    I think ranking these three in any sort of order is one of the toughest questions in boxing.

    Do you agree or do you think there is a clear way to separate them?

    Both of you rank Marquez clearly at No 1?

    I'm sure their daddy PAC can chip in on who's the better son.

    Marquez has surpassed Morales and Barerra so it now looks like:

    Marquez
    Morales
    Barerra

    But Barerra and Morales can be in any order.

    I think it is clear to seperate Marquez from Morales and Barrera... and adding to the fact he has been a P4P great for so long still operates at a high level unofficially became the WW champ at 147 vs one of the best of this generation couple that with his always facing the highest ranked contenders in all the weight classes he has been in, been n with very best.. Pacquiao x3.. mayweather, still has a lot left, will be picking up a career making belt at 140... and possibly defending it against Rios/Peterson in July... then getting another crack at Pac...

    I rank Marquez higher then Morales Barerra,for Longevity, skill, performances against top level opposition, and P4P consistently at the top for many years..

    But Morales also fought the very best. He won his first title against the legend Zaragoza and whooped guys like Junior Jones, Ayala. Also has wins over prime Barrera and Pacquiao which is something Marquez doesn't have. I also felt he beat Maidana even though he was shot and faded.

    Morales also won 41 straight fights. He didn't have disappointing performances such as Marquez's v Norwood

    Which is why I clearly rank Morales at Number 2...

    You also Mention the Maidana which I though was an Amazing feat in which I felt was a close win for him...

    Same can be said about Marquez, he clearly beat a WW beast in Pacquiao unofficially, at the most prime anyone has ever faced him of the 3 mexicans, and he did it at 38 years old as a Light weight moving up to Welter weight... if he would have gotten the win... threads like this wouldn't need to be created as people would rank Marquez very high.

    Exactly that one fight alone destroys alot of his fellow mexicans Performances hell even Number 2 of JMM pac...

    Marquez career and his Legacy over his other Mexican counter parts has a lot to with Skills, Longevity, performances against top level opposition like PAC, and always facing highest ranked contenders and giving them hell. A much needed career defining win over Pacquiao at WW, would have propeled him to Mexican greatness Top 3.. Not once being stopped, not once clearly losing only to one man, and we all know no one has his number as he is one of the best of this Generation like PAC.

    Marquez number 1 man..

    Marquez PACQUIAO best Trilogy of this or any ERA in the world :good thanks to the pilipino for Bringing out the best of Marquez and in turn showing his great skills as well... in all 3 stages they have brought out the best of each other..

    This trilogy will propel both of each others legacy into legendary status... Everyone knows Pacquiao made his career Vs Morales and Barrera... but he made himself into a legend with his great performances against one of Mexico's best and top technicians to ever come out of Mexico... to much hate goes on because of *******s but props is given rightfully to the great rivalrly that makes our Emotions boil over..

    Barrera
    Morales
    Marquez

    All 3 are warriors and there's not much in it between the 3 of them.

    JMM number 1 by quiet a bit IMO. He has achieved more and will likely win at least another title before retiring!
