    I feel like Morales will be remembered signficantly more, because of his win over Manny and his attitude. Thoughts?

    Significantly? No way

    Slightly? yes

    The win over Pac is great, but don't forget MAB beat him 2 outta 3 and has a big W ove the Prince..

    I thought MAB won the rematch against Jones, Mkkinney also knocked out Jones before Morales got to him

    LOL..

    I scored MAB vs Moorales 2 8 rounds to 4 for Erik.. IMO it was the the biggest robbery of the 3 fights.. blatently setup to make money for the third fight.

    MAB got schooled by eriks jab in their second fight.

    Barrera is the better fighter. Morales is the true warrior.

    I like Morales better. I became a boxing fan during Morales's golden years.

    I dont think Barreris the better fighter technically.. Barrera was just mentally stronger and could resist the urge to get into a slugfest and keep boxing.. erik could not.

    Yeah Warrior. His 1st reaction no matter what situation he was in was to fight and keep fighting. He could be half way in la la land he would still punch you back.

    Thats a true Warrior's mark.

    Morales a G.

    none of these guys gets ranked way higher then the other, they both deserve it to be ranked near the other guy. I think morales' win over pac gives him the edge in this one.

    I think I'd rate MAB higher by just a tad. Holding two wins over Morales, huge win over Hamed. Not to mention, his game showing against JMM. These two wil forever be joined at the hip, but I think MAB is just a smidge ahead.
