    :patsch

    Sorry, Sumarai's Slice.

    To answer your question, Jorge Solis aside, I find it extremely difficult to wedge a difference between the three. JMM, sadly, may find it harder because he didn't have have the fortune of being part of the Mexican wars involving MAB and EM. His efforts against Pacquiao, however, could make up for those. EM helps his case by officially and convincingly beating a man who the other two failed against.

    Marquez and Morales...

    Barrera is one of my all time faves... but the top 2 will easily be remembered the most...

    There was a thread done here months ago same topic it ended with Morales JMM seperated by one or 2...

    MAB very behind like 15-20...

    many voters... I think 80-82

    and barrera like 65

    Morales or MAB. Personally I think Morales has the best legacy but have no problem with people ranking MAB above him legacy wise.

    JMM, legacy wise, is a step below them

    You mean 5 time, not division right?


    Seperatly, I voted for Barrera, he was well on his way to matching Chavez early in his career, I gather the opinion in Mexico at the time was that he could be just as good, he then changed his style and extended his career at the top level.

    I can see and appreciate the argument for Morales, and have no problem with anybody picking him.
