I agree with your assessment 100%
In my eyes erik was the better boxer but he was to much of a warrior to fight any other way. Take a look at Marco vs Ayala and Morales vs Ayala, both erik and marco proved to be the better boxers in there respective bout against Ayala but even thou erik outclassed Ayala he still punished Ayala. Simply out boxing him was not enough. While marco got the stoppage he never pushed the action but was content simply just counter punching and never risking anything.
Marco was a warrior himself and his fans shouldnt take it as a knock that people are saying Erik was more of a warrior between the two because Erik was more of a warrior than a lot of other boxers as well.
Who was the better boxer and who had greater ring achievements are different debates than the topic of this thread.
