    no question, jmm is the most skilled of the three but that is just one attribute of a great fighter. but if you add up all of the other attributes, then imho, erik comes first, followed very closely by barrera and then a gap to marquez.

    Barrera closely followed by Morales no disrespect to Marquez but his resume is not even close to these two.

    I tend to put Marquez up there with both of them.

    Please note that Barrera lost to Pac, Morales, and Marquez. Barrera has a great resume, and so does Morales, but I think Marquez has the best skills out of the three, with Morales probably being the overall best.

    Morales was the most fun to watch, Marquez was the most masterful to watch, and Barrera is pretty much a mix between the two.

    In this Order
    Erik M - future boxing hall of famer - a warrior
    MAB - future boxing hall of famer - a great technician
    JMM - this guys only claim to fame was fights with PAC and saw the canvas 4 times.

    Uhh, sitting on his ass, shaking his head when his corner told him to get up and beat the count in the third round isn't exactly the epitome of going out like a ****ing man.

    marquez is definitely the most skilled out of the 3. just a complete fighter who can do a lot more in the ring compared to morales and mab.
