Erik Morales Plans a Fall Return
Posted by Salvador Rodriguez on 07.03.2009
'El Terrible' looking for a September or October fight.
In a telephone conversation with Record, Erik Morales said that his planned return to the ring for August is now being pushed back to either late September or early October.
"I had some issues with a few opponents who didn't want to come to Tijuana but I'll continue with my quest to return to the ring at junior welterweight and then look for a fourth world title at lightweight at the end of this year or early next year," expressed Morales.
Morales, who turns 33 in September looks to return possibly the week after Juan Manuel Marquez tangles with Floyd Mayweather Jr. or during the first two weeks of October. Erik will begin training in August in the mountains of Temoaya in Mexico State where he will remain before he returns to the ring - his first fight since losing a close decision to David Diaz in 2007.
I would stay retired if I were him but who am I or anyone else to tell a person what to do with their life?
Unlikely things have occured in the past, such as George Foreman winning the heavyweight title at age 45.
We shall soon find out.

Ima huge "El Terrible" fan but this is not a good idea. Hes been in too many wars and by his last few performances it was obvious they had caught up with him and his best days are behind him.
