morales was not shot

everyone knows that wasnt the same casa that night

 

ARRIBA lmao tell it how it is

 

Stupid logicatsch

 

i know that logic has been proven wrong by arriba's comment

 

Kind'a have to agree in that Morales never had any business fighting above 126 pounds IMO. He was small at junior lightweight. But Morales clearly was a shell of himself when he fought Pacquiao the 2nd and 3rd time. Not many fighters have been in as many wars as Morales had been

 

Agreed,and yes he was shot or very close to that in the second fight and still put up a great fight

 

Time is relevant you know......santa curz just beat Casa last year...not even a full year and Castillo almost beat Floyd about 5 yrs ago...maybe 4.....but I see where you were going.

 

He's still shot...it's just a testament to his greatness that he can be shot and be competitive.

Noone is saying he's not a warrior and capable of giving anyone a good fight. We're just all admitting what's basic knowledge at this point...He's past being a shell of his former self. Morales would've killed Diaz in his prime with one hand tied behind his back and one leg lopped off.

 

True Diaz vs prime Erik would last 3-4 rounds cuz he has a great chin!!!!

 

true but it begged the question and considering the resolve and resilience morales has had in his career i think pacman destroying him pretty well sealed his fate, don't you?

 

I didnt' expect to change your mind, but it's good to debat with someone who knows boxing even if we differ in opinions.

If the Raheem fight showed EM had nothing left to give going by his preformance then, Diaz...even as "shitty" as some would like to say the fomer title holder is, EM would have folded and been KO'd by the natrually bigger foe.

Early in the rematch with PAC EM looked very good..he won the 1st 3 rounds. But PAC wasn't loosing compeltely early in the fight, he still hit EM with some good shots but the speed and power definitly began to take a toll....Remember, the first fight EM said Pac's pwer wasn't all that. PAC said it was b/c of the gloves he had, the rematch and the rubber match PAC was able to KO EM using Reyes gloves that he feels he has more power.

Of course it's all speculation that the gloves made the difference, And I don't even know if I buy it, but I just feel EM wasn't SHOT! Just past his best days as an ELITE level fighter.

And I do agree Diaz was never a high level champion....a titlist would be a good description of his short reign as a world champ.

 

Erik beat'em in 2007 at 135,he would destroy him in his prime
