Who says dashing, gallant heroes are a thing of the past, or perhaps never were? Viciously seizing glory in the ring, graciously raising his conquerors hand in his own twilight, Erik El Terrible Morales looked and lived the part of that vanishing specimen, the honorable gladiator.

Boxing inspires the best in a young boy: to transcend your humble origins, to develop into the guy who saves the day, to win glory but only with honor, to buy your mother a house, and inspire the children to call out your name.

He became a frightful attack machine, defeating opponent after opponent. He stopped the unstopped champion, and beat the best men of his era. In boxing, you conquer yourself and you must conquer another, equally-hungry mans will. El Terrible knew what it took and thrilled audiences while overcoming rivals with his technical, fierce craft. Never satisfied, he always looked to the next summit, claiming three different belts in three different weight classes.

Perhaps defeat shows more of a man than constant victory, and when time caught up with El Terrible, he was promptly courteous and respectful in acknowledging his opponent and his own shortcoming. Never a showboat, never an ego trip, the man quietly went about his business, and demonstrated what dashing, gallant heroes are truly all about.

All this I see in the serene look of the winner that is Erik Morales.
