If maidana catches you kinda like edison Miranda then it's problems . But other than that he's pretty average in some areas below that. E morales gave you problems ??!!!! Not good
Your posts get more and more pathetic.

BEFORE Maidana fought Khan he was top ranked at 140 because he had ALREADY destroyed Ortiz, lost a razor close decision to WBA champ Kotelnik and had a 90 odd % KO ratio. Khan's people didn't need to hype him, he was already PROVEN and starring on HBO.

A legend like Eric Morales giving a crude slugger problems is not good? What a disgrace to Morales. Deary deary me...
People are way overrating Morale's shotness. He only ever got blown out by Manny, same as David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. He's only 34, hardly an old man, and although he's for sure been in some wars, it's probably not that many more than JM Marquez, and he's been fairly well rested the last couple years and is not starving himself to make weight.

I think he showed that he's still got more to offer than we thought. Let's credit Morales with doing better than expected, rather than drag down the entire 140 lb division to beig crap.
