they say that every great fighter on the downside has one great fight left. morales comes to mind when he beat pacquiao the first time. morales looked on the downside when he lost to barrera. he definitely looked shot against raheem and against pacquiao II & III and david diaz. i think what did him in was his street fighter mentality in which he needlessly engaged in many toe to toe wars. he was what he was, a fighter and entertainer first. maybe if he would have taken a different approach like boxing instead of having so many wars, he wouldn't have become as good as he became. another thing is that he wasn't very disciplined with his weight between fights. he killed himself to make weight numerous times and it showed in the latter part of his career.
