if he had took proper care of himself outside the ring? This means not being an alcoholic and Ricky Hattoning it up in between fights. Saturday's fight had me thinking.:think:think
He was in a number of wars that clearly served to shorten his prime. His life outside the ring cannot be totally attributed to have shortened his prime, which lasted for a while anyway.
The appropriate question should be, how long would Erik Morales' prime have lasted had he not ran into Marco Antonio Barrera on three seperate occasions?
it was well-know within tijuana that morales was a partier. dont know about the booze but he did a lot of coke. one of his gf's wwho alledgedly bore his child eventually became a puta at adelita's, a famous whorehouse in tj. i believe that he went into rehab after the second pac fight. incredible win saturday night against cano, a strong kid who came to fight but did not have the extra gear. that being said, i see morales on his last legs and will probably suffer major damage against mathysee, maidana, bradley or alexander. his skin is all but gone and susceptible to cuts.
