I am great fan of both, specially of Erick (who is seems to be eating very well ;D). I hope they stay retired and enjoy with their families the earned money and time.

"EARNED" was the perfect word to describe their fame and fortuneQuote:

I wonder if eric is still thinking, "why do I have to talk about that motherfxcker" ;D
You know, I always regretted that we never got to see Morales vs. Hamed.
Looking at those pics, I think it's realistic that a Morales vs. Hamed showdown can finally happen.... in a pie-eating contest.
I think this is a set up for Barrera v Morales IV.
A good photo. As much as I love watching these two fighters I wouldnt actually want to see a fourth fight. They've probably banked wisely and I would hope that they will just enjoy their retirements now.
this two might yet surprise you with a good comeback performance, as long as it's not against pacquiao.Quote:

To think of the pain they both put eachother through and the legendary status their fights have that`ll last for generations.
I was always a big morales fan and loved the way he lived up to the whole "bad guy" rep. was desperately disapointed after the 2nd and 3rd fights.
But i also realised in the grander scheme of things it had cemented his legacy within the sport and made him an all time great.
Agreed 2 of the sports greatest ever fighters and mexican legends that will only ever fall short of Julio Cesar Chavez!Quote:

Barrera got royally screwed over in the 1st fight and morales get the sympathy vote on account of him being a HBO boy.
Second fight was just too close to score either way and deserved a dead even draw
I had barrera winning the 3rd by a couple of rounds.
I thought that as you say Barrera was screwed in the first fight. But I had Morales just winning the second and Barrera got the decision so that evened itself up and in the final fight I think that Morales was showing that he was more battle scarred from the previous 2 than Barrera and Barrera took a close but clear win.Quote:

Both fights were controversial but no matter who won what fight i think they had it right at 1-1, then with Barrera clearly winning the 3rd fight by a few points making it 2-1 was fair IMO. And to be honest i thought Moares vs Barrera 1 was a draw last time i see it with the knockdown which was BS, because that wasn't a knockdown and had it not been scored i would of had Morales winning surely i can't be the only one that thinks that way ??Quote:

I agree with the decisions accept for the 1st fight
2-1 to Barrera is justice I suppose. Great fights . Gatti - Ward doesnt compare IMO.
Gatti vs Ward I was amazing but the next two were a bit one-sided. It was pretty obvious Gatti was winning those..Quote:
