Erik Morales vs David Diaz

[Gandalf]

If MAB bounced back from his knock out losses and gained back his excellent reputation, why can't EM do the same thing?

yeah why MAB can do it and not morales?

There are differences. MAB's 2 KO losses to Jones were over a decade ago, early in his career (and it took him a few years to get over them). Morales is much older than Barrera was then.

Yes, Barrera also took the beating against Pac, but he has not been in the same number of wars as Morales. Morales has been in two epic trologies, and has also had wars against the likes of Zaragoza, Injin Chi, etc. Barrera made a big switch in his style before the Hamed fight to become more of a boxer. if Barrera never changed, he wouldn't still be an effective fighter today. Morales never did that, he has been a high-contact fighter his whole career.

Also, a BIG factor, is that Morales' body has been greatly worn down over the years because he has had to starve himself over and over again to make weight. That kills a fighter's body and makes a fighter older than he really is. Barrera never had the struggles with weight that Erik had.

wow now I know how smart you are sweetpea what k.o loss are you talking about

the only man to k.o mab is pacman. I guess you didn't know that. proves how educated you are.

jones beat mab the first one was by DQ the second one was by UD.

take notes kid you just learn something, get back at me if you want to get schooled again

This post is so juvenile that it's not even worth a response.

However, I'll respond so I can use this as an opportunity to teach a valuable lesson:
Kids, don't ever say you "schooled" another poster when you don't even know the facts and are using boxrec to get all your info.

Example, Mr. Julius Rain thinks Barrera didn't get KO'd, even though anyone who watched the fight knows that Barrera (after getting knocked down once already) was trapped against the ropes, getting nailed with punches, and was out on his feet, when his cornerman ran into the ring to save him. Hence, it's listed as a DQ, because his cornerman ran into the ring instead of throwing in the towel from the corner.

Thanks for playing, Julius.

I grimaced when reading JuliusRain's post. And this reply gave me a chuckle
