    Morales was not even 1/2 the fighter he was in his prime at 122 lbs. How the hell would he be prime/elite at 135lbs after all those ****ing years of fighting wars?

    You people are out of your minds.

    How the hell would Pac be prime/elite at 147 after all those ****ing years of fighting wars at 112, 122, 126, and 130?

    gotta be the PEDs right?

    Compare the two athletes. Morales blew up in weight and weight drained down to his fighting weights EVERY single time. Make a list of fighters who are gym rats and realize their longevity/primes are 5x longer than the primes of those fighters who blow up in weight and drain down.

    Please dude, Morales was shot to bits for that ****. Go get his Career dvd set and watch him where he was really absolutely complete. its not comparable. His prime was short for the combination of wars and his **** weight issues.

    Manny Pacquiao is a gym rat and is a physical specimen. Don't bring in that freak of nature into any comparison talks here

    Because Morales looked like **** in that fight a hell of a lot more than Raheem looked good, and there wasn't any big outcry to see Raheem fight, just like there wasn't any to see Diaz again. Diaz was just lucky enough to be holding the right belt in the right division to attract Pac enough to come and take it. Still and all, Raheem DID get a high profile fight in this next outing, against Acelino Freitas. Which he lost.
