The more I look at Morales' resmue the more impressive it gets, maybe top 30 ever

His resume is underrated by a lot of people. I've read some posts saying he is not a future Hall of Famer. Morales was a GREAT fighter and a legend of the sport.

 

Yep.....also the losses against Pac were WELL past his prime.

 

morales is a certified HOFer and ATG. he's one of the five greatest mexican fighters of all time.

 

Some people here have a misconception of when MAB's and Morales' primes were. So they count some things against them that they shouldn't....they never saw them at 122.

 

I have him #46 on my list.

 

hmm... some people never saw pac at his best at 122 either. does that mean when they fought each other at 126 and 130, they all weren't in their primes anymore?

 

MORALES IS AN ATG AND A GUARANTEED HOFER. He never ran, he never hid, he went to war, and won a hell of a lot more then he lost.

 

They were not at their prime weights...as I have always said Pacquiao's best weight is at 122 and that he has since slowed down and has less power.

And I have ALWAYS said that MAB and Morales were not prime when they fought Pacquiao. MAB was still an elite level fighter when he lost, but he wasn't in his prime IMO. I don't think he was prime when he beat Hamed and have said as much BEFORE Pacquiao was even in the picture. This has nothing to do with Pacquiao, he has enough threads about him. I am saying that the 122 division, like alot of small weight classes, was ignored and many people didn't see them fight at their prime weights.

 

Morales was indeed great but if PAC beat JMM...Hed surpass Morales as well in the ATG list...

PAC was also a beast at 122. Every fight was a total destruction of opposition.

Right now though. I still have Erik ahead, just for beating JJ..its his wild card

 

His win over Pac really stamped his greatness. He was my favorite from Barrera and JMM.

 

with erik being one of my all time fav's, i kinda want pac to beat all his opponents from here on out then retire. just to make erik's win over him all the more impressive.:yep

 

Erik Morales was ****ing unbelievable and he was robbed against Diaz. He is a 4 division champ in my books and should be in everyones books. He is an absolute legend. And what makes him special is that not only was he successful in the ring but he never stunk out ANY fights. Every fight was a war but yet fought with such skill and talent. ****ing Erik Morales for life!!!! ATG!!! There are certain fighters that I wish that we could just clone just so we could see them fight in every single boxing generation, Erik Morales is that type of fighter, I wish he could put on shows forever straight up.
