    This poll is based on d 4 following picks :

    Chavez or Sanchez ?

    Nelson , LaPorte or Gomez ?
    Ihetu or Valdez ?

    I have it : Sanchez > Chavez
    Marquez > Morales > Barera
    LaPorte > Nelson > Gomez
    Ihetu ~ Valdez , although i tend more 2 Ihetu's favor but then it's not Valdez' fault that he was injured and withought it he might have had a longer and more successful career . Also Ihetu wasn't that menacing beast , because aside from Gene Fullmer 1 time out of 3 , he failed 2 stop and sometimes even failed 2 beat his good opponents , not 2 mention Tommy West .

    Having just thought about it,my view's similar to yours. I could change my mind about one or two on a daily basis though.

    JMM/Morales/Barerra I go back and forth on them just about every time I evaluate them.

    My picks and sequenc are identical to Phillyphan.

    I could go back and forth between Marquez and Morales but Barrera ranks a fingernail between those to imho. I think the defining differance is that he was completely manhandled and basically knocked cold in his physical prime by Junior Jones. Neither Marquez nor Morales were defeated that decisvely in their primes.

    And, for what its worth I scored the first two Morales-Barrera fights for El Terrible, the first by one point, the othe by two. I realize that puts me in the majority, but I figured I'd volunteer my opinion.

    I need 2 know about Ihetu's stoppage loss 2 Tommy West in 1953 and Valdez' stoppage loss 2 Juan Escobar in 1965 . Does any1 know d cause 2 any of these stoppages ? cuts ? multiple KDs ? unanswered flurry ?
    not 2 mention i would have loved 2 watch these fights .
    Same with Ramirez' loss 2 Olivares , i read here that it was a body punch KO , but is any1 certain that it was not a low blow ?
