    JMM definitely comes 3rd on my list, and Oscar 4th.

    Choosing between Morales and Barrera is so difficult.

    It's a toss-up. Barrera got the better of the trilogy whereas Morales got the better of some common opponents. Dead even.

    I'm with you.

    Then Morales has the win over Pacquiao, and Barrera has the win over Hamed, and there are other overlapping factors that come into play to that, when taken as a whole, make things appear even more even to me.

    How did you score their second encounter? Do you go along with the idea that it was a robbery?

    Dont embarass yourself, those two opponents are not comparable.
    Hamed is a 3rd tier fighter when you compare him to Manny Pacroid.

    Don't embarrass yourself. Only a complete ****wit would be quick to condemn Pacquiao as a drugs cheat without any significant proof whatsoever. Seriously.

    Dont give me this crap about no proof.
    This was the only evidence I needed. Pacquiao himself condemned himself.


    Btw Addie, you're taking points others make too personal. Have a little more respect with your choice of words.

    Dude...you refuse to call Manny Pacquiao by his actual name. Why would I or any other poster treat your opinions with any kind of respect? Drop this "Pacroid" shite and you'll be greeted with a completely different tone altogether.

    And not that I have to tell you, but that video proves absolutely nothing.

    Marquez ranks higher then Barrera and is the superior fighter, Addie mad at this fact.

    All though all 3 mexicans are bad asses... just morales and marquez stand out.

    JMM most certainly did beat MAB, but at that point Barrera was far more shopworn and JMM was still extremely close to his prime, whereas Barrera had clearly slipped a bit from his. Forget the age, these are simply facts. JMM is still elite now, whereas Barrera is far from and this only further assists illustrating the point.

    That takes nothing away from JMM's victory. He was tremendous that night.

    But I don't think that fight alone helps define their legacies.

    Both guys were tremendous, but for me Morales and Barrera edge JMM out.

    You've said it all, Rumsfeld.

    Marco Antonio Barrera not only started out as a professional far earlier than Juan Manuel Marquez, but he also delved into World Class territory a lot earlier also. This is a man who turned professional at age 15 and who already had over 20 wins to his name before JMM had even stepped into a professional ring. These facts are often forgotten.

    Barrera also finished the world class level earlier then JMM, and JMM is still world class and Elite and has been Top P4P for a very long time now and he ain't done yet. Regardless of the decision of 2 close fights the performance Marquez had with 2 versions of Pacquiao that most call the best fighter of this era is a big boost to his Greatness as well.

    I mean I won't tell you your opinion is wrong as you are entitled to it...but all 3 are so close... for me Marquez and Morales just stand out.. looking at skills, longevity and his performances against great opposition he just ranks higher to me then barrera... Picking between Morales and Marquez would be a tough one... but good thing is JMM ain't done and when Morales and Marquez finish, we can get a better gauge.

    for now

    Morales/Marquez
    Barrera
