Who got the best of the Pacquaio/Marquez/Morales/Barrera round robin?

Roided Marquez committed live murder on December 8th, 2012.
Morales is God.
Pac beat a weight drained and past it Morales.
Morales is God.
Barrera...

 

Even though I dispute the verdicts in the first 3 Pac Marquez fights and have him winning 3-0-1, I don’t use that in ranking because it is to arbitrary for my tastes. Even if I could factor that into every fight historically (and I can’t) it would not be consistent or fair...so even though it sucks I go with the official verdict in my ratings...so based just on these 4 vs these 4

1 Pac
2 Marquez
3 Morales
4 Barrera

It might look different if I used my own cards as the verdict as I had MAB over Barrera 3-0
Marquez over Pac 3-0-1

Been a while since I have scored JMM vs MAB maybe I need to revisit them? If I used my own cards

1 JMM
2 Pac
3 MAB
4 Morales

 

Officially it's

Pac
JMM
EM
MAB

But in my view it's

JMM
2-1-1 1KO against Pac
1-0 against MAB

Pac
1-2-1 against JMM
2-1 2 Kos against EM
MAB

2-0 against Pac
0-1 against JMM
2-1 against EM
EM

1-2 against Pac
1-2 against MAB

 

1) Pacquiao 2) Marquez 3) Morales 4) Barrera

Pacquiao is definitely a lucky boy to have a 2-1-1 scoreline in his favour against Marquez. It should really have been at least 2-1-1 to Marquez, and 3-1 wouldn't have been unreasonable, either. The only fight I can make a case for Manny winning was the second one - and even then, by no more than a point or so. If I was being kind to Pacquiao, I could probably bring myself to say that he managed to just about keep level-pegging with Marquez throughout their series, at best.

However, Manny's win over Barrera in 2003 is a massive factor, for me. Along with Cotto, it's one of the two greatest moment's in Pacquiao's career and a victory which very few modern greats can match. Barrera had been in great form since the turn of the century, splitting those first two fights with Morales, taking Hamed's 0 (and a part of his soul) against the odds, and was considered a lock for top five pound for pound in 2003, maybe even top three. He was a clear, established divisional number one at 126.

Yet Pacquiao, the underdog, absolutely tore him to shreds. It's not as if Marco was finished by that point, either; he won the third fight with Morales a year later and was still fighting at a decent world championship level in 2006-07. Marquez couldn't do to an older, shopworn Barrera what Pacquiao had done to a younger, in-form version.

Coupled with his two avenging wins over Morales (granted, Erik was sliding, but let's keep in mind that Marquez never got to fight El Terrible), as well as the fact that he again beat more or less the same version of Barrera as Marquez did in their second bout in 2007, I think Manny just about comes out on top overall.
