    • Morales would win via decision, ala versus Poison Jones, would fight from the outside using his long arms and movement. Barrera (who fought both) didn't give a straight answer on who would win between EM and JMM, but he said something like, you have to anger Morales to get him out of his rhythm hence the provocation he did to him even from before the actual fight and JMM wouldn't do those stunts. So likewise with Loma.
    • Barrera, 50/50. MAB could always fight dirty when needed. Salido fought dirty. I think MAB was also the best of the three for close/short range fighting, and his sundae punch would had more chances of landing on Loma.
    • JMM, 60/40 in favor of Loma. Look how faded MAB was able to floor JMM and bloodied both his left and right brows, JMM was not really that impressive against technical/high IQ boxers. He didn't have that hulk-punching power at the lower weights yet too. Compare, Teo should be the bigger puncher, which deterred Loma for many rounds.

    I think Morales would lose a wide decision. I think Loma's style with a bunch of feints, probes and pivots would be problematic for Morales. I think Marquez beats him. Loma IMO struggles with counter punching and fighters who will match his pivoting. I think Marquez can adopt a similar game plan Teofimo had and win. I know people will say Loma was injured which is true but Teofimo also exposed flaws in Loma's game. If you can control distance, counterpunch well and match Loma when he tries to pivot you out of position, you can beat him. Marquez can do all of those things. Barrera vs Loma is 50/50 but I slightly favor Loma. I could see the pressure and body work giving Loma issues but I can definitely see the speed and overall athleticism of Loma giving Barrera even more issues.

    Loma would beat Marquez and Morales easily but Barrera was a beast with amazing handspeed and brilliant combos but Loma was far better on a technical level than MAB so I`d pick him in that fight too.

    I think he beats Marquez & Barrera
    Not sure he would have beat Terrible in his prime.

    Even still 2 out of 3 ain’t bad!
