    He was also missing tons. Morales also landed hard shots all night long.

    I have Barrera winning the trilogy....but Morales has victories over Pacquiao and Junior Jones ...so they are right next to each other in my top 100

    Morales fought Barreras fight and won. Morales fought his fight in the second and dominated.

    Morales never won the first fight, second maybe but not the first.

    I have Morales ahead. I had Barrera taking the series 2-1, but Morales has the single greatest victory between them when he defeated Pacquiao. His drubbing of Jones, another guy Barrera couldn't beat, plays on my mind, too. Morales was probably better at higher weights, as well, seeing as he did well against Maidana and then Garcia in the first fight. Tough call, though.
