Morales at his orime,was the complete fighter,can fight backwards,forwards,had power,good defence,lateral movement,excellent at countering and did not need to go to war because he was so skilled,he could avoid. Watch the [aulie Ayala fight,it is one of the most complete performances I have ever seen. He did EVERYTHING. And overall,his resume is far far superior to Pac's and close to MAB's.
I actually think Morales has a better resume than Barerra. MAB edged out there trilogy sure, but Morales has stronger points on his resume I still feel.. I mean MAB was destroyed by Pac and Junior Jones the first fight(lost the rematch as well, barely).. .Morales has beaten both of these fighters... He also beat In Jin Chi, Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, Wayne Mccullough, daniel zargoza(was old but still an underrated champion), Paulie Ayala(before MAB, and it was a masterful win) Kevin Kelly he also beat first... Morales really only has Naz and Kennedy Mckinney, in terms of great fighters he beat, who Morales didn't first. I think what does it for me though is Mabs losses to PAc and Junior Jones... He was just thouroughly schooled by PAc, and then Morales actually beat him when ppl said he was washed up.
CC P4P,brilliant points. I too thought that Erik had the better resume,but I thought I was the only person on this forum that did! Although I think MAB has more big wins than the few you mentioned,I also think his longevity adds to his appeal,he has been around longer and has had more fights than EM but I totally agree,look at the fighters you named,that is a fricking AMAZING resume on Erik's part!
Yea CC back, see we could actually agree on alot of things if you didn't rave on about mrs. Margarito so much But yeah I realize MAB has more good wins then I mentioned, but so does Morales... I was highliting their GREAT wins... Both fighters have fought consistently solid competition since they established themselves, I just feel lately Barerra hasn't been taking the same kind of fights he used to, and Morales beating Pac so recently despite losing twice after, displays just as much longevity to his career imo... I mean really, could you imagine MAB rematching Pac and beating him, at any point?? I just couldn't see it. The fact that MOrales want's Pac and is fighting him again just shows his warrior spirit. And needless to say if he actually manages to win he will unquestionably have a better legacy than MAB.
