    Who do you rate higher

    I find this easy for me- Morales everytime


    Better wins
    Tougher
    Willing to sacrifice more
    More skillful

    For me, the answer is clearly MAB.

    I had him winning all 3 of their encounters.

    Morales

    Beat Barrera and all 3 fights were very close, even though the 3rd fight at best for Morales was a draw

    Conquered Pacquiao and Junior Jones, something Barrera couldn't do with each fighter twice

    Both are 3 division champions and Barrera has that big win over the Prince but other than that there is not much seperating them.

    The win over Pacquiao is the deciding factor and that is why Morales is the greater fighter.

    how is it? i consider that

    for example how barrera went out to pacman and how morales went out to diaz.

    for me

    their fights with each other

    if we take the biggest wins

    Morales over pacman is bigger than Barreras over naz.

    on top of that morales has fought better opponents otherwise.

    I have to go with Barrera because he was on top for longer, and beat morales in their head to head series.

    I disagree on each one of these points, I think Barrera edges Morales in every category

    Indeed it's very close but like you said, wins over Pacquiao and Jones make the difference.
