Erik Morales was PAST HIS PRIME in the FIRST Pacquiao fight and SHOT last night!

exactly. and remember that pac was coming up in weight to 130 for the first time and was forced to wear pillow as gloves by team morales. not mentioning the headbutt he suffered during the fight.

 

Freddie Roach did say that Floyd's legs are shot.

...and one more, it's not PBF anymore, it's $$$.

 

Pacquiao gets credit for "Taking Marquez through hell and back"

What boards do you read?!

I thought most people think he got schooled, and got a dodgy decision

 

Pacquiao only beat Morales, when everyone was

David Diaz, Zaheer Rahman blah blah blah

 

Pacquiao green...........haha

Haven't you maybe taken into account, he hasn't really fought a HOF level opponent since Marquez. And he nearly lost that as well

 

Come on, let's face it. Pac in truth didn't improve since he first fought Barrera! He is still the same one dimensional, no-defense left happy brawler and very easy to hit. He won a trilogy (on pure luck) vs Morales who faded rapidly from a prime to shot fighter in a span of one year and before he even reached 30.atsch

 

There will only be a shot Morales if he continues to live in Tijuana...

 

Guys like Morales even when past prime are better than 99.9% of the guys out there.
Morales deserves more credit for beating Pac than Pac does for beating Morales, but they're still damn good wins for Pacquiao.

Ask yourself, how many SFW's of the last 30 years could do that to Morales?

 

Morales is the ****in man no doubt. Its just Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighter of all time (armstrong level) based on the longevity of his greatness.

 

I couldnt agree more. It was a vicotry that will be given more importance as time passes and if Pac continue his greatness. Pacquaio although was a bit wild was a tornado at the lower weights and Erik beat him clear. I'm now convinced that at 126, Morales was the best out of the four as far as legacy.

 

Whatever makes you sleep better at night. Anyone with a decent pair of eyes can clearly see how much Paquiao improved since the first Morales fight. If you insist Morales was past his prime the first time with Pac, then you need to admit Pacquiao was well BEFORE his prime. The fight itself obviously shows how Pac only threw his typical 1-2 combo throughout the entire fight, emphasizing mainly on his straight left. CLEARLY A HUGE DIFFERENCE compared to Pacquiao from the third fight, and EVERY FIGHT AFTERWARDS.

Prime for prime, Pacquiao destroys Morales regardless of weight class. Too bad so few of Morales' fans accept this truth.

 

no, pacquiao's prime is from 126-140. He was already past it after the cotto fight. Right now he is past his prime but still near it. rjj also was in his prime from 160-175 then the big shoot to heavyweight fcked him up! whats the difference with pacquiao is he and his team handles the increase in weight carefully
