Erik Morales considers fighting Pacquiao

Two-time world champion Erik ?El Terible? Morales, said he will consider a fight with International Boxing Federation superbantamweight champion Manny Pacquiao while saying Mexican rival Marco Antonio Barrera’s ?inconsistency caught up with him.?

?Right now all I’m thinking about is winning the 130-lb championship and going back to 126 is not an option, but if they were to talk about something in between I would listen and then make a decision, because I think a fight with him would be good and of interest to the public,? Morales in an interview with boxing Web site fightnews.com said.

Pacquiao’s name shot up again into world consciousness after stopping the favored Barrera in the 11th round of their 12-round bout with 2:56 left. Barrera’s cornermen stopped the so-called ?People’s Champion? before the General Santos native could inflict more punishment on him.
