Its on Dan Rafael's notebook on Espn.com
Has him quoted personally so seems credible, he says with Sulaiman's help he could get an immediate title shot at 135 but he would need a few tune up fights before he gets a title shot.
Says he thinks he's still better than "some of the current boxers, like Joel Casamayor and Jaun Manuel Marquez."
:-\
Gotta worry about the guys long term health.
I duno why he thinks he is better than those guys when he cant even beat Diaz.
Id like to see Erik fight again cuz he isnt really that old even if he does look washed up . Maybe a bit of rest will have done him good I doubt it will have done him enough good to be a force at lightweight though
It will be good to see him back but I dont expect to see the whirlwind with furious speedy attacks of yesteryear , rather a dull faded worn out fighter . Hope im wrong cuz Id love to see him face Marquez and hand out a beating .
Him and MAB should stay retired. Great fighters just can't help making comebacks, can they?
Morales should chill out and stay retired.He was a great fighter.So many fighter retire and then come back to end up a broken man.Morales was top draw like.I wish him all the luck if he does get back in the game.
the only reason I could think he wants to fight again is to maybe go out on a win, he has nothing left to prove, just hope he doesn't end up like Evander
Better then Marquez?? lmao wow this guy should def stayed retired...
he should stay retired.
testing 123
i hope he don't fight any more
I think in his prime he was definitley better than Marquez but not now. He needs to stay retired.
Morales was a great fighter he doesnt need to fight again and risk taking more punches.Why do alot of greats wanna come out of retirment and prove them selves all over again.
There's nothing more for him to prove. Everybody knows that he is one of the best in his division. He should just stay retired.
Everyone on here knows damn well i'm a hardcore Morales fan, i saw him winning his last fight against Diaz and winning the WBC Lightweight "championship" that now Pacquiao has, and with that said, i think he should stay retired, he has given the sport plenty of exciting dramatic fights, and also fought everyone that was put in front of him, never really changing his game plan in a fight cause he was so stubborn, that his will alone, would obligate his opponant to give in to his game plan, legendary fighter, should have gone out as a champion, but well was robbed, either way, nothing to prove, enjoy your rest and look back at the bar you, Barrera and all the other great fighters in the past recent years have set
last thing, Morales prime for prime would have beat Marquez, but would have been a hell of a fight
Morales is a total corpse, and the people close to him need to tell him that. I think it's a telling sign that Top Rank reportedly wants no part of promoting him if he comes back.
Too many wars, too many training camps spent starving himself to make weight. All fighters reach the end at a different age. Morales was done at 30.
I disagree with every single person on this forum. Eric Morales should NEVER fight again! (haha)
He'll be talking like Freddie Roach pretty soon if he's not careful.
He needs to just look at how EASILY Pac smashed Diaz to pieces compared with his own showing against the guy (I think he won the fight, but it was tight).
Fight what the battle of the buldge? Last pick I saw of him he looked as though he was competeing with Duran on who can carry the most chins?
Erik did not look too well in his last fights....I mean that to the point of I feared for him getting hurt seriously in the ring at any moment....
Stay retired enjoy fame, before one of these young blokes make you enjoy applesauce as your main meal and a nurse makes you enjoy wheel of Fortune as they put your chair in front of it during TV time at the rehab center
Morales's leagcy is sealed. He should stay retired and enjoy the time off. He won his last fight without question.

I am hoping Erick stays retired... I am a big fan of him, but I am worried for his health. He had given great gifts to us and it is time to retire.
I also think he won againts Diaz but considering how he struggled against someone like Diaz, it doesn't convince me to see him back in the ring.
