    I still believe that Morales was better at 122 than either of them was at any weight.

    I believe Morales ranks higher, due to his accomplishments post-Barrera trilogy.
    Handing Pac his 1st loss at that level (yeah, i know he'd already been stopped twice at lower weights.....but face it; Pac was a wrecking machine from his dismantling of Barrera onwards, and Erik stopped him in his tracks with that incredible victory)...
    Then after getting brutally stopped several times and retiring with suspected brain trauma, he then came back at a higher weight class and fought some tough opponents (including taking current 147lb champ El Chico Maidana deep in the trenches and nearly handing him a loss)......
    Not great but still impressive accomplishments, especially considering his exceptional career before all this.

    marquez is only a 3 weight world champion he never won a title at 140 i dont count interm titles.

    and i dont marquez is good enough to beat any other welterweight right now they are just too big.

    I thought Barrera had more skills but Morales won more on his grit. I'm not saying Barrera wasn't a tuff sob, he was. Morales on the other hand had some good skills but was not as polished. He made up for it with his warriors heart. I have to rank El Terrible higher!:bbb

    Morales, Marquez, Barrera but Joan Guzman goes in front of them because they ducked him.
