I'd say Shane Mosely also commands universal respect from boxing fans as his skills in the ring are equally matched by his demeanour out of it.
Shane Mosely, was, and is the ****ing man. Willing to take fights, with fighters nobody wanted when he was on top. Have to love that about him. Always wanted to avenge his losses. Really wish there were more fighters like him. Ding gets a lot of respect on the boards here.
Finito got love when he was brought up recently.. I think everyone has a lot of respect and admiration for Meldrick Taylor as well.
:rofl You need to go to some Anger Management classes to deal with your hatred for Hopkins :rofl Everytime I look at a thread when there is ANY WAY you can do it, you are BHOP BASHING...Did he do something to you personally that we should know about?:rofl
To answer the real question... Morales is respected by all because he is a true warrior. When a fighter takes on all challenges, stands toe to toe even when out-gunned, and never backs down, he gains universal respect. Morales is a perfect example of a fighter who NO MATTER WHAT you think otherwise, you must respect him...
