    floyd and oscar never really reached or proved there true ability IMO. pbf hasnt had enough tests against great opposition. oscar lost a lot of his desire for the game when he stepped up to to greatness in 1999-2000. his performances would of been a lot better in the fights against tito, ike and shane

    They are still ahead of the mexicans though. MAB and MOrales maximised there potential

    Hoya -Like Hatesrats says, Alcazar version was a lethal machine. Hard to top.
    Mayweather -the most techincally sound of the four but the least likely to impress a crowd. Had Mayweather been given more power he would be a scary ass unstoppable force.
    Barrera -Great skill and entertaining, knows when to commit and when to not commit unlike Morales who is all commitment.
    Morales -All heart and commitment can often get you knocked the **** out. Oh well, Morales was impressive but I like Barrera better. Their first fight is one of the all time greatest fights

    Floyd is tops with Dlh 2nd, Barrera 3rd, and Morales 4th. #1 Floyd is undefeated, #2 Dlh fought the best comp so you will win and lose some of those fights, #3 Barrera beat some very good fighters in his prime, and Morales beat Pac and a few good fighters.

    1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
    2. Oscar De La Hoya
    3. Erik Morales
    4. Marco Antonio Barrera

    DLH, EM, and MAB are all very close though. I don't think any of them were as good as PBF at 130, who at that weight was pretty amazing.

    1. Mayweather (Great fighter not much needed to be said)
    2. Barrera (I scored Barrera winning all three fights against Morales)
    3. Morales (Good fighter had his share of wars good boxer overall)
    4. De La Hoya (Lost to pretty much good fighters all the time)
