Just 4 months after his third fight with Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales entered a highly anticipated duel that sparked public interest. El Terrible's rival is the sensational Filipino Manny Pacquiao. In 2003, Pacquiao defeated Barrera in the rank of an outsider at 3 to 1. In 2004, he knocked down Juan Manuel Marquez three times in the first round, but he was deprived of the victory in that fight due to a mistake by the referee in counting the round, which resulted in a draw. Boxing triangles are usually of little significance, but it was hard to ignore the fact that just 4 months prior to the Morales vs Pacquiao fight, Morales lost to Barrera, whom Pacquiao had beaten a year earlier. Nevertheless, Morales has already mastered the first lightweight division and even became the world champion with two titles, But for Pacquiao, it was a debut in this division.
