Erik Morales returns to the ring in March - at welterweight

[Cleon]

Yay

If you can't beat jive ass Diaz who you gona beat

[blegit]

Utterly sad.

[generalbulldog]

1 question comes to mind. Is he broke?

[Greig]

Lets hope for his sake they feed him some patsies.


Gotta love the quote post-Diaz:-

"No more fighting. I am done. Too many punches, particularly to the head area."


Erik is one of my favourite ever fighters, I really hope it doesn't end badly for him.

Meh, it's his choice at the end of the day. If he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it so we might as well get behind him.

Not sure if I'd be up for getting behind him
But each to his own

Can I just get a check on... MEH (pronounciation), sounds good

Welterweight is way too big for Morales.

But if he wants to fight again I say let him fight Jose Luis Castillo.

That would be a marketable fight and a winnable one for Morales.

I'd watch it.

Well if I was to smash you in the face and someone was BEHIND you, they could SUPPORT you, so you did not fall on your arse where I could stomp the eyes out your head.

The verbal equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders, is "Meh"

nope, true fans/friends would be able to stand up and say, you need to keep out of boxing for your health and safety.

I am a huge Morrales fan and I think that the retirement would effectively be better for him. Still, I will be glad to see him back on a ring but I am really not certain about the good aspect of that return.

[Hornfinger]

Eugh, I love Erik, the man embodies everything I love about boxing, but really he should have retired after he TOTALLY SCHOOLED Pacquiao. And he should have DEFINATELY retired after the second pac fight.

It was obvious when he fought that he loved a brawl. And it seems he loves fighting too much for his own good. And coming back at this weight? I don't think this comeback will last long, Although I'm sure Amir Khan will jump at the chance to fight him. A notion that makes me want to puke my guts up.

1 question comes to mind. Is he broke?

From what I read and hear he's actually doing very well money wise. He just misses the sport. Morales has always stated he was born to box.

yea i agree, although i don't think he should

he's not broke, made plenty in his career and invested well, still making money from his promotion company and boxing magazine

his job as head of sports and recreation in Tijuana is basically done for free, he donates his paycheck to be able to help run it

[littlebif]

I think he should fight Hatton at super middleweight .Both would'nt need that much training then to get to the weight

How about a 3 way fight with Vargas!
