    There were two prominent fab Fours from the same era many years ago
    Pacquiao,Barrera,Marquez and Morales.

    Trinidad,De La Hoya,Mosley and Vargas

    Pacquiao is obviously the most accomplished winning world titles in 8 weight classes.

    Vargas had a very good career but is 0-4(4 kos) in his fights with the legends in his group so obviously there is no point in including him in this poll

    Morales. He's the best fighter of that list, and imho very clearly. You can make a case of Márquez, but anyway Morales is better.

    I think Marquez, but Oscar fought EVERYBODY

    Oscar had a couple decisions go his way, but also against him

    Damn this is hard, but gun to head I pick Juan. He followed Pac up the weights, proved his equal and has the most decisive win

    Edit

    I have already changed my mind when reading, it might be morales? Lol

    Barrera and Marquez were both amazing against Robbe peden a good fighter.I suppose Marquez did a better job because he stopped him and made him sick in the corner.Marquez had heavier hands than Barrera and Morales for sure and was on their level or better in terms of skill.

    Premise that they are all great champions and that they all have important victories I choose Juan Manuel Marquez. Ring Magazine in its top100 p4p all time puts Pacquiao in 9th place, Marquez has done 3 close fights with Pac Man and defeated him by ko in the 4th. He also has a very important victory over Barrera and other important triumphs (for example Dinamita is the only boxer who has defeated Juan Diaz inside the distance, and he beat him in the rematch too) in different weight categories. He has never lose inside the distance in his career (the only one among these fighter)

    It’s between De La Hoya and Morales for me. I ultimately chose Morales. Victories over Barrera and Pacquiao are better wins than anyone on the list. Far better.

    Can probably make a decent case for any of ODLH Morales Marquez or Barrera. I would say Marquez

    I will admit I'm a Trinidad hater due to the nutshotting right when Vargas was taking his ass to school, so not Tito...
    Voted Morales, but Mosley sure was great too. As were all of them.
