Erik Morales is far overrated.

    PAC wasn't even prime when he lost Morales. PAC fought Barrera, Marquez, and Morales when he was green. I still to this day can't believe PAC fight Barrera, Marquez, and Morales pretty much back to back.

    Don't you dare. Don't even try it. Pacquiao was in his prime when he lost to Morales.

    Erik is the only man to defeat prime Pacqiuiao. The guy is an absolute legend of boxing.

    Morales is not over rated, all this "prime" and "green" talk is just misused.

    Lord have mercy :lol:

    :lol: PAC was prime :patsch. A right, right, straight left PAC was prime :patsch. All PAC had was youth, speed, power. If PAC had the skills he has right now at 122,126 it's not even a close fight, PAC would run Barrera and Morales over easily...Marquez may be a different story as he's a great counter puncher.

    C'mon man, Morales fought EVERYONE and usually won. He had some holes defensively yeah but he was really pleasing to watch and gave us some great wars.

    :good

    Also add in these opponents:

    Jose Valdez was the equivalent of Emanuel Augustus, tricky fighter, good skills, hard to look great against.

    John Lowey, Former IBO super bantamweight champion... only loss, at that time, was to Kennedy McKinney

    Wayne McCullough "Pocket Rocket" owns victories over Johnny Bredahl, Yasuie Yakushiji (one of Japan's greatest bantamweights; linked in with Kameda, Soda???, Tatsuyoshi, Yamanaka, Harada).

    don't hate him because some extremists say he could of beaten Floyd, that's just silly,

    regardless, Erik was one of my favorite fighters ever, he was a power pack when he was young, he started very young and that's when he was at his best.

    Who cares about his latin last name? Obviously you do, he was a dynamo in the ring no matter what his name was.

    One of the few small guys that got me interested in the small guys :good

    Every fighter improves their skill as they gain experience. Pacquiao also never became a great technical fighter ever.

    Pacquiao's stamina, power and speed right now is complete dog **** compared to what it was at 122-130.
