Victor Conte from BALCO labs never would've let Morales get to a fight in that weak, soft, tired condition. Erik was a great fighter, but his pharmacist sucks!!
I believe he is going to be in some solid wars in the future, he's not garbage. He has intangibles that will allow him to stay in there with more athletic and or speedy fighters. He can adjust, time and doesn't seem to get frustrated and quit on himself. Of course not all of his fights will end via his left hook, but given the fact that he mentally seems to be very strong within the ropes, he should be able to compete with quicker and slicker fighters then him for a few more years to come at least, giving the fans great fights in the process. He may look a bit slow and awkward and in turn it makes him look a bit lacking of skill, but his best skills are all the intangibles that will keep him in fights, and he has a good shot of winning a lot of them because of it. Is he going to be the GOAT? No. But then again how often does that fighter come along?
