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

everyone has a different prime at different weights.

they were both campaigning at different weights and aren't the same age.

 

actually, yes. Pac was still pretty raw when he fought Morales the first time. Just because he was rolling over guys doesnt make that any less true. He had a ton of talent and physical ability, which was enough to destroy most of the top guys ... but it wasn't enough to beat a pretty crafty and skilled boxer like Morales. Once Pac started using his right hand and patching up some of the other holes in his skillset, it made the fights look a lot different. And yeah, Morales was definitely not at his best when he fought Pac ,and he got worse the two subsequent fights ... but it's undeniable that Pac got better as well.

 

That was erik morales at 122. Why don't you show the barrera fight soon after, which he lost and didn't look as awesome as he did there? Don't you think it's fairer to judge Erik at his best again the best? Junior Jones was no elite fighter and was knocked out the fight before. Hell even the McCullough fight would be a better gauge of his ability than that.

Anyway, why do ****ing idiots feel it necessary to try and degrade Pac's achievements from years ago like he ****ed their mum or something? Let it go. It could be quite easy to take away from Morales victory over Pac, that clearly wasn't him at his best, but you don't see Pac fans making threads to discredit Morales, do you?
