Erik Morales getting SHUTOUT by "Zahir Raheem"

[Big_L]

remember when roberto duran got exposed by william joppy?

[americanbot]

He was 3 divisions past his prime weight, and had been boxing for 12 years. It happens when a guy isn't his best anymore. That's like holding it against Ali for losing to Leon Spinks, or Leonard for getting destroyed by Terry Norris.

you must be joking...............

did you just compare the boarder line parkinsons shot to utter **** ali vs the Morales who fought raheem?????????


WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS FORUM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That Ali was the heavyweight champion of the world, jackass. No paper titles like now either, the actual heavyweight champion of the world.

If Raheem was past his prime in 12 years then that proves Zaragoza was as the man was fighting when Morales was a goddamn toddler!!!

This is simple truth!!!!

it's amazing...........


morales can be old but actual old fighters (such as Zaragoza) can't be old...........

it's hilarious.

being washed up is a pretty good excuse.

morales really beat diaz though imo.

Washed up or past prime? A past prime "great" fighter should be able to beat two average fighters. Floyd Mayweather Jr is past prime, and his best weight class IMO was 130 and has been boxing pro since 1996, that's 16 years. Would it be a good excuse to say Floyd is past prime and is several divisions past his prime weight, if he loses to such an average fighter like Miguel Cotto?

Ali, you're comparing what happened to a 28 year old Morales to what happened to a 38 year old Ali[Whatever age he was, i'm sure it was late 30s]. And if you wanna talk about "Well look at the wars blah blah blah" Ali was hit hard by freaking Joe Frazier, George Foreman, etc.


Again, Leonard, a guy who was like 36 years old when he lost to Norris.

Ali and Leonard lost those fights at an age older than even the CURRENT Erik Morales.

I'm not even dissing Erik Morales, I said he's a very good fighter. The excuses though, the same "The wars he's been in". Man, these high numbered records mean nothing for more than the first half of their career. They pad up that record real nice.


All I know is Juan Manuel Marquez, who I believe is an actual great fighter. Even with his lack of defense, old age, wars he's been....would NOT lose to such average fighters like David Diaz or Zahir Raheem. Because he's actually GREAT.

It's the fact that Morales was old and out of weight. Zaragoza was still the champ and at his best weight. Why is this hard to comprehend?

[shade darkar]

Anybody can lose in a boxing ring, even the best fighters.

No was is saying that Zaragoza wasn't old. The argument is that he was the champ at 122 at worse rank #2 behind Junior Jones in the division. And, in that year alone had a couple of solid wins...One being against a young undefeated fighter in McCullough.

I would say this that Raheem might have given Morales trouble anyway. Because, of his stile and TBH Raheem wasn't a bad fighter. Just caught bad breaks. It happens, but Morales was not only past prime but also not in his best division.
