    Curious as to how you see Erik Morales?

    First in the 122lbs category where the majority of his career happened(31W 23KO-0Loss at the 122lbs Junior Featherweight), he got some solid wins against Zaragoza, Junior Jones and of course, marco antonio bareera.

    I guess in the all time rank, he's 2nd behind Wilfredo Gomez. However, im never too easy putting him 2nd and thus putting Jeff Fenech at 3rd in the 122's, but it's not a H2H thing and more overall at the 122lbs.

    One thing im asking myself is how much his win over pacquiao is helping him climbing the ranks. I aint saying he's gonna be a top 100atg, but i do see him being remembered more then most of his contemporaries Juan manuel Marquez and barerra.

    Thoughts on Morales?

    Not sure how he can be justified above MAB at 122, he lost that fight for sure

    All I know is Erik Morales is great and shame on he who attempts to discredit him in that sense.
