Probably beat them all. I reserve my judgement on Bautista. He's still young & might show his Greatness in the future, starting this Saturday.
I think Rafael Marquez, and even Israel Vasquez have a shot in beating this version of EM. Remember, Marquez is not just a heavy hitter, he complements it with his boxing skills. I don't see any reason why we would be beaten easily by EM. His chin maybe suspect, but his skills and power can match EM, prime for prime. Anyway, aside from Zaragosa and MAB, who else did EM beat there?
He ****ing beats all their ass and that is no lie...Morales was too smart in the ring..Get you from weird angles and shots and he definitely had deceiving power! Viva Morales!
eric's chin at that weight was nothing short of extraordinary so i think punchers like most of those mentioned don't stand a chance
erik morales was more or less the oscar delahoya of that weight.. he was huuuge...fought like a monster .. you couldnt hurt him .. he could ko you with either hand if it presented itself.. guy was crazy at that weight.. didnt he go undeafeated there? and then lost once he moved up?
Just to think how bad Morales would have Raped Pacquiao at 122..It would have been a disaster for Pacquiao honestly.
I know the first fight with MAB coulda gone either way...But Morales definitely won that 2nd fight...Imagine if Morales won 2-0 on him and the Trilogy never happened...He would have aged a bit slower - probably still be ticking today...That trilogy pissed Morales off.
sure, it took a lot out of him physically but morales without the mab trilogy would not be as highly respected as the morales today, same is true with mab
