The list should remove Pac-Man and insert Naseem Hamed instead.

Other than Morales-Marquez, all of these fighters fought in a round robin.Originally posted by DavidValenzuela View Post

This is about greater fighters that inspired greater followings!
To answer your question though Dwiens (which, by the way, is one of the best I've seen in a long while) it is close to impossible to say who was the best. As many people have already said it seemed that Barrera got the best of the true prime Morales whereas a prime Morales would beat Pac pretty easily as would Marquez. I would say Pacquiao is the last as his style would be beaten by all of them except maybe Barrera who may beat Morales. It's simply one of those eras which are too good. But, we must remember that the only fight in which Pacquiao fought a prime one of these guys was against Barrera who just looked ****e (despite what Pac fans will say, he was not himself that night...far from it) and Marquez never fought either of the other guys in their true primes.
Too hard to pick, but one of the best questions seen here in a long time!!!
To make it easier on myself I'm just going to say Morales, Barrera and Marquez = 1, Pacquiao = 2. I don't give a flying .... what the Pac fans say, but he came after these guys had had the majority of their whole careers and did catch them at their worst weights and at the end of their careers.
BTW: I can't vote in the poll. You can't have guys equal so....?Last edited by BennyST; 02-23-2008, 08:59 AM.Comment

Huh? Why would anyone insert that dumb prick? He got whooped by Barrera and would have been whooped by Morales and Marquez (and Pacquiao) even worse probably. What most Naz fans seem to dismiss (voluntarily of course) is that after his career was ended by Barrera, Steward came out and said that they deliberately stayed away from Morales and Marquez and thought they had the best chance with Barrera...which turned out to be as bad as any other choice!!!Originally posted by DavidValenzuela View Post
It's too hard to say which was the best. They would probably have all beaten each other equal times. They could have fought each other every month and each one would win a different time. Without a doubt, one of the best periods of fighting ever at this weight!!! Simply stunning! Actually, it was the best period for this weight ever. I don't think we give enough credit to these great guys! Well done Dwiens for bringing up these guys recently a number of times. True boxing icons!Comment

I wonder who would have won if Marquez had fought Morales at 126...Comment
