    He really wants that fourth title. He even turned down the possible megabuck 4th fight with his arch rival Barrera.

    Morales is a great but he really should stay retired. He's done enough already.

    his last fight was against David Diaz not Paq and that was a very good showing.

    Morales is a shot fighter. Too many wars, too many times where he blew up in between fights and then starved himself back down to make weight. He's done.

    I just hope he realizes this.

    I hate when great fighters come back or stick around too long when they/we know they are done.

    I hope if he comes back hes still on top of his game and doesnt tarnish his legacy.

    if only eric had gotten the decision over diaz, we could be seeing pac em 4 this coming weekend instead. Both would of have been 4 division champs instead of just pac after next saturday

    I think the fact that Morles could've got the nod over Diaz just shows how competitive Pac-Diaz is going to be.

    Erik please stay retired!!! I don't think you can beat any of the lightweights, not at this point in your life.

    One of the great 130 and below fighters of our generation.

    Could of beaten the very best on his day. But anyone that saw that last pacquiao fight saw a man who just didnt have the legs to fight anymore.

    He`d still beat quite a few title holders out there right now through his sheer workrate and ability to work the jab which is priceless in the lower divisions.

    But against the likes of manny, diaz, guzman, valero etc. Im afraid he`d be found wanting!

    I hope he's not coming back because he needs the money.

    Me too, there are few things that are as depressing as watching a former great return as but a shadow of himself. It would be quite sad to see EM KO'd or outclassed against a lesser opponent who he would have destroyed in his prime.
