I dont rate Pac as highly as most due to his lack of boxing skills (im not saying he is bad, I just dont see a p4p fighter in him)and his dependancy on speed and reflexes,I reckon he is a belt waiting to be taken by a decent live boxer in their prime.

However, only a fool would count Erik Morales out completely, if he is looking at this as a final bout he might go out on a masterclass.

Final thought......

A win for Pac would be down to Eriks decline imo

A win for Erik would certainly be no upset.
how would it not be an upset, Manny IS right now one of the p4p best in boxing today, just cause he's not the most skilled you can't take it away from him, look at Tyson, at his best he was #1 p4p the best in the world, and just last year's fighter of the year Ricky Hatton he doesn't have the best skill and is considered p4p one of the best in the world, Morales is being counted out by many, and if he picks up the win like i think he will, it will certainly be an upset victory, and he should get the full credit he deserves, don't spit a lot of bullshit and try to soil either fighters victory, seems like that's all most people do, give an excuse to the loser, Morales put on a masterful performance and gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson in their first fight (although it was no easy task), second fight Pacquiao trained extremely well for the fight and was completely focused and worked on his flaws and with the stronger will he beat Morales in a hard fought fight, he clearly took over the fight from the 6th on and would have no doubt won the fight even if it would have gone to the cards, but he beat a game Morales, so whoever wins be it Morales or Pacquiao both fighters should get all the credit in the world, and all the respect in the world for putting on one of the best trilogies in recent years
