I'm looking to get a career set of either Morales or Barrera and don't know which one to get. I already have the Pacquiao fights with both so aside from those and their trilogy, who had the better fights? thanks
I think both are true warriors and both were massively entertaining. I think Erik Morales was better though. I think his overall CV was stronger, even though he lost the rubber match with Barrera. Their triology was SOOO damn close, you could have picked either to win either fight! I had Barrera win the first, Morales the second and third I can't even remember lol. But Morales beat a lot of guys that were top contenders and he beat guys Barrera got his ass handed to by...Junior Jones beat Barrera comfortably twice, Morales ate him up like he was nothing.....Then Barrera was KO'd by Pacquiao, whereas Morales got the better of the same Manny Pacquiao that Barrera fought.....its REALLY close between them though, seriously like everyone else said...flip a coin lol, I prefer Morales though.
You can't go wrong with either one.
Morales is my favorite fighter and had more excitement in his fights, but with Barrera having about 20 more fights while also being in a lot of exciting fights you can not go wrong with either.
Barrera is the more entertaining fighter, IMO, due to his style. However, Morales has been in some good scraps.
I'd tell you to get both, as they were great during their time. :lol1:
