What do you think were his best tools/skills as a fighter. I find it hard to say since he was good in about everything but what made him reach that level?
yeah, he had a varied attack. Very strong with each punch, but not great with any particular one. I think his uppercut was his best punch, however.
More talking about boxing abilities. He had a lot of hearth for sure and that helps a lot as a boxer but you can't reach ATG status with a lion's hearth only. Gatti, Ward and many others had so much hearth but not equivalent boxing skills to go with it. So what i mean his what boxing abilities (power, speed, defense, footwork or chin obviously in Morales' case) made him succeed so much in the sport.
id like to throw out there his underrated footwork, he kept his opponent in his attacking range, never missed wildly (except against raheem), and he never smothered his punches. Great range.
He had a great heart, but I think the fact that he was never a boxer whom you could say 'watch his left hook or right hand' helped him a lot cause his opponents wouldn't know exactly what to expect. He could hit you with anything and he had great speed and power in both hands. Great warrior indeed
He looked like **** against Raheem. Raheem had alot to do with it but so did his pudgy body he came into the ring with...
