THE BIG VOTE. Who was the greatest of these stand-outs of our era?

Close between Morales, Barrera, and Marquez. I'll take out Barrera because I didn't like his dirty tactics. Morales and Marquez both had some pretty embarrassing losses. Marquez has performed better for a longer period of time, but Morales was better from the start. Morales has a win over Pacquiao, but Marquez never wilted against Pacquiao. Both were very technically skilled, and both had speed and power. In the end, a little bias will shift me towards Morales.

 

Mosley

Beat Oscar twice and has great names on his resume

 

tbh, out of that list, it would be hard not to pick joe calzaghe.

 

Mosley and Morales should both be ahead of Hoya IMO.

 

I only consider morales and barrera atg out of that list, others are close but mostly hof'ers, I pick morales over barrera so thats my pick.

 

Calzaghe would be 11th or 12th in our era IMO.

 

Calzaghe - easily.

Morales & Barrera were great but had short shelf lives and were 1 dimensional lacking the ability to adapt. Plus Calzaghe was much faster, much slicker and had greater hand speed - which should be the other way around considering those guys were much smaller.

Plus Calzaghe fought for longer. Was undefeated and undisputed two weight world champion.

Not even close. Mosley, Barrera, Morales aren't on his level. Mexicans may not like that statement but they are a true warrior race and so should at least respect someone of Joe's caliber.

 

Morales beating Pacquaio, and Barrera beating Morales alone >>>>>>> Anything Sloppy Joe ever did. :deal

No need to even bring up their superior ability.

Only delusional Caltards would vote for Calslappy

 

You do realize that Manny has lost three times, drew twice and really has lost to Marquez twice more in the eyes of many and that when Morales beat Manny roach was not training him so it's a tainted 'victory'.

Assuming the Manny of then is the Manny of now only proves you don't actually assess boxers but are more of a fan for your favourite boxer than the 'Caltards' you assume others to be.

:deal

 

he was

 

I wouldn't say Calzaghe easily at all. Sven Ottke is not mentioned and at least poses a challenge to Calzaghe in the legacy department.

 

Manny, at the time Morales fought him, had already beaten a prime Barrera who was in his prime weight. Everyone was favoring Manny to win. and Roach was training him you dumbass Sloppy Joe fanatic. :rofl

Cokezage's best win was against Mikkel Kessler

He had a close fight with a 43 year old B-Hops, and many people (rightfully so) had Hops winning. And Sloppy Joe was too much of a ***** to give him a rematch and instead fought shot to peices Roy Jones :deal

Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Mosley, Winky, and Tito are all above that eurobum. :deal

 

And would you say the Roach trained Manny of then is as good as the Roach trained Manny of now? :think

 

Barrera probably for me.

 

Even though many may say Hopkins won the official judging and majority of fans feel joe won. And has anyone else beaten Hopkins since? And didn't Hopkins just beat the undisputed LHW champion in the eyes of the majority?

Are Marales and Barrera undefeated? Are they multiple weight undisputed world champions?
