is this a joke? Barrera is one of my favorite fighters, but I know there is no way he ranks number 3 out of the 8.. Heck, Marquez beat him and bested Pac in 4 fights but he is last? Leonard holds wins over Duran, Hagler and Hearns but he is at 4? The only other one who holds wins over 3 of the listed is Pac, who lost to Morales and never beat Marquez clearly in 4 fights, and was totally knocked out in one of them. Your list is flawed assasin.
It's ok. At least you admitted being biased towards JMM. I am biased towards JMM too as I am towards Pac and this is how i rank them. Duran, Leonard, Pacman, Marquez, Hagler, Hearns, Barrera, Morales.
Duran Leonard Pacquaio Hagler Marquez Hearns Barrera Morales Agree with the sentiment, but the fight was at 154 rather than 147.
no it isn't a joke. i rate them for what they did in the ring, not by hype. apart from Pac for Marquez, what has he really done? the win over Barrera wasn't that good. Barrera was basically shot. and Barrera came close to beating him. he didn't best Pac 4 times. i have them both even with 2 wins apiece. Hagler beat Hearns, Duran by one point (who was way out of his weight and clearly past prime) and lost to Leonard. he has a few good wins but not much else. he gets way overrated. Leonard lost the first to Duran. didn't do anything in the rematch but run (that's why i don't rate it) got clearly dominated in the first Hearns fight, but finished him late after he tired. i don't know why so many people rate that win all that much. he lost the rematch to Hearns. it was close, but he did lose. i rate the win over Hagler though. that WAS a great win. the other is the Benitez win. other than what i listed, it's so thin it's a joke. Pac has cleaned house at so many different weights. Duran dominated his weightclass and then went on to get other big wins as the smaller man. he came close to dethroning Hagler. but he gassed at the half way mark. Morales has wins over Barrera and Pac, alongside loads of other very good wins. Barrera has 2 wins over Morales, and a win over Naz to go alongside loads of other very good wins. don't believe the hype, Mindreader. look at the substance. :good
Because of his machismo and the fact that he's the greatest Latino fighter ever so he gets a pass and can do no wrong in some people's eyes.
