      Barrera-Morales IMO. I thought there was more toe to toe action in that trilogy, I think this would get more attention b/c two fights ended in TKO's. I do however think that this fights 12th round was better than any round in Barrera-Morales but in whole Barrera-Morales IMO.

        It's a hard decision. Barrera-Morales has become a classic trilogy. You can't take anything away from it. On the other hand, I feel Vasquez-Marquez, was brutal boxing at the highest level. These weren't just mindless slugfests and brawls such as the first Barrera-Morales fight. These were 3 brutal fights of technical fighting with huge punches landing and guys getting hurt and busted up really bad. The drama all 3 bouts provided, were some of the best in boxing trilogy moments, and I'm glad I was able to see each fight Live on TV.

          The first Barrera/Morales fight tops anything from this trilogy. This third fight had a great ending, but the action early on was in spurts.

              Same with me. The Vasquez/Marquez fights are in my head right now and to pick them over the Barrera/Morales would be an injustice.

                    The one thing that the morales/barrera missed is there no good knock downs or neither fighter was able to stop each other in either fight, but you still get a great 36 rounds between them.
