Erik Morales-David Diaz officially set for August 4 in Chicago

[CutMeMick]

yea casamayor is the champion in that division but his an old fighter too, if there was a pacman in that division casamayor wouldn't be champ he'd get retired or look shot if there was a pacman in that division.

I take it you think if there was a pacman when SRR was around pacman would beat him too...

its bullshyt to say morales has taken so much beating throughout his career,

How many Morales fights have you seen? (Completely)

Also do the names; Chacon, Norris, Gerald mean anything to you...

i read a few post back about if you follow his career you'd see that, nope its about morales mistake of lowering his level down to his oppenents level.

Now I know I'm dreaming....
Erik knew nothing but to trade and stand toe to toe.....
It has nothing to do with Erik lowering himself to no level....

So when Erik fought MAB, Erik lowered himself to MABs level
So when Erik fought 'Poison' he lowered himself to his level
So when Erik fought 'The Mouse' he lowered himself to his level
So when Erik fought 'Pocket Rocket' he lowered himself to his level
and so on and so on.......

if morales would of had in mind he was going in to fight pac when he fought raheem, he would of knock out raheem.

Now I know you don't know much about Erik...
Erik didn't and wouldn't beat Zahir because Zahir is everything Erik isn't, Zahir was on a bike never stood in front for more then let's say 6-10 seconds move around and at no point did he decide to trade....
Morales has always been a straight forward fighter the 1st time you ever saw Erik fight on the back foot or going back was when he fought MAB for the 1st time.....

Really don't know where your coming from with these statements BUT something tells me it has something to do with some who's name rhymes with 'Danny Raquiao'

Well good job CMM. I definitely couldn't wade through that post, it was for the sake of my own sanity.

Well Mick , I can appreciate your concern , but this is who Eric is , the profession he choose. I think a loss to Pacman is nothing to be ashamed of, Eric struggled making weight for that match and it showed. He looked weak.. Still gave a good effort in that match reguardless .I am not ready to write him off just yet. Lets see what happens in this next match, at a higher weight and go from there. I think he will be alright ..

Spot on about the profession he chose, thats just who hes is but for MY personal taste this has sour grapes written allover it....
Like I said who knows he might beat Diaz (if they meet) but then what?
I would hope retire with a victory BUT you really think Erik will retire? Hell no...
Hell keep fighting 'till when? Hes really hurt....
And thats what I would hate to see.....

Its hard to stop doing what you love. its a passion that runs deep. can't explain it. you want to go out on you own terms, on your shield if need be.

Exactly.
No great fighters ever retire when they're on top (or coming off a win). They don't retire until they suffer a really bad defeat that convinces them once and for all that they need to quit.
I thought the last fight was the one that convinced Morales he was done. He shook his head No and took the 10 count, then in the Merchant interview he gave a farewell speech, he seemed to realize it was time to go.
If he comes back, he's not going to get thru it without taking another beating, because he won't retire until he takes another beating.
I'd rather see him end his career in front of a sold-out crowd in Vegas against one of the best fighters in the world (like the Pacquiao fight), instead of ending it as an old man getting beat up by some guy who he would've destroyed in his prime.

Fair enough. That's his choice and a respectful one. But it's my choice to feel uneasy about the whole thing. And he wouldn't be going after a title holder if he was planning on quitting.

wow eric knew nothing but to trade and stand toe to toe yea i stop reading after that, yea your no fan of eric thats why your like this.

actually eric has always been the most gifted out of him and mab, believe me he knew more then just to trade and stand toe to toe. thats the dumbest shyt i've heard about eric.

if you've known eric for the longest you'll know how much he has lowered his level to his oppenents level time after time.

ask those who has really followed erics career they will tell you that and even more.

as for me i saw the best from morales in the trilogy against pac, because he had no anger against pac that got him out of control and unfocus and made to look like a bad guy. he fought like a great in victory and in defeat. unlike the trilogy with mab, morales fought on fuel of fruastration he had for mab. it was the anger for mab that got morales going toe to toe with him, he didn't use his boxing skills much. but against pac it was pacs sheer brutal pressure not anger that got morales having to trade and abonden his boxing skills.

i'll always rate those three like this.

morales best boxer and most skilled out of them three.

barrera smartest and toughest asshole out of them three.

but pac whoops them both because of pacs brutal force.

I can assure you CMM is a EM fan LOL.

Honestly, is EVERY post you make fueled by your love for Pac? I like him to he is a fun fighter to watch but he beat a prime EM twice? I would doubt that even Pac thinks that.

i'm just calling it like it is partneR.

prime pacman you haven't seen much of so you can't say a damn thing if pac could of beat prime morales or not.

as a fan of both i'd sell everything i own just to have ring side seats to prime vs prime em and pac. hehehe

What? Prime Pac vs Prime EM? I thought you just said that Prime Pac vs Prime EM just happened 3 times?

[SweetPea]

What? Prime Pac vs Prime EM? I thought you just said that Prime Pac vs Prime EM just happened 3 times?

Yeah, Erik had to summon all of his greatness just to last 3 rounds with the superhuman Manny Pacquiao.

I swear to God when he typed that I nearly lost it. I know about BoxingGod and the nicknames he's gotten and now I understand why.

it took a great morales to last the second round in the third fight with pacman.

That's classic.
