How long did you follow morales? Eric went up to fight raheem and from the get go looked lazy, plus raheem is a style that could give anyone problems but imo if eric came in thinnking he was going to fight pac and not some guy who went down in weight and lost to Juarez, eric would of ko'ed raheem. I dont think eric was on the slide because he lost to raheem, he lost becuase he didn't come in the way he should of. Look at the last few rounds, eric began to fight how he should of fought from the get go. Even knocking raheem down fighting with one hand.
Eric imo is the most talented out of the great featherweights but he didn't have the right attitude sometimes.
i've been following Morales since right before the Zaragoza fight, so i've seen every fight of his that had any real importance in his career, and IMO he didn't look lazy, he looked off balance from the get go, and his feet were slightly uncoordinated, he would just lung in and get countered, he did manage to get his shit together A BIT in the rematch against Pacquiao, but still resorted to just lunging in with the right hand and got countered by a harder hitter, IMO if Raheem had any pop he would have stopped Morales as well, and we know that Raheem is not power puncher, similar to Hatton, Morales abused his chin for too long and the granite finally got a crack, his inability to walk through punches like he used to, against harder hitters than Raheem was already proof enough that he was on the slide
