"Sixty forty I kicks yo' ass, Sixty forty I tears yo' ass up" - Roy Jones
First let me say that I agree with u regarding Pac beating Morales regardless of the weight issues. I do believe that the 3rd fight would have been much more competitve if he didn't kill himself making weight. Also the argument about Pac beating Barrera so he would've beat Morales doesn't hold because styles make fights. Junior Jones anyone?
exactly, lets not forget that Morales also beat Pacquiao around in his last decent showing, it's not a coincidence that every performance afterwards (including Raheem) has been horrible since after his win against Pacquiao
IMO Barrera and Morales have gone 1-1-1 each, hell Morales did better against Pacquiao in the 2nd fight than Barrera ever did against Manny
Yeah thats true..but what I think really happened in the raheem fight was Morrales was exposed..his style was. Roach slowed manny down, meaning he was more patient and allowed the kayo to come to him and it was very evident, much like Raheem didn't engage into a brawl like barrera-morrales. Pac had clearly improved in his boxing ability.
I think morrales was great, but pac would have beaten him anyhow with or without the raheem fight or the weight.

Morales never really stepped on the gas against Raheem, IMO due to the fact that his timing was already starting to slide, the only round that he chose to turn it on (the 11th) he dropped Raheem (although it wasn't counted), Morales depended on 2 things his entire career, his chin and his ability to impose his offense and pressure you to back up, he showed flashes of this against Raheem in the 11th, and he did relatively well against Pacquiao in the rematch, he was actually only behind by a point or two, his output dropped and it wasn't due to Pacquiao wearing him down, and it was pretty evident from the Raheem fight onwards that Morales' punch resistance wasn't what it used to be
I think Chatchai Sasakul was weight drained in the Pac fight. Pacquiao just got that Lucky Left for the KO.![]()
