Malignaggi vs Morales

[zhubin]

Having watched Morales fight recently, I don't see how anyone can say he is not a shot fighter. Barrera, while not as shot, is no where near the fighter he once was either. Both are legends with huge hearts...but both of them are also a reminder of how hard it is for once great fighters to step away when they no longer have any business fighting.

I agree Morales may be lacking in power at the higher weight but he is still a clever strong fighter. The shots the body against Limmond would have stopped Malignaggi and a few other names at welter too.

All Morales needs is another sharpening up fight and hes ready. It took him a few rounds to get in to the Limmond fight, where he was facing someone who was using alot of movement. I believe the next fight his sharpness is there much earlier in the fight. Hes building up some momentum.

In fact, hes looking to face Jorge Barrios at 138lb in December then a lightweight title fight with Marquez next year
