    I'm taking my hats off and giving tribute to a fighter who never backs down from anybody and gave us a lot of exciting fights.

    Was Fischer also the one who wrote that article about those cocaine rumors about Morales?

    Some fighters are supremely gifted

    Some fighters are supremely entertaining

    ERIK MORALES IS 100% BOTH


    My honest opinion... next to mayweather, morales is the best fighter of the past 10 yrs, only his warriors style shortened his career but NO ONE came out on top vs a prime morales.

    Long live king erik.

    When you think of great fighters you think morales
    when you think of great fights you think of morales

    A true warrior who very rarely even clinched in a fight... macho to the highest level.

    A boxer who NEVER used dirty tactics inside the ring EVEN when he was taking terrible beatings... right until the end.

    A man of MANY classic battles, here`s a few....

    Vs... Barrera 1,2 & 3.
    Pacquiao 1, 2 & 3.
    McCulloch
    Chavez
    Hernandez
    Diaz (as gutted as I was with the verdict)
    Chi
    Espadas
    Zaragoza
    Ayala

    If I had to pick 2 from that list as far a great fights goes... it would be Morales MAB 1 & Morales Pac 1... I thought Erik fought smarter vs pac but I thought the 1st mab fight was the better fight... in fact the most entertaining fight of all time that cemented the legacy of both fighters even at the tender age of 23 & 26 respectively.

    Viva Morales.

    first ballot HOF'r, and earned every bit of it.
    What a "FIGHTER" should be, actually cared to entertain the fans.
