Ryan Garcia’s bout with Manny Pacquiao has stirred the combat sports world. Although the fight isn’t official yet, it has still become the talk of the town. A huge chunk of boxing enthusiasts and experts are keen on viewing this fight. But, a certain amount of fans and fighters are still not enticed and feel the fight may not be competitive.

Recently, Erik Morales, the former four-division champ and ‘Pacman’s rival, detailed his ideas on this fight. Talking to ESPN KnockOut, he said, “Pacquiao with Ryan is a very lopsided fight. Even though (Manny) is old, he can put Ryan to bed in two rounds,” (Translated by Boxing News 24).

Morales fought Manny Pacquiao twice and is well-versed with his skill sets. Even though the Filippino Senator is pretty old compared to ‘KingRy’, ‘El Terrible’ still believes he can knock Garcia out cold.

Garcia is an extremely active fighter. He is one of the brightest in boxing at present, and as a world title mandatory, he has the chance to prove that he is the real deal.

‘KingRy’ has cited Pacquiao as a legend and revealed that it was his dream to touch gloves with ‘Pacman’. However, Morales feels his dream fight can turn into a dreadful outing as ‘Pacman’ is still a highly scary pugilist.

If the duo steps into the ring together, it will undeniably be a treat to watch. The young Garcia will look to break into Pacquiao’s guard in every way possible, but it won’t be so easy for him.
