After watching Diaz/Morales, does Pac-Man look better?

[GlassJaw]

Just wondering what everyone thought. Diaz showed Eric still had some fight in him, yet Manny streamrolled him.

After the Diaz fight, I honestly ranked Morales around the bottom of the top 10 in his division. He of course than retired, but am i crazy everyone?

he seriously retired sorry i didnt see the fight..

Eh. Diaz is a sloppy guy who a veteran with skill will always be able to take advantage of and make look bad. Plus I think after the knockdown Diaz gave Morales too much respect. Morales showed he can't fight for the long haul at 135, and that he can't hang with the elite at 130 anymore.

I felt Morales won that fight and was robbed of having made history. Although I seriously doubt if he still has the heart to fight. He's only 30 or 31 but he hasnt been the same when he was in his mid 20's. I think he should give the 4th title in a different weightclass another shot. He just seriously needs to improve his cardio though.

David Diaz was his only shot. Julio or Juan Diaz would fucking beat the shit out of him.

David Diaz couldnt even finish Morales he is pretty sloppy and likes to clinch. Pacquiao likes to use angles and Feints and throw more accurate shots.

David Diaz is a legit Lightweight though, so if Erik morales had won this belt no one could say it was a gimme fight. David Diaz is no slouch to be honest the guy fights pretty dirty but he is not a walk in the park. I was really impressed with Morales His skill reminded me of the old school guys.

Diaz Is Aggressive/tough And Fairly Busy; But Tech He Lacks Any Refinement, Not To Mention The Fact His Phys Skillset Is Nowhere Good Enough To Compete W/the Best-

Nate Campbell Would Kill Him..morales Already Beat Him

Does your last name have to be Diaz in order to be a LW champ? Twilight Zone

Yeah... Juan Diaz is the best though. Hopefully he will fight Casamayor for the TRUE name of champion.

Manny Pacquiao is one of the best fighters in the world, people wondered if Morales was done after getting knocked out twice by Pacquiao, I though he still had fight left in him and he fought well against Diaz but Morales is clearly done as a top level fighter

He had a fantastic career and always gave the fans there moneys worth, and he's a first ballet Hall of Famer, he still has his health so he should enjoy hes money with his family

He deserved it

Agreed...I would like to see Juan get through Julio and gun for Casamayor.

Casamayor would be a tough fight though. Its a tough fight for anyone but Joel is getting long in the tooth.
