Based off of their current records, or records when they retired, and looking at some of their top wins and the records of their opponents. Rank Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Erik Morales on a scale of one to three, One being the most impressive and three being the least. Chavez retired @ 108-6-2 some of his best wins and the opponets records at the time were: Jose Luis Ramirez 101-6 Alberto Cortes 44-0 Ruben Castillo 63-4-2 Juan Laporte 27-6 Frankie Randall 50-2-1 Tony Lopez 45-4-1 Rocky Lockridge 38-4 Roger Mayweather 21-2 Greg Haugen 32-4 Mario Martinez 33-1-2 Hector Camacho 40-1 Edwin Rosario 31-2 Meldrick Taylor 24-0-1 Marco Antonio Barrera currently is 63-6 some of his best wins and the opponants records at the time are: Kevin Kelley 54-5-2 Mzonke Fana 22-2 Enrique Sanchez 28-1-2 Apalito Sanchez 17-4-2 Jesus Salud 62-9 Rocky Juarez 25-1 Paulie Ayala 35-2 Robbie Peden 25-2 Johnny Tapia 52-2-2 Daniel Jimenez 19-3-1 Erik Morales II 41-0 Kennedy Mckinney 28-1-1 Erik Morales III 47-1 Naseem Hamed 35-0 Erik Morales is currently 48-6, although he probably won't fight again. some of his best wins and the opponants records at the time are: Juan Carlos Ramirez 17-1 Fernando Velardez 24-4-1 Jose Luis Bueno 30-8-2 Kevin Kelley 51-4-2 Guty Espadas Jr 33-2 Wayne McCullough 23-2 Carlos Hernadez 40-3-1 In-Jin Chin 24-1 Junior Jones 44-3 Jesus Chavez 40-2 Daniel Zaragoza 55-7-3 Manny Paquiao 39-2 Paulie Ayala 34-1 Marco Antonio Barrera 49-2
On resume, I say 1.Chavez, 2.MAB, 3.Morales. But Chavez only has a very slightly better resume than Barrera, who has 1 of the best resumes of the last 20 years IMO. Morales not far behind, very good resume also. And I say the same order 1-3 in p4p terms too, though in that way Chavez is a more clear winner. MAB and Morales again v close but a slight edge to Barrera.
I am a huge MAB fan but I might have to give the nod to Morales based off of his wins against Pacquiao, Jesus Chavez, Junior Jones and Carlos Hernadez. They both have beaten each other and the only thing that Barrera really has over Morales is the win over Hamed. But morales beat Pacquiao who beat Barrera twice.
