    ...Jesus christ, I'm not asking you to go by criteria. I'm asking you to respect mine and stop saying, "Look at what everyone else thinks".

    Equal on my criteria? Dude, that doesn't make sense. The only clear distinction between the two is Resume and Achievements, both by Barrera. Longevity is even, and...to be honest, so is ability.

    I know, I'm just being a **** and picky. I thought you should have been a litttle more discerning when setting out the criterea for longevity.

    HAve you guys read Stonehands essay on Booker?

    Yes, you are.

    Go watch more than four fights of Barrera and then come back.

    No cause Barrera was already faded by his 11th year, Lopez in his 11th year was still unbeatable and hadnt really slipped. ABility Lopez

    Resume- well like i said Better comp Barrera Better record in title defenses and going undeafeated Lopez= slight edge to Barrera

    Achievement Barrera TOtal a tie ! by your criteria.

    And **** it, I'll say it then, the Journeyman Barrera was fighting after his second loss to Pacquiao are probably on the same level as half of Lopez's scalps! ...THERE!

    Thanks, only problem being Anarci seems to think Barrera only holds a slight edge in the resume department...and says their achievements are even...despite Marco beating more accomplished fighters, and in a wider span of divisions. He seems to think Ability is clearly Lopez.

    Calm down, I just was on a total different discussion on longevity. You have made a good case and you have a good list.

    And I do need to watch more Barrera, but do you comment on fights you have seen 4 fights or less than?

    I think most great fighters I have seen about at least 3 or 4 fights before I begin to talk about them.
