    Just watched 43 duran vs paz and thought duran would absolutely destroy this guy if he was younger.

    In recent fights erik morales got a draw v maidana in my eyes,again el terrible hurts maidana baaaad if he was younger.


    Anymore

    Well it's kind of a silly assumption. Morales in his prime was at Featherweight and was 14 pounds away from light welterweight. A 26-27 year old Morales at 140 would likely be fairly out of shape having to put on the weight (kind of like he is now) with much less experience so you could argue it both ways.

    I understand where you're coming from and would agree with you had he done it at 126 against someone like Soto, but I have a tough time imagining this being the case fighting well above his best weight.
