    These posts are great and quite varied.
    I know Morales is more popular than MAB I just don't c how the case can b made for him being better technically. Just feel MAB was more rounded and complete.

    Wasnt he from puerto rican background though ? And american by birth.

    How about the great Baby Arizmendi ? Fought them all, including his fellow mexican Rodolfo Baby Casanova.

    I have to go back and study olivares as I always thought of him as a pure banger.

    Or the second Hafey fight. He turned pure boxer for that one. Olivares would easily be my number one on this list.

    I think it's harder to pick whos better technically between MAB and JMM. From that point of view I have Morales 3 rd between those 3

    Very perceptive B. Yes Manuel Ortiz was born in California but being he
    was of Mexican ancestry , Ortiz was thought of as Mexican in his fighting
    days...Oh I plum forgot Baby Arizmendi who held his own with the prime
    immortal Henry Armstrong in a series of close bouts...
