A fighters Decline... Erik vs. Manny

[GAME]

Morales was already on the slide in their first fight and he dealt very nicely with Pac who had 1 game plan and no answers. Pac has improved a lot since then though, credit where credits due. Prime for Prime Erik tears him a new onre though

Agree completely. Its silly to suggest otherwise especially when you see how easily Raheem handled Erik in Eriks 1st fight after teh Pac win .

Morales took a 1 sided beating that night and never tried to take it to Raheem . After that fight he never won another battle. The way he quit in the 3rd fight too was proof that his fighting spirit had left him . He would have never sat in out in his prime.

He just couldn't deal with Manny. Against Raheem it was just a bad match up, thats why the second fight against Manny started the same, except Manny was getting more done. The third fight Manny just jumped all over Morales in every aspect, Morales couldn't counter him, Morales couldn't handle the power or speed.

Against JMM I felt Pacquaio must have gotten badly hurt in the 4th round by a body shot because he looked hurt for 3-4 rounds, I feel Marquez hit Pacquaio a lot in the fight, but Pacquaio also hit JMM a lot. I don't know what it is about JMM, but he seems to have Pacquaio's number. When JMM fought Barrera it was practically dead even, and Pacquaio fought Barrera after that and completely outboxed the same Barrera who matched JMM basically punch for punch.
