    El Terrible is my all time favourite boxer but when I hear people say Pacquiao isn't an ATG and he beat Erik twice I'd be interested to hear what people have to say abot Morales.

    Don't worry about Pacquiao comments when you consider Morales.

    Both are all-time greats- each in their particular prime / time.

    Morales is my favorite all-time Mexican fighter followed closely by Michael Carbajal.

    I have been following boxing since the early 70s. You picked a truly great one to admire.

    He also proves to be a good human and citizen if you look up what he does today to give back to his community and fans.

    It's the flowmos who try to underrate morales and other mexicans pac has faced in order to downplay the achievements of pac. I've seen flowmos in facebook commenting morales is a ******* bum it made me cringe.

    Morales was a sensation in his time along with barrera and was the epitome of mexican style warrior.

    Easily an ATG!

    It's not up for question.

    Erik Morales has to be an ATG really.

    His ledger is seriously solid and he's very probably a consensus All Time Top-3 Super Bantamweight.
    He has a 'W' against arguably another All Time Top-3 SBW.
    He's a legitimate 3-Division World Champion, although is technically a 4-Division Champ.
    Moreover, I believe he is the only Boxer to have clearly beaten a 'Prime' Pacquiao.

    I have him after Sanchez, Chavez, and ahead of Barrera, Marquez.

    A top 100 ATG sure but he's not an elite ATG.

    Morales is easily an ATG HOF'er.

    Of course he's an ATG..


    Which makes his beating vs Garcia even more spectacular.
