Erik gives his opinion on a potential matchup between Israel Vasquez and Jorge Arce. Erik also reiterates his intention to return to the ring in 2009. http://www.***********.com/?m=show&id=16282
Erik said............."My plans have not changed. I expect to return to the ring in search of the lightweight world title."
Erik Morales is shot so he should stay retired and enjoy himslef, he has nothing to gain from returning to the ring. Barrera is a shadow of his former self but he is still a decent fighter who could win a world title.
Aww ****. I was thinking he was doing a good job of staying retired unlike a lot of fighters who always have to go back. No way he beats JMM these days. And I think he would have had a great shot to do it prime vs prime. But it will only hurt his legacy. Its a shame he didnt get the Diaz win because I think he really wants that 4rth title for his legacy. But he needs to retire and not get himself hurt. He has made alot more money than most guys at the lower weights and should fine other things to do. JMM just stopped Casamayor, he would KO morales as well at this point. Morales lost his last 4 fights in a row and hasnt had a win since 2005, he needs to stay retired.
Erik vs Khan seriously Morrales dont look like he can return he was as big as Margarito the last pic i saw of him
He can return to the ring as Pac's supporter in the dela Hoya fight on Dec. 6. No problem w/ that. But fighting? No.
