Morales vs Pacquiao 1. Was that Morales at his peak or 80%?

In the 2nd and 3rd fight, Pac showed what happens if he is adjusted to the weight and if he doesn't get cut above the eye by a headbutt.

like I said at the end of the day Pac beat him twice and lost once... You can find reasons to explain any result.

 

please man I see people always saying how Floyd was the smaller man moving up in weight in those fights and yet I don't see them saying any of that **** when it comes to Pac against Morales. Just another case of the double standards on ESB.

an excuse is an excuse. If you think Morales was past it, that's fine. It's ****in rare for a boxer to be shot at 29 but it happens. But don't come tell me it doesn't matter that Pac was fighting for the first time ever at 130. And don't come tell me it doesn't matter he looked like this from the 5th round on.

People can say it doesn't matter that Pac wasn't allowed to wear Reyes gloves, I'm cool with that. They can say it doesn't matter that Pac had to give blood before the fight, that's probably true...

But moving up to a new weight class and a cut above the eye... Those are serious disadvantages. Anyone who boxes would tell you that. And Pac only lost by 2 points, 4 if you're being generous to Morales.

 

I would say 79.0005 %, give or take .00000613%.

Pac would probably be 68.0265478%

 

5 fight losing streak? Let me see...1 against Raheem, a guy who runs like a rabbit all night long - more of a stylistic matchup problem rather than Morales being a shot fighter, 2 against Pacquiao, the guy who has been dominating WW today.. 1 against Barrera, a fight that was very close and could have gone either way., and 1 against Diaz, a fight at 135 that many thought Morales won.

He semi-retired because there is somebody whom totally doinated him. It happens all the time to fighters. They either retire or move up when there is another fighter in their division they can not beat. But that hardly is a fool proof evidence that he is past prime.

 

I think Morales was at 110% against Pacquiao thumbsup

 

Morales was prime in the 3rd fight
