I think MAB has the whole nice guy image going on like Oscar but who punched who at the press conference? Who cried robbery after his loss to JMM and made excuse after excuse for his loss to JJ and Manny Pac.Who punched Mckinney at the press conference? Who hit JMM when he was down(and should have been dqed/docked a point)?

Just like I don't buy the Oscar whole i can do no wrong image,same with MAB.It's the whole HBO thing:when you hear Larry Merchant saying MAB invited him for tea,when you hear MAB say he'll root for Morales v Pac but look at some of the incidents I listed. Actions speak louder than words. Morales is made out to be the bad guy but when has Erik tried to hit someone at a press conference or tried to hit someone when they are CLEARLY down?

MAB was the HBO poster boy and got the hype,Morales didnt. And look at the class of Morales,he talked trash about Manny,got beaten and still went to the Phillipines and filmed with the guy that beat him.That's real class.

Well, every time I've seen Eric and Barrera in close proximity to each other, other than inside the boxing ring fighting, it's usually Eric saying despicable things about Barrera and his family. Whereas Barrera usually acts cool and talks neutral about Eric. Maybe it's an act... I don't know. But based on what I've seen, I tend to side with Barrera.

(Besides, Barrera won my everlasting admiration when he beat the stuffing out of Prince Naseem).

Morales fans are welcome to dispute all this, but speak up. That's what the forum is for, after all.

For once,we disagree. I think I made the better points though
