Erik Morales is a beast

Yes he is.

 

It was a good win but lets not go overboard here,the Pac he beat wasnt close to the Pac you see today.

 

Rustico Torrecampo is the mother of all beasts

 

Hey Cmon... Hes the next Pacquiao.

 

Is that motherf*cker dead or in jail still? He should mount a comeback.

 

also true but that wasnt the best morales in there either

 

Probably but The Pac we see now is better than any version of Morales in my view.

 

compare the manny torrecampo beat to the manny morales beat,
who is closest to todays manny? pretty obvious

 

pretty much, the pac from today is bigger and has more skills

 

After seeing Cotto lose all composure after going down I personaly have the greatest admiration for what Marquez did in the first fight with Manny, down 3 times in the 1st broken nose and all he fights back and gets a draw. I see that in a totaly different light now.

 

I would still say a Morales-Pac fight prime for prime would be a pick them fight. I know all the prime stuff is impossible because they peaked at different weights.
I used to say prime for prime Morales beats Pac 9 times out of 10.
However now i think it would go something like 5-5 or 6-4 to one of them.
The thing Morales did right was using that jab to keep Pac at bay and when needed he would stand and trade with him and actually take the punishment. something Cotto could not do.
After the 1st round i was sure Cotto was gonna win. He was boxing beautifully using his jab then the 2nd round Pac took which was ok and the 3rd Cotto was dominating the round but got careless. Same with the 4th round.
The thing is Cotto traded too much and he did not have the chin to do it. Had he boxed like he did the 1st round the whole fight i think he would have won a close fight.

 

I think that loss to Morales is what brought out the Moster in Pac, After that he realized he had to go balls to the wall when he trains for a fight!
