high-altitude Big Bear, CA. While there, Morales sparred with WBC 130 lb. champ
Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather. According to a Los Angeles newspaper, for two

Mayweather didn't like it one bit and stormed out angry.
Go Figure.

This happens frequently during sparring sessions. Because of obvious reasons,
usually it's the bigger guy being peppered by the smaller guy.
Funny things start to happen when they switch from 16 oz. gloves to 8 oz.
gloves though.

If it is true what DD says, then it isn't so much that Morales was
"better" but the fact that Mayweather couldn't handle not being right
about his defensive moves that Morales found lacking. Instead of
running off like a little girl, Mayweather should have had the balls
to ask Morales what he would recommend to do to refine some of his
moves. In looking at both fighters, Mayweather has more talent but
Morales seems to be a little better in the core basics/techniques.
Everyone can learn something from everyone.

learning what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. It
sounded as if he learned something in the ring with Erik Morales.
Floyd is second to only Zab Judah in potential IMO and he's only been a
champion less than a year now and has already beaten two very good
boxers(Genaro Hernandez/Angel Manfredy) in fairly easy fashion.
Although Morales is only a few months older than Floyd he's much more
experienced and is one of the top pound for pound boxers in his own
right and being outclassed in sparring against him is no insult.

Yep, like a little girl.

Well, we could argue about that. Mayweather seems more versatile so
far, but ppp Morales hits harder in my opinion.

Morales even beat Pacquiao, in his prime (in both
men's primes). I remember that as a very close and
hard fight in which Pac-Man got cut, big.
Freddie Roach blamed the cut, which certainly
influenced the outcome, but nevertheless Morales
fought a very clever and hard fight.
Morales boxed and moved well but didn't go unmarked
from the show.
Morales stamina, even for a Mexican fighter, must have
been super-human at that time.
After that Pac-Man beat Morales twice in more
Pac-sided affairs which were similar to many of
Manny's fights back then. The other guys just weren't
in the fights until they were out of it...
Morales was always angry at Barrera and sometimes
Marquez was angry at Morales AND Barrera (for not
fighting him, which Barrera ultimately did, and lost),
but as far as I know, none of these gentlemen were
ever angry with the true and ever gentleman kid,
namely Manny Pacquiao. (Barrera also fought and lost
to Pac-Man in very unhealthy fights for him.)
