A sad, sad, headline for a story

On Boxingscene:

"Erik Morales' Father Expects Big Win over Willie Limond"

I read it. It was too sad to post here. When his dad is referring to a "BIG WIN OVER WILLIE LIMOND", I wish Morales had stayed retired, and we didn't have to see all of this.

Morales and Barerra-the allure of the Mexican boxing holy grail is too much for them.

Maybe a decade or so ago when I was lamenting some great fighter staying too long a boxing writer wrote "Fighter fight. It's what they do and who they are."

Very sad, but probably a great deal of truth in it.

I just hope Terrible isn't terribly damaged in his later years.

Barerra's fight with Khan was an ill-conceived idea.

The more recent chase for the Mexican holy grail by Barerra seems to have a purpose. Get a shot at Soto (best shot Barerra has at winning another belt).

I feel like Barerra will not get permanently damaged chasing his goal (somehow he'll get through relatively unscathed).

Morales-I worry about him. He doesn't have a path that will be doable. I fear that he is going to be rather damaged in his later years if he doesn't give up this charade.

Hopefully, Juan Manuel and Rafael Marquez don't end up in a similar discussion pretty soon. Both of those mexican warriors need to start considering life beyond boxing.

very true all the posts..theres big money today and they should of saved some and be debt free.unfortunetly boxers have a history thinking they will be forever young..all the mexican fighters mention are on the path of that one fight too many..in the ring they dont quit.hopefully someone can get it across to them retireing is not quiting cause its not in there heart to do that.
