Erik Morales getting SHUTOUT by "Zahir Raheem"

[HEZEKYHWH]

Oh it happens. Actually shit happens.

We all know about that.

lol yeah I know, it was a joke... I dont consider Morales an ATG. HOF sure, but not an ATG......

This is why he was beaten by Raheem....... Hes simply not great IMO....

[sicko]

lol the TS likely just looked at Boxrec and started this ****** thread not knowing much about Rahim

"Styles Make Fights" is not just something people say for the hell of it....IT IS TRUE!

I knew Raheem style was going to be a major problem for Morales and it would have given Pacquiao especially back then, major problems as well

Raheem was a excellent boxing and was very quick and had excellent hand movement...I give Morales props for taking that fight because I like most back then did not think he would take that Risk against Raheem before a rematch with Pacquiao

Doesnt happen all the time.... It was a trick question, While Morales is definitely hall of fame, ATG he is not.....

In memorable wars. Doesnt make you great. By that definition we would all have to give thunder ATG status... gatti .....

Morales could box, but he wasnt great at all.... He was simply put not great. If you feel hes great what makes him great???

I've said that about both Morales and Barrera.

Morales being the greater of the two because of his win over Pacquiao.

When you ask a question like "what makes him great", these guys will answer with everything but what made him so-called great.

They absolutely refuse to make a fair assessment based on facts and figures.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

A great fight does not make the boxers in it great.

Good post!

I agree with the Barrera assessment as well...

I simply dont see greatness there, and I find it funny when my friends and I talk they cant justify the ATGreatness either...lol..

Its as if everyone says it because they have heard it over and over again.

But I do wish to hear his explanation if he feels Morales is an ATG....

How does a good fighter beat an ATG???

Schmeling beat Louis, Turpin beat Robinson, Barkley beat Hearns, Zivic beat Armstrong. etc.

[mushahadeen]

Oh just STFU.

I don't care what happened in that one fight. Erik Morales is an ATG anybody who follows boxing knows that.

Maybe I can help with that!

So ATG fighters can't lose? Hopkins lost to Taylor, Robinson lost to Turpin, Zivic beat Armstrong, Ali should have lost to Jimmy Young, Schmeling beat Louis, Hearns to Barkley, etc.
