Do you think Morales can Beat Corrales??

I personally think Morales can.

I think Corrales can beat outboxed by Morales but obviously my main concern would be the stupidity of Morales and him getting involved in a brawl when he has the ability to beat Corrales. I think he would be able to get his punches off against the taller oponent and use his skills to not get caught as much. His chin is superior in my opinion.

Funnily enough I think Castillo has a better chance at beating Morales because Morales would most certainly HAVE to fight him. You see, with Corrales, Morales can fight tactically because Corrales wouldn't be able to put sustained pressure on him if he used his skills, however Castillo would pressurise and pressurise. It would be a war.

Morales v Corrales would freak me out. I think I would cheer on Erik but it would do my head in.

It would be a great fight to watch, but I would go for Corrales to win. Strong at lightweight and has beat two very impressive champions in Freitas and Castillo, he's on a roll at that weight.

I'd love to see it happen, I know Morales has a solid chin, it would be interesting to see how he'd stand up against Corrales punch at the higher weight. Another Classic war for sure

I think Corrales would win this fight quite easily. I don't think he would need to go toe to toe and could bash him up from the outside if necessary. Morales too small, he'd be stopped.

You seriously reckon Corrales could outbox Morales??? Fair play Corrales would have a height and reach advantage but dont forget Corrales is no Ray Robinson. He was getting a severe beating from Castillo before he pulled it out of the bag - and Corrales didnt turn the fight with his outside boxing, it was done with raw power.

Morales is a great technical fighter, who thinks on his feet, as well as also being a great warrior. Id pick Morales to be always one step ahead of a very game but slighty one-dimensional Corrales.

Yeah Morales for me as well, the guy is such a smart Boxer and ring technician and you cannot underestimate his resolve. I pick Morales via a Unanimous Decision.

Thing is morales has yet to go in with wot you would call a genuine superfeatherweight puncher - pacman was a blown up superbantam. Coralles is easily the biggest puncher he's met so far and if u remember he's was definitely wobbled by jesus chavez in the first round who is not really a big puncher. I'd pick corales for a late stoppage shocker. Another point is that at lightweight do u think morales can hurt corales who stood upto big hits from freitas and castillo? Morales knockout ratio got smaller and smaller with every fight he had outside supernbantam.

Morales easily, Corrales has big power but i think he would be out boxed and maybe KOd in the late rounds as he has a bad chin.
