EDIT: Morales - Maidana is done deal

[miron_lang]

OA anyone?

The only times that Morales looks really 'terrible' were againts Pac who has freakish speed. The so so prepared version of Morales was even able to beat David Diaz.

Morales beat Alfaro who kayoed Corley the same Corley who gave a modest account againts Maidana. Yeah he doesnt look super elite in his last 3 W. But who is Maidana anyway? Yeah it looks like he has great power but will he just overwhelm Morales? He didnt even do it againts someone with a glass chin.


46 Yr. old Evander Holyfield was given a chance againts WBA Champion Valuev. Erik is 12 yrs younger than that.

He didnt beat Diaz and thats the point that if he couldnt even beat Diaz back in the day when he still had abit of ability left then what chance does this older slower version have against a bigger better fighter in Maidana.

Maybe he has seen something he can exploit but if the Limond fight is anything to go by Erik doesnt have much left.

Eric may box for a bit but will eventually get caught and stopped. I really hope I am wrong.

[:::PSL:::]

He'll be alright. He may have warrior mentality. But he knows when to quit.

How dare you say that Eric is a quitter, name one fight he has quit in!

I'm sorry, but is that a rhetorical question? Or you really want me to answer that?

Only fight Morales has ever quit in was the third fight with Manny Pacqauio. And that was only after giving his all and being dropped three times. It was futile to continue and Morales realized it.

I feel the same way. I just think as many people do that Morales doesn't have what it takes at this point of his career to beat a top 5 guy especially at another weight division. We have to remember Morales was a badass at the lower weights when he was prime not at the higher weights especially right now.

If DeMarcus Corley can give Maidana some troubles, Morales can too. Maidana is still a bit overated in my book, maybe Nacho can help him throw a straight punch.

I don't know if he's hugely overrated or not, but Maidana is the epitome of a one-dimensional slugger. His technique is awful and he uses his chin as his defense, but he has concussive power and I don't think Morales has enough left to beat him.

If he knew how to do that there is no way Con makes it out the 10th. No way

Not to mention. Erik Morales recently beat someone who has a TKO victory over Demascus Corley.

[Julius Rain]

Maidana is overrated. this version of Eric still whoops him.

You obviously never saw the fight
