    I never heard that so I dont know for sure, but its very possible. I think too many people think morales is an ******* over the barrera stuff but he was good friends with Pac after their fights and you have to be a secure/confident and humble person to be friends with someone after they kick your ass.

    cant remember where i heard it. i heard morales puts loads of money into his community and provided clean running water. he also donates his salary by putting it back into his community:good

    He's significantly behind the other two. Morales and Barrera are no-brainer ATGs. Marquez is a fringe hall of famer. Just my opinion anyway.

    Had he beaten Pac and John, he might be in the same vicinity, but he didn't officially beat them, and I didn't think he beat them either.

    JMM avoided Hamed when he was hamed's challenger , Barerra beat hamed.
    i think it means something. also : if you are going to say JMM got the better outcomes against pacquiao , think again and then remember JMM was knocked down 3 times in the first round of their first fight. what does this mean ? a stoppage loss to some. remider : 3 knockdown rule. not always it is in effect , but had it been , you know what would have happened.
    Morales stopped Junior Jones who stopped Barerra once (ended by DQ b/c of barerra's corner cheating and entering the ring) and beat him the other time.
    morales was also destroyed by pacquiao twice , narrowly outpointing him in their first encounter. so , i'd say :
    1. Pac
    2. Morales
    3. Barerra
    4. JMM

    I agree with this part! I like JMM, and think highly of him and appreciate what he has brought to boxing! But I rate EM and MAB well ahead of him. I generally don't rate guys that are still active, but don't see anyway JMM will be remembered as highly as the Barrera or Morales..IMO

    Yeah in some article I read since he retired it said he worked managing the city recreation department and donated back his salary.

    Much higher. Marquez was strong, but he is not in the level of those two guys.

    He has had a very good career and i would not rule him out of having another big win before he is done.I dont see him overtaking Barrera or Morales though.
