Morales at his prime was P4P number top 3 easily.
First, Manny (still approaching his prime) is P4P top 3 easily now, so even if this were true it wouldn't make your point that "a prime EM would easily sweep away pacman." Second, RJJ, B-Hop, James Toney and Barrera (and arguably Holyfield) were all better than EM during EM's prime.
Pacfan,I'm adressing you here too bro,I believe EM to be superior in his prime simply because he could do it all.Fron foot,back foot,counter,good defence EVERYTHIng.Manny may be getting better but imo Erik was by far and away the more complete fighter in his prime. You make a valid point,Pac may still be reaching his prime(or he may have peaked). I never wrote sweep away Pacman either so why that is quoted........
Thanx pal for the nice, civilized chat. Got your point but it's hard for me to swallow the 'by far and away' part, did you really mean it?
If you did, wow! you're a true, full-blooded Erik fan, and I wish I can be like you when it comes to Pac; just haven't got the courage to declare that Pac is by far and away the best, maybe just a simple "best" (and already I can sense howls of protest here!).
