Morales was better on the night...simple as that. Prime for prime these guys would put on a great bout everytime, and be fairly even no matter how many times they fought!
Morales is just a better fighter than Pacquiao. If Morales was a few years younger he would still be champ.....he just got old. Prime on prime he would hand Pacquiao his ass 9 out 10 times.:good
Morales was superior. Flat out. The version of Morales Pacquiao did eventually beat was CLEARLY a spent force. Pacquiao never would have beaten a prime and ready Morales under any circumstances, IMCV.
Wrong socks, bad oysters, spies in mannys camp etc. Morales was just better that night and even gave Pac a chance to knock him out in the 12th.
:-( Yet another ****ing dire thread! You're on quite a tear recently. Tomorrow I'm going to try and match the sheer inane and immature dogshittery of this by making: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Oh wait, I actually won't make that thread because it's puerile and shite, and I'm not "Big Reg".
Morales was a more skilled fighter than Manny at the time... he was also bigger at the time and managed to back Pacquiao up and bully him around with ease.
Absolute peak Morales would be ****ing bulldozed early by absolute peak Pacquiao, because Morales's absolute peak was at 122-126lbs, and Pacquiao's absolute peak is somewhere between 135 and 147lbs, so your strong conviction on this issue is actually worthless.
