    Let's not get crazy again, making up a story and repeating it over and over with other haters doesn't make it true. I love Morales he Is probably the first fighter that really got me hooked on the sport. Any version of floyd beats EVERY version of Morales. Completely different class of fighter I'm afraid.

    Floyd was also born in the gym, you really think the key to beating him is feints?!!! Get a new hobby!!

    What year would this have taken place? It's strange to think that Erik Morales is only a year older than Floyd. I was thinking maybe a veteren Erik schooled a young Floyd. Due to Erik peaking so early, I associate them with two different generations.

    Was Mayweather 37 years old when he sparred Morales?

    was morales shot to **** (like when he fought maidana) no he was a prime when he sparred mayweather you doubting such a legend could not get one over on mayweather when fighters like maidana have had some success is funny

    :patsch

    Morales would have been great fight,i don't deny that.

    You should compare prime Floyd against prime Morales.you can't handpick always this old version of him.and if you do,of course the answer is easy.

    if we judge every fighter like Floyd,then Holmes showed how overrated Ali was.and now of course you and everybody else will say i'm wrong.Ali was way past his prime.maybe you should try that with Floyd someday.

    Or can i flip flop and say.after seeing Morales get beaten by Danny Garcia it's easy to say prime Floyd would easily beat Morales?

    (time of the Garcia fights,Morales was 1year younger than Floyd was in Maidana fights)

    In their primes this would have been amazing fight.and could go either way

    We're at an impasse.

    If this is true Morales would be more vocal about it.

    Who knows? I'll stick to what I always say. What happens in sparring stays in sparring, it's irrelevant. Plus, I don't think Floyd would fight someone he's sparred because they already have experience with him.

    You mean wouldn't? I wouldn't be surprised either. Floyd isn't invincible.
