    Sounds about right at first glance, though, ranking fighters on an all-time list like this is difficult business.

    I actually don't rate Erick Morales OR Eric Morales. But I do, however, rank Erik Morales;)

    Very difficult, especially when you get past 50 and into the 70s, 80s, and 90s. So many things to consider.

    Out of curiosity, where do you rank Barrera and Pacquiao?

    Plus, I concede, there are way too many fighters I know far too little about to make a fair assessment, and even some of the better historical experts on this site probably fall victim of this to some extent.

    It's just not possible to know enough about every great fighter who ever laced up the gloves, and much of what we go by pertaining to older fighters stems exclusively from literature and other first hand materials pertaining to what they accomplished.

    Very difficult, indeed.

    That said, saying Morales is between 75-100 seems fair at first glance.

    Probablly around 60-80 same area with Barrera. Morales status is pretty much set as his career is done as a serious fighter. Hes beat several World Champions and HOFers. Daniel Zargoza,Junior Jones,Marco Antonio Barrera,Paulie Ayala,Wayne McCullogh,Kevin Kelly,InJin Chi,Jesus Chavez and Manny Pacquiao. So hes beat 3 guys basically guaranteed to be in the HOF. So many fights agianst world class oppostion and only 6 defeats only 2 in his prime.
