If MAB pulls this off...is he the greatest Mexican fighter of all time?

But if MAB was still with Top Rank, he'd be a savior to boxing and a saint to Mexico, right?

 

Yeah, because we all know Arum is a square dealing fellow, who NEVER gets into any shady business dealings. Those federal corruption probes were just playa hatin'. :-(

 

Who am I to say, but it shure as hell wouldn't hurt his standings.

 

he might not be best of all time but he will have pulled off the greatest comeback

 

I respect MAB as a top level fighter.

But I respect Morales more as a gallant, clean fighter and as a person.

MAB giving his opponents headbutts, elbows and borderline lowblows isnt cool.

Morales may be an arrogant jackass in the ring, but at least he doesnt commit cheap shots against his opponent. Only pure competitive fistfighting.

But I gotta say, Marco's left hooks to the head and body are beautiful, elegant and dangerous all at once.

 

THe only edge JC has over Barrera right now is that he has beaten about 2X more bums in his career.

 

Chavez also never lost in his prime like Mab did twice against Junior Jones

 

He can't touch Julio Cesar Chavez. And he's one of my favorites, too.

 

Not Number 1, but darn close. Aside from JCC and maybe Sal Sanchez, I don't see anyone ranked ahead of him. I've always regarded Zarate as slightly overrated, and Olivares' prime was just too short to be considered at the very highest level. If he wins decisively, it might rank as the greatest ever win by a Mexican fighter though.

 

A win over Pac and rematch & win against Juan Manuel Marquez would seal his legacy, but hard to say if put him on greatest mexican ever.

 

Forgot about Miguel Canto. I'd say a win would put him just ahead of Canto.

 

I would put him in the top 3 - perhaps above Salvador Sanchez.

 

It probably moves him into my Top 3.

 

#3 right behind Sanchez and Chavez
