Erik Morales vs David Diaz

[SweetPea]

While it'll be impossible for me to not root for Morales (he's one of my favorite all-time fighters), my biggest worry is that he'll win this fight, and then fight next against an elite fighter who could really hurt him.

Say Morales wins (but still looks old), and then Marquez can't get a fight with either Pac or MAB, would Marquez take the big money and fight Morales at 135? Ya, he might. And I think he would beat up Erik.

You guys are looking down at eric way too much. marquez will not beat up eric if he moves up to 135 that is very unlikely.

I'll remember all the names thinking eric is just a push over now and will get easily beaten by anyone just because the best in the featherweight took him out.

Who said he's a pushover who will get beaten by anyone?

We're saying he's a fighter who has been thru a TON of brutal wars, who has absorbed a ton of punches, who has now lost 3 fights in a row (and 4 out of 5), and is moving up in weight to a division where he's fought once before and was completely dominated.

his not the only one whos been thru a TON of brutal wars thats no excuse specially for great fighters such as eric. he lost 4 out of 5 thats true, very close one to mab. two knock out lost to pacman. and one bad night against raheem. he ain't done no shame in losing to two greatest fighters ever in the featherweight mab and pac, and have a bad night against a very complicated fighter raheem.
his last fight against pac, he caught pac with a lot of shots that would k.o other fighters.

1. Name another active fighter who has been in as many brutal wars against top-notch opponents as Erik Morales.
2. No one said he should be ashamed of the way he's fought, or ashamed of the people he has lost to. You're making up arguments that don't exist.
