I'd like to see this instead of a boring 4th fight with Pacquiao. They could have it in Azteca stadium on Cinqo de mayo. It would be a great contest and event. Got this idea from Mike Juhas on Fighthype.
This fight was talked about ages ago, but fell through, remember? Morales ended up fighting someone instead, either before or after Maidana. It would be an entertaining fight, and I think Morales puts up a tougher fight than some anticipate, but as a Morales fan I don't want to see it, as he'll probably end up taking a beating.
Morales just said he was cheering for Pac because he wanted to be the only Mexican to have beaten Manny. I think Morales still wants to prove he was the best of the big 3 and that should make it exciting and competitive.
I have a feeling this fight will happen next year. Now that JMM looks better above 140 and Morales won the WBC 140 tittle it's the perfect timing. Obviously JMM has bigger options like a 4th Pacquiao fight which I'm sure Arum will offer him a good payday for. Such payday that he wont' turn it down. Win or lose I think he fights Morales afterwards next year. I like Morales but that guy in in denial. He acts like even Pacquiao has ducked him. :giggle: he claims those KO losses against him were only because Pacquiao made him cut weight and he was weak. He said that he wonders if Pacquiao would fight him now that he is looking like his old self. the Maidana fight was a big surprise but he still lost against a one dimensional brawler. Still I think the JMM/Morales fight at this stage would be a war. Jmm will win but it will be fun.
You people are out of your minds. This is like getting excited about Holmes-Ali. Sure, it would likely be more competitive than that (it couldnt be less competitive), but its a farce of a fight. Morales should stay retired.
I feel the same way. Both are way past their best, specially Morales. I'm a huge fan of both so I hope they never fight. Both have enough money to call it a career and live comfortably in Mexico.
