    The last man to beat and school Manny Pacquiao (remember when he went south paw in the 12th, just to **** around with Manny) like I can do this too!

    Although we can all agree that Manny a much different fighter now than he was then still that win looks better and better as Manny continues to take down dudes the size of Clottey and Margarito with relatively no real problem.....


    They only thing that comes to mind when I think about what Manny has done from the De Le Hoya fight on, is how the ****??

    but at the end of the day he has done it with relative ease....but how.....or rather WOW!!!

    Morales has always had my respect. Not just for beating Pac. His whole career.

    Erik Morales demands universal respect and he has it. He's always had it.

    Morales beat Pac in a close fight 115-113, schooled? GTFO

    Also Pac was forced to wear the 10oz gloves because of language confusion/barrier and you can tell the punches doesn't have any effect on Morales. With the 8oz gloves in the 2nd and 3rd fight, Morales was KTFO!

    I will.

    But only when he stops being a miserable ***** and gives some respect to Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Great fighter and one of my faves, love mexican fighters. Shame he came back though. Will cause more harm than good for his legacy.

    Yeah right.

    Morales probably only agreed to go on Marco's ESPN show to get in his digs and try and bait Barrera into a 4th meeting. He got his digs in but was less successful with the other thing.

    The trilogy should remain a trilogy, and the only ones calling for a fourth meeting are bitter Erik Morales fans.

    Those two fights killed me dude, like no ****ing way!! but that right hand of Manny was just developing and Pac was just too much to fast to powerful and Morales was a shell of himself even in their first fight morales was faded

    the gloves did matter though

    They're cordial but they're not friends.

    Did you read that article from the Ring Mag where they asked Morales who were the best fighters he fought in several different categories?

    The guy didnt mentioned Barrera once, still butthurt after all these years.
