    If it was your job to select 3 fights for great fighters for a tv program what 3 would you pick for for some of the greats. Keep in mind that the fights should be performances that show their greatness to the audience.

    The fight could possibly even be ruled a loss.For instance I would rank Morales second fight with Barrera his greatest fight because I think he won that fight. And it was a great performance vs a great boxer. Their first fight I thought was basically a draw and I might call that his third greatest fight. And his Pac win maybe number 2.

    I don't think he did. Barrera landed and threw more punches. I guess it's an unpopular opinion, but he clearly won the fight. For me personally, I had it as a draw going into the 11th and Barrera won the last 2 rounds to make it 115-113

    I scored the second fight for Morales it was not as good as the first fight and Barrera changed his tactics part way through the fight, but it has been awhile since I watched it. The first fight Was a draw for me. The third fight Barrera had a much easier time after he damaged Morales nose.

    After more considering I would rank Moreales top 3 performances.


    1. Barrera first fight
    2. pacquiao first fight
    3. Barrera second fight.
