    Marquez is better than Morales or Barrera ever were, IMO.

    The loss to Pacquiao is an embarassing way to go out, but it doesn't take away from what Oscar accomplished prior. He was at least as skilled as the rest of them and more accomplished than any. I'll give him the edge over JMM.

    I can tell you right now, that if Marquez beats Mayweather, that will be the one sign ificant accomplishment of JMM's that would put him at the top of my list...even at the expense of MBB, but Barrera will always be a favorite of mine for the humbing/schooling/classic boxing exhibitio he laid on Hamed. However, JMM would indeed be #1 if he beats Mayweather, a fighter I absolutely despise.

    Yeah, I ignored the ODLH not being a Mexican and just rated hem on the basis of them being fighters of the same era.

    THE ONE WHO ASKED IF DLH HAS DUAL NATIONALITY, YES HE HAS I KNOW IT !!! And I ranked them like these...

    1) DLH (Clearly)
    2) Morales
    3) Marquez
    4) Barrera

    This is how I would rank them too, although Marquez can clearly leap frog a few places depending on how the rest of his career pans out.
