Where Does Marco Antonio Barrera Rank All Time?

one of the best resumes in boxing, although the Junior Jones part of his resume takes him down a few notches.

 

Right ahead of Morales

Comparable to Oscar's, above the other three resume-wise. Where you rank him all time is such a personal thing... top 50 for sure. Maybe top 25.

 

Junior Jones was a hell of a fighter in his day... it seems he had Marco's number but I cannot for the life of me figure out why because it seems like Jones is basically Erik Morales Lite. Maybe a little quicker hands let him get that right hand there a fraction of a second quicker than Erik's did. It's just hard to say.

Norton was a tough matchup for Ali, Hearns had Duran intimidated according to many before they ever got in the ring. Who can say why?

 

Exactly how many times would MAB have to beat EM before posters here rank him ahead of Erik? Erik is one of my favorite fighters, but his resume (and this is barely arguable) falls a little short of MAB's unless you think the Pac win is the end-all, be-all, and Marco (more arguably) won all of thier h2h fights. THREE of them.

I mean, what does it take?

 

Barrera's punch combos and power punches are easier on the eyes and better looking compared to Morales' punches, but personally, I feel that Morales more consistently supplies the more exciting "jump up off your seat" fights compared to Barrera.

If 2 separate TV channels were showing a Barrera fight and a Morales fight simultaneously, I'd more likely tune in to the Morales fight.

Doesnt mean MAB is boring though. I just find Morales more exciting to watch, generally.

 

Somewhere in the 60 up. No way he is ahead of ODLH.

 

He's very good,but he's not in the same league as Salvador Sanchez.

 

Top 50, give or take 10 slots

 

I put top 50 before but I would say between 50-70. I think when all their carrers are over Barrera will be the least regarded of the 4 ATG Featherweights. Not because he isn't brilliant, because the other 3 are that good.

 

I definately have him right there with Oscar. Just outside the top 50.

 

Top 45-50 IMO.

 

crazy putting barrera in the top 50 while putting benitez and trinidad outside the top 50

 

Great fighter, hard to pick exactly where he sits though.

 

Within 110

 

Between 76-81 !!
