    So you are telling me Marquez is nowhere near Barrera, Morales and Pacquiao?
    Yet he beat Barrera, Pac twice, and arguably 3 times. 38 and has never been stopped, 38 and just beat the #1 ranked fighter in the world :lol:, It's 4 vs 4. :deal

    You have Barrera 3-0 vs Morales, I have Marquez 3-0 vs Pacquiao, I decide who wins. Hagler beat Leonard, Direll beat Froch, Kotelnik beat Judah, Marquez beat Pacquiao 3, and if it's too close I toss a coin. :deal

    Why would you list Pacquiao-Barrera 1 on there? That was a massacre. Pacquiao-Marquez 2-3, Barrera-Morales 3, Pacquiao-Morales 1-2, and Barrera-Marquez were all better.

    The 80s had the bigger events and greater fighters, but the 00s had the more competitive and entertaining bouts.

    Pacquiao-Barrera 1 is not better than any of the following 9 IMO. The 10th best out of the 12 fights.

    Barrera vs Morales 1
    Barrera vs Morales 2
    Marquez vs Pacquiao 1
    Barrera vs Morales 3
    Morales vs Pacquiao 1
    Morales vs Pacquiao 2
    Marquez vs Barrera
    Marquez vs Pacquiao 2
    Marquez vs Pacquiao 3

    EM-MP 3, MAB-MP 2, MAB-MP 1, my list favorites. of the 9.

    EM-MP 3 on par with RD-TH
    MAB-MP 2 on par with SRL-RD 3

    The 2000 Fab 4 consistently had more entertaining, competitive fights.

    Leonard-Duran 1 and Hagler-Hearns were excellent fights. Leonard-Hearns 1 was good for the shifts in momentum, the amazing skill/talent level of the two fights, and the magnitude of the event. The action level wasn't consistent, there was even some booing around the 10th, 11th round because the action was minimal. The rematch was an entertaining fight between two fading greats. Hagler-Duran was an okay fight, high skills on both sides. Leonard-Duran 2 was alright with a terrible ending. The rubber match was atrocious. Leonard-Hagler was a great event and pretty good fight. Hearns-Duran was a massacre.

    Barrera-Morales 1 was amazing. The rematch was OK. The 3rd fight was very good. Pacquiao-Morales 1 and 2 were very good fights. Third was a massacre. All 3 Pacquiao-Marquez fights were good and competitive. Barrera-Marquez was a good competitive fight. Pacquiao-Barrera 1 was an action-friendly massacre, and the rematch was dull.

    The 80s Fab 4 had the better events and greater fighters, but the 00s Fab 4 had the more entertaining bouts.

    Barrera was dying to pull a no mas against Pac.Just didn't have the sack or egomaniacal idiocy to do it himself in the middle of the ring.
