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.
A bit like Kostya Tszyu hey Starr?











*cough.. hypocrite.. cough
And unlike like Kostya Tszyu, Morales had a didn't rematch with everyone that beat him (except Raheem)
good point
Like I said,you can't compare Tszyu to Morales....Morales didn't quit on the stool....

I respect Manny but you do not know how bad I want someone to get revenge and it boils down to 2 guys, Edwin Valero and Humberto Soto(2 former Morales sparring partners). And if anyone thinks MAB can beat Pac,you are deluded. He couldn't live with the ULTRA 1 dimensional Pac of 3 years ago,how will he beat,this VASTLY improved fighter?! Right hand,counters,jabs,and the left PLUS bodywork= P4P number 1 for me. 2 wins over EM,1 over MAB,1 over Larios,draw with JMM, and RING magazine number 1.That's TRUE P4P stats,compare his CV to his competitors,it's far beter and he was the man at 122 too. I'm sorry but ac is P4P number 1,no doubt in my mind.
We'll see mate . Barrera isnt completely washed up like Morales is
Morales wasn't completely washed up.....He did beat Pac only last year and was winning their battle this year until he got stopped. Nothing I have seen from MAB suggests that he would win,especially the fact that he has such a hard time with Juarez the first time,and Juarez is no pacman....
