    Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, and Marco Antonio Barrera -

    Rank these guys in overall greatness/p4p...from how they would appear in an all-time p4p list.

    2. Juan Manuel Marquez
    3. Oscar De La Hoya (Not Mexican)
    4. Erik Morales
    If Marquez had beaten a better version of Barrera or won their fight more convincenly I would have had switched th two. Marquez can still pass Barrera as well as all the great Mexican boxers if he can beat Mayweather and the winner of Pacquaio/Cotto.

    Hoya clearly no1 IMO.

    I have settled on Morales being slightly ahead of Barrera but they are essentially on the same level IMO and you could argue that one either way.

    Where Marquez sits however is a toughie...because how you see the Pac II fight, which from from the point of view any non-filipino seems widely accepted he edged out and IMO did, could change where you rank him. In fact depending on how you saw all of his losses and the first Pac fight could have even more of an impact.
    Personally I reckon he clearly beat John but clearly lost the first Pac fight.

    He will be one I will only really decide on when his career has been over for a couple of years.

    Wow...can I get an explanation there red cob?..you are a sharp poster but I find that slightly odd that Oscar is getting pwned there.

    You know, WhataRock...I agree with you!! I had just posted, and prior to that first cup of coffee, mind you, and I looked at the post..and though, "what's wrong with this picture"...I think I'll wake up first from now on before I post anything (lol)...let me revise that list
    1. Marco Antonio Barrera (I was right there, IMO)
    2. Oscar de la Hoya
    3. Erik Morales
    4. Juan Manuel Marquez
    I think this is more reasonable...

    I realize too that there's a discrepancy there...hence ODLH's autobio named "An American Son"...
