    Barrera deserved it, but morales still won their great fight in 2000. Do you think Morales would've gone to war with naseem instead of countering like barrera did? POSSIBLY, it woulda been a great. Would he win???

    The Prince put up good money to fight these guys and they turned him down.

    Barrera took the fight after being offered it like 5 times.

    At that time - no one really wanted to fight him.

    Morales would have won a wide decision similar to Barrera, the difference is he could box or go to war and do it, most likely he would be going to war.

    Morales would have gone to war, the guy just couldn't resist!

    Would have been an awesome fight.

    If he boxes him an easy win if he stands and trades he loses, i don't tink anyone at 122-126 could stand and trade with naz, it aint going to happen. Alot of people seem to forget naz was a big favourite against mab becuase people thought it was going to be a war, mab knew he would get koed if he stood and traded with naz so he changed his style up and gave him a boxing lesson.

    If morales gets sucked into a war he's in trouble. The prince hit harder than pac i believe. Even though a prime morales is tough as nails, and he hits harder than barrera

    definitely, but I would see a Morales KO...Naz would've been knocked down a couple times before stoppage. That's my opinion.

    Morales wouldnt duck king Kong..he stepped up to PAC when the whole of Mexico was ducking...

    Naseem fought 1 great fighter MAB and clearly lost.. Then fought 1 very good fighter Kelly and was down 3 times

    The rest of his opponents?...Im sure they're good people

    but please shut the **** up with Hamed already!!

    Yea but at 122-126 Morales was big puncher himself who was prime and had a great chin. Morales had it all at those weights along with being prime I doubt Naz would KOed Morales before Morales KOed Naz. Pacman would never beat Morales at those weights either and IMO Morales won the first two fights and lost the last against MAB so really he should be undefeated at both those weights.

    He boxes naz he wins everytime he goes to war and i think he loses more than he wins.

    Naz is harder to hit if you attack him ahead. He was never hurt in the kelly fight.

    Erik is the better fighter, but if he gets out of control it be intereting. If anyone can hurt eik with 1 punch its naz

    I love Morales, but anyone that fought Naz the way Morales fights was laying on the canvas like an infantile ******. You simply CAN NOT come straight at Naz and win. You have to box and counter, a la Barrera.

    hamed fought many good fighters. Do some research outside of pac and pac opponents.
