    I salute all three. But I idolized Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez and Jose Napoles more. My next tier included JCC, Ruben Olivares, and Vicente Zaldivar.

    Morales...


    WHOEVER SAYS JMM:
    Compare resumes and tell me HOW, in ANY WORLD, you could have him over MAB and Morales. MAB and Morales' resumes **** all over JMMs. He didnt deserve a top 10 p4p placement until beating Barrera. YOu dont become top 10 p4p bc you lose to Norwood and beat Gainer and Medina.

    It's obvious to anyone who watche boxing that JMM is a better, more skilled boxer than Morales.

    NOw as far as the resume, it's Eric hands down!

    resume is all; that matters...

    i can say that meldrick taylor, just by me watching him, is the fastest, most skillful, blah, blah, blah fighter Ive ever seen, but if he doesnt beat any atgs, then what does it matter?

    :lol: erik and mab didnt avoid anyone their ENTIRE careers...JMM is the one that bitched out of big fights that couldve been made...only recently did he finally wisen up

    and age and ring age are not the same. MAB went pro at 15 and had many more brutal wars than JMM.

    In terms of stature MAB and Morales is definitely greater . . . but ring skills and chin . . . it's got to be Marquez.

    I agree. Morales was the best. His win over Pacquiao equalls what Barrera did to Prince Naseem. Morales never showed game plans coming into his fight in which his plan was to stay away like Barrera has done in the past. Morales ALWAYS came to fight. And Morales 3rd fight with Pacquiao was WAY better than Barrera's rematch with Pacquiao because at least Morales came to bring it EVERYTIME while Barrera didn't want to engage. Morales went out on his shield while Barrera fought only to survive. So Morales is the best Mexican no question.

    Chin...chin??? are you serious? Yeah maybe the current version of JMM has a better chin then Morales but **** man have you ever seen any prime morales? Barrera maybe he got the **** kicked out of him twice in his prime. But prime for prime there are few people more bad ass then Morales. I mean the guy never hit the canvas (officially) until he was weight drained and well past it.

    Honestly, I don't care how good JMM's footwork or his balance is prime for prime he gets beat by both Morales and MAB. They just bring so many more intangebles into the ring that it doesn't matter. I mean can you imagine Morales or a young MAB ever allowing Chris John to beat him. Or freddy Norwood? I mean common. It wouldn't matter what they were getting paid or where the fight was, in there prime both these guys were far to bad ass to ever allow some one like that to get the better of them. MAB changed as his career went on but morales never did. Guys I think you need to watch some more prime Morales and MAB before you go saying that JMM is the better boxer.
