I don't think Mayweather can knock out Morales at 130. Seriously. It might be a UD, but no way he would deck that kind of chin.
hmm. didn't morales knock out guty espadas at 130. he was not feather fisted definitely but by 2003, EM had been fighting professionaly for 10 years. too many ring wars. so, confirm it. did morales ko espadas? mab, pac, injin chi.
Yea Morales Koed Guty.. it took him 15 rounds. besides that he didn't knock out anyone of real note above 122.
Yeah, he got by on being an amazing technical fighter. However you arent gonna out technique Mayweather at his prime weight class. Maybe if he caught Floyd when he was still raw, but the Floyd that fought Corrales was at the special level.
More importantly how was Morales' chin compared to Chico's? Chico just couldnt get off that night at all against PBF, he just ate shot after shot. When Morales' gets tagged he is going to be countering so PBF isn't going to be landing unanswered combinations at will the way he did with Chico. Plus you have to remember that Chico had those legal problems leading up to the fight and was not 100% in the fight mentally.
But you have to understand that Morales would look competitive only if Floyd lets him be. If Floyd decides to go for the KO the fight doesnt go 12. If Floyd is content to box his way to a decision, then Morales can give a good account for himself and not be embarrassed. If Floyd fights aggressively, forget it.
