werent they great friends. heard somewhere they both watched pacquiao fights together before morales fought him
I never heard that so I dont know for sure, but its very possible. I think too many people think morales is an ******* over the barrera stuff but he was good friends with Pac after their fights and you have to be a secure/confident and humble person to be friends with someone after they kick your ass.
He deserves to reach highrer, what a darn good fighter he is! Its a shame his management fukked up part of his career. Also him not getting atleast 1 win against pac!
cant remember where i heard it. i heard morales puts loads of money into his community and provided clean running water. he also donates his salary by putting it back into his community:good
He's significantly behind the other two. Morales and Barrera are no-brainer ATGs. Marquez is a fringe hall of famer. Just my opinion anyway. Had he beaten Pac and John, he might be in the same vicinity, but he didn't officially beat them, and I didn't think he beat them either.
JMM avoided Hamed when he was hamed's challenger , Barerra beat hamed. i think it means something. also : if you are going to say JMM got the better outcomes against pacquiao , think again and then remember JMM was knocked down 3 times in the first round of their first fight. what does this mean ? a stoppage loss to some. remider : 3 knockdown rule. not always it is in effect , but had it been , you know what would have happened. Morales stopped Junior Jones who stopped Barerra once (ended by DQ b/c of barerra's corner cheating and entering the ring) and beat him the other time. morales was also destroyed by pacquiao twice , narrowly outpointing him in their first encounter. so , i'd say : 1. Pac 2. Morales 3. Barerra 4. JMM
I agree with this part! I like JMM, and think highly of him and appreciate what he has brought to boxing! But I rate EM and MAB well ahead of him. I generally don't rate guys that are still active, but don't see anyway JMM will be remembered as highly as the Barrera or Morales..IMO
Yeah in some article I read since he retired it said he worked managing the city recreation department and donated back his salary.
He has had a very good career and i would not rule him out of having another big win before he is done.I dont see him overtaking Barrera or Morales though.
