    On a side note, just watching the Barrera v Morales 1 fight

    Barrera was 4-1 against, morales 5-1 on! Crazy odds. All based on the Junior Jones fights?

    Anyway, ther man is a legend

    Also, within the last 10-12 years, where would you rate Marco as a combination puncher? He throws some of the most beautiful combos Ive seen, and all with some devil in them.

    Still think Barrera won the first fight, mind you I had Morales winning the second.

    I did too :good But the Hamed performance was one of the most complete of his career also. He was so "on" that night it was unreal :lol: Just glad I got to see him fight live, even if it was in that ****ed up contest against Khan. Although I dont remember much!

    I had Barrera beating Morales in all 3 fights. The first fight was a complete joke. The second one could have swung either way so wasn't really a robbery at all, although I had him 2 rounds up. The third was easily his.

    like someone said before I went to watch him fight live (Against Khan) and although the decision was daft and I didn't agree with it at all, it was a pleasure going just so that I could say 'I saw him live'

    Barrera is one of the best combination punchers of the last 20 years in my estimation. He's so smooth, and he's effective at throwing to the head as well as the body. He's right up there for me.

    I think a case can be argued for either fighter in the FIRST & THIRD fights... its the 2nd fight that had a clear winner in my view & that was Morales.

    Its your opinion of course but IMO that 2nd fight was a clear Morales win.

    Very coincidental. The third fight is widely regarded as the only clear verdict in the trilogy. A morales' fan disagrees? Can't say I'm shocked.

    Addie to be fair thats what I was thinking (The third fight thing that is - Don't know Bill enough to know he was a Morales supporter) However he could just say, 'oh a Barrera fan thinks differently :lol:
