    Prime Morales vs. Prime JMM

    Who do you guys think wins that one? seems like it would have been a bit more boring as when JMM was in his prime he was a bit less of a risk taker.

    I think a prime Morales was a bit stronger of a puncher, faster, better chin, probably not quite as strong, he was also more technical then people give him credit for. When he wanted to box he fought well, problem was he mixed it up to much and cut his career short.

    JMM has always been technical. A great fighter and definitely the more technical fighter. Has a ton of heart, scary with his timing and good power. Strong fighter.

    Just wondering....

    Marquez is faster than Morales though not by much.

    The "problem" with Morales is that when he is lured into exchanges, he has a tendency to become an "arm" puncher which is why Barrera used to have the better of their exchanges especially in 1 & 3 of their trilogy. Morales may be able to win some rounds because of his jab bu Marquez will make the necessary adjustments.

    Marquez imo will win because of his better technique. He may not be able to knock Morales out at 126 but at 135, I think he will.

          No offense bro but Morales is definitely faster then Marquez his technical abilities(timing), intelligence, make him seem a bit faster.

          Morales was far past his prime at 135. So I don't really count it. A prime 126 Morales was no slacker my friend that is why it is so intriguing, prime 122 is even scarier.

              wth does it matter if it's at 135? just because marquez has 2 wins at 135?

              give me a break.

              morales is taller and naturally bigger.

              fighting at 135 would benefit him.

              only difference is morales aged a lot a faster than marquez did.
