with that style.

    Wow to the 8 *****s who voted for Corrales. No matter how much you admire Floyd Sr. you should not smoke crack.

    Nope, 1999-2000 when Erik was 122 champ and Floyd 130 champ.

    Okay, just checking. I needed to make sure that guy who got washed by Zahir Raheem because he was past-prime but had just beaten Manny Pacquiao wasn't who we were talking about.

    Oh my god:patsch

    If we call someone an ATG in hindsight, then they where an ATG during their career. They just proved it throughout the course of their career.

    MAB was an ATG in 2003- whether we knew it at the time or not, and we can look back now in 2015 and say he was. What about that is hard to understand?

    MAB was in his prime in 2003.
