On 24 October 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from Érik Morales to Erik Morales. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The writer seems to have gotton the Jesus Chavez & Carlos Hernandez fights mixed up. Chavez is the one who was dropped twice & injured his hand, only throwing left hands down the stretch
Also, Saying that Morales "has never been punched to the canvas" is misleading. Morales has been down. He was called for a knockdown during the 12th round of the classic first bout with Barrera. Althought most feel it was an incorrect decision by the referee & not a legitimate knock down. Technically, he has been punched to the canvas.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatpom ( talk • contribs) 03:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
kudos to the author of the chronology section. i'm a boxing fan but i don't have the time to compile such information. i would appreciate such a chronology on every fighter's entry. Streamless 15:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the super feather and light weight divisions are the same, the are not separate, it should either be one or the other, or a slash or something.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.228.60 ( talk) 02:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Wow, I just browsed the article and the style of writting is terrible, the POV issues in it are ridiculous, instances like: Morales defeated his hated rival Marco Antonio Barrera, Morales dominated the fight against Jesús Chávez in 2004 and Morales wins the WBC Super Featherweight Title after humiliating Jesús Chávez in their bout in 2004 and section titles like: Unexpected loss to Raheem and Shocked by Pacquiao are just unacceptable specially in an article about someone often regarded as a legend. -- Caribbean~H.Q. 04:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Per consensus. As argued, there seems to be a wide use of the non-accented version, including the subject's own social accounts. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 10:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
– All reliable secondary sources use the unaccented "Erik Morales" when referring to this boxer ( [1] [2] [3]). This isn't just a case of English-language media omitting accents either, as Spanish-language sources also use "Erik" ( [4] [5]). 162 etc. ( talk) 08:25, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
