    He looks like a heavy that should be a Featherweight

    He's drawn more fights than he's won!

    I think that's a sign he fights as the away fighter more than anything. I'd make the guess a lot of those draws probably should of been wins.
    One of those draws is with Seth Mitchell btw !, and infact most of his draws are over guys with pretty decent winning records, and a couple of the guys he beat too.

    I've know I've seen Morales fight but can't remember much about him, but looking at his record and taking into account how horribly overweight he is, the fact he's always the away fighter and his level of opposition, he's bound to be a pretty skilled guy.
    Would be interesting to see what he'd be like if he got into shape and had a go at Light-Heavyweight/Super-Middleweight.

    Always going to be a "what if". You can't inject work ethic. No pro boxer should be that overweight.

    It's possible to be fat and fit. Roy Nelson in MMA is another example; he looks grossly overweight but actually has a pretty serious gas tank.

    Nelson was pretty impressive but carrying that weight catches up with you. He was awful in his last fight. Gassed after 1-2 minutes.
