Anyone who picks someone who's been out of the ring for years and was sparkled in his last fight must know something the rest of us don't.
Yeah, but based on Ricky's ballooning up to 200 lbs, his history of alcohol and drug abuse and ring rust would certainly tip Morales in this one. Morales is at about 70% of his once dominant self. and a 90% Morales is <100% Hatton. We know Ricky was only a shell of himself when Floyd got him, so he was probably 80% in that fight. My guess is he's probably about 50% of what he was after he outlasted Kostya Tszyu, so I don't see him beating Morales.:think
That's some scientific **** right there. What would happen if Leonard rematched Hagler,using that formula?
Even at light welterweight? A prime Ricky Vs a prime Morales just doesn't work. Morales was best at super bantamweight, a whole 20 pounds (give or take) below Ricky. If where talking the best Morales has ever been at say lightweight and bulled up to 140 I still think Ricky would have to much. However there is no question who the greater fighter is
Hatton imo. I think he will suprise a few with the comeback. Not a world beater but I think he could beat the long shot Erik Morales.
the time off kept Hatton fresh who isnt all that old, Morales to me looked done in the Cano fight and i knew Garcia would beat him Hatton unless done would be bigger and stronger and push the fight and i dont think Morales can handle a big guy fighting a physical fast pace fight if Hatton is way out of form expect Morales to have target practice
