In hindsight.... Morales vs Pacquaio 1.

:deal Yea I agree also. JMM lived his best years behind Barrera's and Morales's shadows, but he was always their equal. 122-130 JMM was a beast. He reminded me of a bigger version of Finito Lopez, but Lopez still had a more refined offense and better boxing overall than JMM. Lopez is the prototype of all of Beristein's fighters. Zaragosa not far behind.

 

most underrated trilogy

 

I thought Pac won that fight.

 

Wrong.

 

If Morales stock goes up then so should Torrecampo's and Singsurat's wins over Pacquiao.

 

Pac/EM 1&2 will always be my favorite Pac fight.

 

Torrecampo is an underrated Ring IQ genius. This guy could hit you with a vicious groin shot and make your head bounce off the canvas so hard you can't collect yourself enough to make the count in any shape to continue.

 

don't understand spanish but they seem more than just civil to each other. have they settled their differences? it always strikes me odd when to classy gentleman fighters can't get along and take things personal. both fighters are the epitome of class and other opponents seem to have nothing but nice words for them. reminds me of mosley and forrest. both fighters seem to just be class, and yet even after their two fights you can still hear mosley or forrest talk less than favorable of each other.

 

Hey that's a great comparison. Duran went on to slaughter De Jesus in the rematches as well.

 

not much drama in the last 2 fights.

 

Or his SRR v Duran. IMO Pacs success is a testament to how great that featherweight era was

 

Raheem was the straw that broke Morales's back...
