Erik Morales to continue fighting??

[brucelee]

I still believe Erik was robbed of that important win against Diaz. Go erik, knock Diaz out and prove to the world that you can still do it.

Erik is my man. A true warrior!!!!!!

i still believe in erik. he can still do it.

David Diaz is a southpaw. Hey! maybe Erik will use Manny as sparring partner this time. Pac is way faster and hits harder than Diaz.

I guess he wants to go out on top. He knows he can beat this guy so he wants to go for it one more time. The fight was close. I think if Morales had a little bit more in the tank he could have won.

Morales has taken far too much punishment over the years. He should not continue fighting.

Totally agree with you 100%.

Morales was one of my most favorite fighter fighters of all time...but what's done is done & it's time for Erik to hang it up.

exactly. it's just a question of stamina cos he lets himself blow up in between fights. he can definitively beat diaz this time cos i think he beat him the first time.

There's an articld at boxingsc%&* that says it's just a rumour and has no truth in it. I hope they are right.

I hope it's not true.

don't all boxers want to go out on top? Erik is still a good fighter but not a top fighter. Let him wail on someone and go out with a W.

No true fan of Eric's should wish for him to continue to fight. Eric was DONE after the second Pac fight. He should have hung it up right there and then. As SweetPea has said...he has been in as many or more wars than any boxer in recent years. He needs to swallow his pride and take care of his body and mind, not fight some second/third rate fighters hoping to regain glory or "go out on top." He has nothing to prove. It's always sad, and potentially tragic, when great fighters don't know when to call it quits.

haha. and we're not.

Oh my gosh,you're joking!!! What the heck is he thinking?! When someone as skilled as Morales loses(although he should have got the W he still struggled_) against a journeymen like Diaz,it's time to call it quits. He even said in an interview after the fight that punches were having more of an effect on him now than they have ever done before! I guess the lure of making history proved too much.

A rematch with Diaz I'd accept. But nothing more. He could take another 12 rounds against Diaz, only this time get it at a neutral venue to avoid the robbery. I'm still pissed Morales was denied a Mexican record thanks to a hometown decision. Things like this should not happen.
