It's symbolic.. that one of the most prideful and one of the greatest of his generation..bowed out gracefully and admitted to himself, he had enough..
That whole instance..makes you love Erik Morales more, and all he stood for and what it came down to.
And Respect, how great Manny Pacquiao has become.
