Only two things came to my mind watching those three rounds..

Hagler...Hearns..

And.. when Morales layed on the canvas and let himself be counted out... I thought of Alexis Arguello also coming to the realization that.. he wasn't going to win. And, just as he acknowledged that he couldn't beat Pryor..Morales just showed that he knew..he couldn't beat Manny Pacquiao..

It's symbolic.. that one of the most prideful and one of the greatest of his generation..bowed out gracefully and admitted to himself, he had enough..

That whole instance..makes you love Erik Morales more, and all he stood for and what it came down to.

And Respect, how great Manny Pacquiao has become.

My letter to Erik.

Erik,
1st and for most I wish you a good recovery. I would like to express myself about your fight against Pacquiao. It takes a man to step in to the ring and win a fight, but it takes a greater man to know when hes lost and to accept that loss. Thank you for going out a winner and a trooper you understood one thing that Pacquiao was superior then you and he had defeated you once again. You fought your heart out and it was clear from round that your only hope was to get PAC early you tried and you connected with some hard punches, but the powerful, younger phillipino they call PAC-MAN got to you one pebble at a time. All this time leading up to the fight I felt I was gonna get teary eyed regardless of the outcome of the fight.... Well guess what, thanks to you I didn't to be honest seeing you on the canvas as you winked and shooked your head wasn't nearly half as bad as seeing you go down in the second fight. When you wen't down for the last time I myself screamed to the t.v. set DON'T GET UP! DON'T DO IT!
Cause to me theres it's more important to see you walk out on your own 2 feet, then in a stretcher and or victorious. Erik thank you very much for ALL the greats fights you brought to us, your a true warrior and showed it tonight even in defeat you shined like a legend.



My letter to PAC.

[rrbong]

well, what can I say after the fight? Satisfied....

Hoping another showdown. This time I hope Barrera will give the PACMAN (the real champ in the superfeatherweight division) the right to get the crown formally through the ring.

Barrera should not be a coward this time by fighting the Pacman. Cowardice is not an option now to get the respect of the boxing world.

All this time leading up to the fight I felt I was gonna get teary eyed regardless of the outcome of the fight.... Well guess what, thanks to you I didn't to be honest seeing you on the canvas as you winked and shooked your head wasn't nearly half as bad as seeing you go down in the second fight. When you wen't down for the last time I myself screamed to the t.v. set DON'T GET UP! DON'T DO IT!
Cause to me theres it's more important to see you walk out on your own 2 feet, then in a stretcher and or victorious. Erik thank you very much for ALL the greats fights you brought to us, your a true warrior and showed it tonight even in defeat you shined like a legend.

CC. It sucks when one of your heroes is beaten so badly and KO'd doesn't it? I thought Morales had a good shot of outboxing Pacquaio and winnin a decision tonight, but I was wrong. He fought the best he could and tried to hold off the Filipino whirlwind, but couldn't do it. It was sad to see Morales quit, but I guess he knew he was done. I've never been a big fan of Eric, but I gotta respect everything he has done. He's been a warrior and a great fighter. It's all over now though I think.

And Wacko, I was hopin Torres could look good tonight and beat that boring ass spoiler, big nosed SOB, Arnaoutis, but he didn't. I agree with you for once, I too had it 114-113 for Mike. He won the fight, hurt the big puncher, and had him backin up by the end. BS decision IMO.

My letter to Erik.

Erik,
1st and for most I wish you a good recovery. I would like to express myself about your fight against Pacquiao. It takes a man to step in to the ring and win a fight, but it takes a greater man to know when hes lost and to accept that loss. Thank you for going out a winner and a trooper you understood one thing that Pacquiao was superior then you and he had defeated you once again. You fought your heart out and it was clear from round that your only hope was to get PAC early you tried and you connected with some hard punches, but the powerful, younger phillipino they call PAC-MAN got to you one pebble at a time. All this time leading up to the fight I felt I was gonna get teary eyed regardless of the outcome of the fight.... Well guess what, thanks to you I didn't to be honest seeing you on the canvas as you winked and shooked your head wasn't nearly half as bad as seeing you go down in the second fight. When you wen't down for the last time I myself screamed to the t.v. set DON'T GET UP! DON'T DO IT!

nice letter man... its kinda sad to end it like that but im sure it took nothing away from his legacies
CC for the MOST LOYAL 'EL TERRIBLE' FAN in this forum

ERIK MORALES IS A GREAT PERSON and a BONA FIDE LEGEND

[CutMeMick]

Thats the thing though
Hulk & the_answer I am NOT sad, I thought I was gonna be but I am not. I'm not happy but I'm fine I smiled through out both interviews and aplauded them both. Both fighters are well and the better man won, I hope that Erik doesn't fight again and calls it a night for his career. Theres no need to continue fighting, your place is set in boxing history....

[El Gamo]

I don't know what to say.....First time I've been speechless here...Erik....it's over...

I respect Manny but you do not know how bad I want someone to get revenge and it boils down to 2 guys, Edwin Valero and Humberto Soto(2 former Morales sparring partners). And if anyone thinks MAB can beat Pac,you are deluded. He couldn't live with the ULTRA 1 dimensional Pac of 3 years ago,how will he beat,this VASTLY improved fighter?! Right hand,counters,jabs,and the left PLUS bodywork= P4P number 1 for me. 2 wins over EM,1 over MAB,1 over Larios,draw with JMM, and RING magazine number 1.That's TRUE P4P stats,compare his CV to his competitors,it's far beter and he was the man at 122 too. I'm sorry but ac is P4P number 1,no doubt in my mind.

[Purist]

Only two things came to my mind watching those three rounds..

Hagler...Hearns..

And.. when Morales layed on the canvas and let himself be counted out... I thought of Alexis Arguello also coming to the realization that.. he wasn't going to win. And, just as he acknowledged that he couldn't beat Pryor..Morales just showed that he knew..he couldn't beat Manny Pacquiao..

It's symbolic.. that one of the most prideful and one of the greatest of his generation..bowed out gracefully and admitted to himself, he had enough..

That whole instance..makes you love Erik Morales more, and all he stood for and what it came down to.

And Respect, how great Manny Pacquiao has become.

A bit like Kostya Tszyu hey Starr?











*cough.. hypocrite.. cough

And unlike Kostya Tszyu, Morales had a rematch with everyone that beat him(except Raheem)

[El Gamo]

Don't compare KT to Morales. Morales didn't quit on no stool,Morales actually beat the guys that beat him except Raheem and Morales went out like a warrior and gave rematches to the guy that just tkoed him.
