    Morales was observably not at his best IMCV. On the night. What a fighter has to overcome in terms of the speed and sharpness of his opponent is everything in terms of the quality of his actual achievement. Not just who his opponent happens to be. Wasn't wowed by Cotto over Mosley or Lewis over Tyson either. Nice enough wins and all but ah.. All the hype around fights like that counteracts general reality.

    I voted ok, because he avenged a loss. However he did so by draining his opponent and also once his opponent was on the decline. The 3rd fight was definitely meaningless. Morales looked like a patient with a terminal illness at the weigh in. All he was missing was Tom Hanks' little beanie from Philadelphia.

    and the thing is maidana was supposed to brutally stop morales who was two divisons up from his last effective weight class and morales is 5 years past when people offically declared him shot after the 3rd morales-pacquiao fight. morales was supposed to get knocked-out like what maidana did to ortiz.


    well corrales was struggling more at 130 then than morales was struggling at 130 when he fought pac. why would it be a good win when you think morales is just an ok win for pacquiao? also morales is by far the greater fighter than corrales will ever be. corrales was stopped by other fighters as well while morales was never stopped by other fighters except from pacquiao.
