what the hell is wrong with you? im sick of all these idiots who think margarito is some sort of deity who is feared by all and cannot be stopped......the guys best win was over cintron who was crap anyway. cotto will put an end to this crap next week.Margarito has better legacy than Barrera and Morales. He beat Golden Johnson and Cintron. Fighters who such as Jesus Chavez, Pacquiao, Hernandez, Junior Jones, Marquez were not scared of MAB and EM. While Margarito is avoided and feared by Mayweather, Mosley, Judah, and Dela Hoya.Margarito hands down.Comment

oh and i voted draw but im beginning to realise morales has the better legacy, he beat pac the first time and would have done the second time but all those wars he has been through were hell on his body and the guy is basically shot now.....even though hes only 31 a fighters longevity is determined by the toughness of their fights not their age (although eventually age takes its toll, no matter how safety first a fighter is) a perfect example is hopkins and morales, hopkins' defensive minded style has enabled him to fight into his 40's, while morales' has been through some incredibly hard fights that have aged him terribly even at 31Comment

To me, while Barrera was great also, Morales was the definition of what people envision boxing to be. A true throwback fighter. One tough fight after another where he left everything in the ring every single time, even in defeat. His legacy reigns supreme.Comment

To me, thats what makes the difference in favor of Morales. He never had to come back from anything until the end of his career. Barrera had to comeback from the middle of his career. The bulk of Eriks losses came from his last 3 years.This is a very close choice but I give the slight edge to Barrera, a lot of people counted him out after the Jones fights, then after the first Morales fight, then after the Pacquiao fight but he kept coming back and coming back successfully, I'm not sure there are many boxers that have managed to change their style so drastically throughout their career and he's 2-1 over Morales.Comment

Fair point, but Barrera coming back from adversity was very impressive to me, especially coming back the way he did.Comment
