Re: Erik Morales to continue fighting??
i don't want erik to get hurt but the thing is i really don't think he's shot. on the decline yes but definitely not shot. he has had several losses in his last outings but those are circumstantial. with barrera, it was a close fight and could have gone either way. with pacquiao, he was weight drained and really shouldn't be fighting anymore at 130lbs. with raheem, he was overconfident and didn't really prepare well (of course raheem's style didn't make it any easier). with diaz, i think he should have won that fight and if only he can manage to keep his weight down then we'll see erik win that elusive 4th title in 4 different weight divisions yet.
Re: Erik Morales to continue fighting??
On reflect on that comment i have to apologise, i too thought that Morales won that fight, However i still stick to my comment as i feel if they met again Morales would be further aged and could sustain injury.

I agree KKisser. People were saying before that Barrera was already shot when Manny beat him but still won a title after that. Erik is declining but not totally shot. He was robbed of that title against Diaz. That's the real fact.
