Erik Morales lost against every name he fought. He got 1 win against a pre PED Pacquiao and a SD win over Barrera which people thought he lost. People say he could have beat Floyd but could not beat Zahir Raheem after beating the beast of the division Pacman. Raheem boxed him out for 12 rounds straight and you think he could beat the master boxer?:rofl People say he was old against Danny Garcia but he was ****ing 36 years old. We watched a 36 year old Manny comeback and win his title beat a young fast fighter and lose to a 38 year old Mayweather. Are they not old too. Miguel Cotto is 36 still fighting, Mosley was 39 when he arguably made a young Canelo work for his win. Excuses, excuses. Erik is overrated for being a punching bag with a latin last name.
Morales was past his prime in the 1rst Pacquiao fight and still beat Pacman. He was faded when he fought Raheem, he would of schooled Raheem sameway he schooled Floyd in his prime. Morales beat much better fighters than Raheem.
He was 27 years old and shot?!:yep He was only good against journeyman then because that's all he faced before those bouts.
Hernan Marquez is 27 and he was done years ago! Diego Corrales was washed up by 29. By the time Morales got in there with Manny, he had already had 49 fights, a trilogy with Barrera and plenty of wars with lesser fighters. Morales was not shot but he wasm´t at his very best either.
Name all the great fighters that he made look bad and did not turn around and get beat the hell up. He is popular for being able to let Manny KO him back 2 back.:-( He's luck he doesn't have brain damage for letting Danny knock him out the ring in his last fight. Is that what you like?
Morales quite clearly won the second fight with Barerra, imo. Really, the third fight was the only one with a clear victor- and even that was damned close.
to see how great morales was ill give you 2 examples 6/7 years after he fought Pac he fights maidana at this time he was totaly shot yet many thought he won and hurt maidana bad 2 years after he fought maidana he was even more shot and worn out yet garcia could not even stop him in the first fight Garcia waited anther year to finally knock out a dead man
