    Maidana, a deluxe version of David Diaz. Young, in his prime, physically strong, high workrate, one of the heaviest punchers in the world, non title fight. Pure genius Erik, pure genius. That tops even the delusional state of Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield and Israel Vasquez. :bears::bears:

    Maidana is much better than Diaz.

    Morales will take a beating in this fight.

    Too bad. A part of me was looking forward to Morales/Marquez.

    I thought he beat Diaz at the time, for the record. I don't think he'll beat Maidana.

    Actually, Golden Boy is working on getting some nonsense title at stake. Yet another version of the WBA title (which means the winner would be somewhat of a mandatory for Khan, or Bradley-Khan winner), or the WBC silver belt. The promotion will undoubtedly be built around the possibility of Morales becoming Mexico's first-ever four division champ.

    At the very least, Morales remains one of the bravest fighters in at least our lifetime.

    If more fighters spent their career being as stupid as Morales the sport would rock harder. VIVA MEXICO!

    Thanks for the memories Erik. It's a shame you won't be able to remember them.

    You are right. How could I doubt them? The WBA or/and WBC always find a way to involve a belt or two.

    Brave and stupid. At least it will be short. I don´t see Morales getting out of the first three rounds.

    The only explanation can be that GBP has offered Morales a lot of money for the fight, or that possibly, he has some sort of commitment from GBP that he'll get a fight with JMM. But if JMM has a falling out with GBP that couldn't be the case.

    Wow. I'm a big El Terible fan, and for that reason, I hope that this fight either doesn't come off. Or if it does, that Erik at least gets knocked out quickly.

    But I agree that if all fighters had balls like this, boxing would still be at the top of the sports food chain today.

    It's a good fight for Maidana.

    Big name opponent, big payday, and potential for an impressive win.
    It's just what he needs coming off of a loss.

    Tszyu / Chavez is the first thing that popped into my head.

    could be, although the gap isn't as wide. That version of Tszyu is considerably better than Maidana, and Morales - while badly faded - isn't quite the dead man walking that Chavez was that at that point in his career.

    Definitely. It was just the first comparison I thought of.

    Guerrero vs Katsidis is on the U/C. Now THATS a much more compelling, and even matchup.
