I heard he is coming back to fight. I hope he doesn't but he is going to do what he wants. It came out in a mexican news paper.
I'm not surprised he is. If he faces someone like Barerra than ok. But if he tries to mix it up with the best at 135 than he is gonna get hurt.
I say he fight's Juan Manuel Marquez @ 135Lbs (Should JMM win or lose against Casamayor, EXSP if he wins) The only fight missing. Morales Vs. Marquez and the trilogy would be complete
I think he will still be able to beat many of the B level fighters out there but it is all going to eventually lead to a big fight with a top dog who is going to be bigger, stronger, and fresher, and may seriously hurt him. I have always liked Morales, but this is not good news.
Warfist, B level Diaz beat him. But, i would watch a replay (not paying for this) of Barerra Morales 4
The Diaz outcome is highly debateable IMO, but point taken. That actually makes me think that him coming back is even worse than I previously thought. I would like to see him stay retired and enjoy a healthy retirement. Too many more punches, whether they come from Barrera, Guzman, Valero, etc, are gonna mess with his head. The guy has a HUGE heart and solid chin so any fights against anyone with any pop at all scares me.
I really hope he doesn't come back and its just saying that to upset Barrera. He couldn't get past crappy Diaz and now wants to go back to the big boxing scene. His tank is almost spent.
JMM or MAB will hurt him at this point, he just doesn't have enough left. Mab has also deteriorated but not nearly as much, and JMM is still just a stone killer. I do agree that he deserved the nod against Diaz, but Diaz isn't much.
I agree but you and I know that Morales is far from being his peak. SHould I say he is already shot?! Who ever beats Morales now will not get credit..though of course the name itself morales is always interesting to watch..
A farewell fight I could understand, but he has taken enough punishment. I just wish great warriors like him would stay retired. No one wants to see a great former champ pulling a Holyfield and fighting years past their best fighting C levels fighter and struggling with B level guys that in their prime they would have dismantled
