    ERIK MORALES is my favourite of the 3.

    Talent wise, there is not a huge gap no matter which way you pair these 3 great fighters but Morales has the most heart, is most exciting, has the best chin & placed giving an entertaining fight above actually winning - tho make no mistake, he was a winner & came to win ALWAYS... he just took more chances than the other 2 for the benefit of the fans.

    I rank Morales & Barrera a little above JMM simply because they could fight & box equally well vs elite fighters... Marquez can fight when need be but its very obvious that he is much more comfortable when boxing, especially counter-punching.

    For pure basic boxing skills, I think Marquez & Morales have a slight edge on Barrera (tho not much in it)
    For pure fighting/brawling ability, I think Barrera & Morales edge out Marquez.

    All in all, I feel Morales is the best all round fighter of the 3.
    I also feel that MAB & JMM have never matched Morales dominance & superiority in any weight class that Morales achieved at 122 lbs.

    In their primes, Id fancy both Morales & Barrera to beat Marquez by close UD.

    You all know how I feel about the EM/MAB trilogy so I wont go into it again but Morales is my pick of the 3 Mexican legends as the BEST & my FAVOURITE.

    Cheers.

    Nobody proved the doubters wrong as much as Barrera. He was the overall man as far I'm concerned. :good

    Erik "El Terrible" Morales. MASSIVE COJONES after going out of his shield against Pac in the 2nd and 3rd fight and making it a war!! He always make it a point to entertain the fans and I really like him for that. A GREAT GREAT fighter with massive heart and balls.

    We'll miss you El Terrible!!!
