Good point. The weight is seriously an issue.

Erik has proven that he can still fight & he was doing a good job in the first two rounds, IWO...the thing is...Erik's long in the tooth now.

Another thing is this...Pacquiao is a force to be reckoned with...he proved that against Barrera in a devastating manner as well as with Morales.

Let him move up in weight & see how he does...but honestly...I think it's time to put a cap on the ole' career.
But for morales to trade so early on was a little too reckless for my liking.... if getting an early KO was his only strategy then that was very foolhardy. Boxing a decision was the only way I could see him winning and if he knew he couldnt go 12, then it was even more silly to take on such a fight...
