Have you ever met Sweet Scientist or Mantequilla?? Two of the elite posters of this forum, and I'm pretty sure neither have MAB or Erik in their century!
You can search for my top 120 fighters alltime if you like..its floating somewhere on here in the classic. It has its flaws, as I just rushed it towards the end. MAB was in the top 100 but got pushed out by other fighers eventually. If Mante and sweet see no room for Marco inside the top100, then I feel pretty comfortable about him being just outside mine.
I don't think individual top 100 lists hold much weight on the grand scale of things. The only definitive conclusion they come to is that every fighter on the list has achieved greatness, in some form or another. We can all agree that both Morales and Barrera certainly did that.
They are your own personal lists in the end..and outside the top50 and it could go any way you like really, depending on what criteria you put the most emphasis on.
My point exactly. I mean, to me, Barrera was the best. I would pay to see him before any other fighter in history, and I'm more joyous when wins than any other fighter. More talented fighters have been and gone, sure, but I think this sport is so dear to us because we do find fighters to root for. That lasts forever.
