Who do you rate higher: BARRERA or MORALES?

FINITO..it's the truth.

Just as according to ESB. Manny is the best 126lb of the last 20 years despite only having 1 notable win at that weight. atsch:rofl

 

hmm says... I picked Barrera. I felt that Barrera had more passion as a boxer... hell he did try to make a comeback. Comparing the two, you can argue who was the better fighter which I would say Morales..... However you can tell that Morales started to lose his hunger in boxing quite early.... Remember his escapades of looking plump/fat, etc... Like the other poster said.. Barrera was the more sensible boxer...

 

Barrera...but I am biased

 

Barrera was technically the better fighter, not just the more sensible.

 

but morales has better ABILITY

 

I think Barrera was a better boxer than Morales, and also displayed a better defense in all three of their fights together.

 

Manny pacquiao would disagree. :bart

 

hmm says... yeah you can say that. I was just going for overall style I liked. His style is what appealed to many and I think that's why people are picking Morales over Barrera on this poll.

 

Styles make fights, I was referencing the trilogy Morales and Barrera had together. Barrera displayed a better defense, and even in the second fight with Pacquiao. Barrera took very few combination's on the chin. Marco was the better technical fighter in my estimation, and the fact he went 2-1 in the trilogy gives him the nod for me. Barrera may have lost to fighters Morales beat, but he always bounced back with a great performance.

 

Junior Jones would also disagree with this one. :nono

 

agree, in their three fights, morales fought barrera in barrera's own style and morales gave a good account of himself...

to have a great ability, you must not be dominated...or if dominated, ask for a immediate rematch to set the records straight

 

hmm says... I'm thinking he's referring to their 2nd bout to emphasize technicality/ his ability to be a tactician.

 

I'd rather get knocked out by Junior Jones than outboxed by Freddie ****in Norwood.

 

Morales beat everyone who beat Barrera and beat Barrera. MORALES!

 

Righteous indeed.. Asking for an immediate rematch to set the record straight is a MUST.
