    morales said that he wanted a fight at 135 and barrios will probably move up also, what do you think about this match- up?

    Looks like we would be in for another great fight. Both of these guys know how to put on a great show. Barrios is a warrior, but vulnerable enough himself for a slipping Morales to have his opportunities. Morales being on the slide will add the element of danger for Morales possibly being overwhelmed as well.

    what about holmes vs foreman..to settle the score on who is the better fighter...

    i think that morales is done, he do not have the reflexes nor the heart to be atleast acontender again..

    as for barrios, i loss a lot when a bet for him the last him i fought. i never thought a featherweight could beat him. who knows, morales may be too big for barrios

    I'll be rooting for Morales if he fights again. (My first vcash bet was Morales-Diaz, EM win, all in)

    But personally, I think he should just try to have 1 or 2 easy, farewell fights before retiring.

    Not a good idea for a first comeback fight in my opinion...

    Barrios might not be anything special but at this stage in Morales' career it might be a horrible match up.
