Erik Morales agrees, he is insane in the membrane

Morales already had created a Hall of Fame career for himself, and fought himself into the pantheon of Mexican greats.

The answer is simple.

?I enjoy the fights I am in,? said Morales. ?I love to make them into fights.?

An honest answer from one of our era’s purest warriors.

Some have called him crazy for returning to boxing, and Morales agrees.

September 17thMorales will fight Argentina?s Luca Matthysse in Las Vegas, as part of the supporting bouts to Floyd Mayweather?s return to the ring against Victor Ortiz. Matthysse is a rugged opponent, most boxers would like to avoid.

Some have called him crazy for returning to boxing and fighting Matthyssee and Marco Maidana ? another rough fighter from Argentina which Morales lost a tight decision to earlier in the year.

Morales agrees, he is crazy.

?I read on the Internet that people think I am crazy,? said Morales. ?I want you to know, I am crazy, but crazy for this sport.?

Crazy or not, one thing can be assured, when the fighting pride of Tijuana, Mexico enters a ring, he gives all that he has to make a memorable fight, and you can be assured he will do the same come September.
