My Thoughts Now Everything Has Calmed Down.

All I have to say is that there were two big rivalry bunches in boxing in the 21st century... you had the hbo stars, Mosley, Floyd, Oscar, etc... and you had the little big star guys, Morales, Barrera, Pacquiao...

... Finally one of them grew UP and fought one of the other fighters up in their weight class.

Albeit older Oscar.... nobody expected a blow out!!!! Destruction! (phillipino predictions don't count)

Tells you JUST how good Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales REALLY are.

JMM and Morales were in classes of their own, and Pac in that mix.. They had bloody battled wars for 12 rounds.. They were warriors right down to their core, and the fact Pac has been in amongst them and gone blow for blow with them for 12 rounds only proves even more that he will be able to go to war with just about anyone at 140 and alot at 147 when/if the time is right.
But agreed, P4P Morales and JMM at 140 and 147 would have been as destructive as pretty much anyone we've seen at those weights...

I not sure how to say this but here it goes i would think if the Oscar that fought in the 90s fought that night he would of won by a late stoppage.

If he had that jab and the footwork he had in the 90's,quite possibly. But he had neither this past weekend

Roach thought the same as well. He said if Oscar was in his prime, they wouldn't have taken the fight. The fact that he was older was a reason they took a risk at 147.
