No hate. I just cannot see how Floyd is greater than Morales

    When Morales fought Pac, Pac was only prime in age not skills. The only thing he had was a straight left hand. On top of that, the same Pac made Morales sit down on the canvass and submit. That's not exhibiting greatness at all. I don't knock him for that because he knew he was beat but he could have at least stood up. He quit on his ass.:lol: Then he lost to Raheem and Diaz, fights that he should have won, truly great fighters don't lose fights in their primes that they are supposed to win.

    This post shows how little you know about Morales' career. Morales declined after the first Pacquiao fight.

    But you're saying that Morales is greater than Mayweather and almost as great as Pacquiao. That would make him arguably the greatest fighter of this era. How can that be if he was past it before the age of 30 with only two noteworthy wins(both were against guys who beat him multiple times)? And people were saying that Morales was on the slide before the first Pacquiao fight.

    What has that got to do with what I said? The facts are, that Pac wasn't prime all around and made his ass submit on the canvass, and he lost to two fighters that he should have beat. I know that much.

    You have a hard time explaining that Pacquiao wasn't prime when by far the best win of his career came two years earlier.

    To be fair Morales is far greater than Mayweather.

    Is Morales undefeated and P4P #1 throughout his entire career? Every opponent Morales has ever fought would lose to Floyd! Especially #48

    You seem to a man living in the hypothetical.

    All I know is Morales beat peak Barrera and he beat 26 year old Pacquiao.

    I'm focusing on what Morales did and who he beat and when he beat them.

    Same for Mayweather. His wins over Corrales and Castillo are impressive, but not as impressive as Morales' wins.
