The three big Mexican small fighters: rank them in terms of their all time standing. I'll start:
1. Morales
2. Barrera
3. JM Marquez
Even though Barrera won the Morales trilogy, I still see Morales as the more accomplished of the two.
I think the obvious fact of the matter is that all of these guys have had great careers. The only shame is that Morales didn't fight Marquez in his prime, I think we would know a lot more if that happened. Looking at pictures of Morales now I don't think it will happen now even.
My pick:
1) Erik Morales for going through those 2 classic trilogies. (Although he lost 4 of those. It shows he has so much heart.)
2) Marco Antonio Barrera for the many fights he has won and for silencing Prince Naseem.
3) Juan Manuel Marquez for competitive fights with Pacman but his camp also avoided a rematch after their first fight.
you're right.
chris john is the greatest featherweight of all time!
Don't be an idiot Gracie
Chris John lost that fight and everyone knows it. It was a flop by the judges like in Barrera vs Morales 1 and 2
horrible management made marquez lose the norwood and john fights.
I don't know if management can lose a fight for you, it may affect you, but lose? I don't believe great management can win a fight either. They can only position you to fight.
you're right.
chris john is the greatest featherweight of all time!
actually:
Tony Gennarelli > Giovanni Vaccarella > Scott Phillips > Derrick Gainer > Freddie Norwood > Juan Manuel Marquez > Marco Antonio Barrera > Erik Morales
Mine is completey different.
Marquez
Barrera
Morales
Marquez beat Barrera who beat Morales
Marquez did a great showing against a prime Pac (twice) then Barrera beat Morales up 2/3 times.
someone needs to put up highlights of El Terrible and MAB in their primes...so many here are claiming an automatic W against JMM...ya'll musta forgot
I know, these guys were pretty much Hall of fame caliber before they even fought each other.
1 marquez
2 morales
3 barrera
i think marquez would have beat them both in their respective primes, but due to horible management marquez is just starting to show what he could do:crackhead
Wow, I didn't know anybody could get Knocked Out 3 times in only one round. JMM must be one of a kind. :D
JMM does not have a KO loss to Pac on his record...but doesent Barrera? I could have sworn he did.
