    No featherweight will be able to stand up to a Corrales left hook. I dont care how great Morales chin was there is no way he can take Chico's power punches.

    I couldnt make my mind up so I voted for Morales because I liked him better & I always like to pick someone.

    On one hand, Corrales was much bigger & hit harder but but had a dodgy chin & struggled with the weight at 130... on the other hand, Morales was the better boxer, quicker, better chin & seemed fine at 130.

    I dont see even Corrales KOing Morales but he might decision him & I dont see EM KOing Diego either, if EM brawls, he takes too much punishment & becomes less effective as the fight goes on & loses on pts but if he boxes, using those great feet of his then he can win on pts, either way it would be close. As long as EM boxes he has a great chance but Corrales might be favourite in this one.

    I also believe Chico hit harder than Pac. Chico would probably have to come off the canvas but Morales will take a beating towards the end.

    Chico by UD.

    your a bias ass stuip mexican nuthugger. **** im part mexican but who the **** did morales fight at 130 that could hit like chico . IMHO i'll put this out there Angel manfreddy pwould beat morales at 130.

    chico shatters his chin yeah he had a good beard but it won't hold up for too long i said 9 because i got respect for morales but **** really he'd be lucy to make it to 6 . he like to trade too much for his own good:good

    What about Chicos chin. He didnt really have great legs underneath him.
    I think Morales drops him a few times on his way to a UD. Too much skill for Corrales. You guys forget that Morales could box very well while Chico mostly relied on his power. Morales power was also pretty good.

    i think erik wins a decision. erik did well against pac and pacs punches are harder to avoid than chico's. sure chico was a harder puncher than pac but he was also slower. if erik chooses to exchange too often then i give chico an even chance of winning.

    not at 130 his power was not really there

    and as far as boxing skills morales was not on PBF, or casa level plus he go to much pride not to satnd and trade when he gets hit
