EM and MAB, I can't pick. JMM isn't anywhere near those two but who knows what else JMM will accomplish

I just don't know if JMM has enough time to accomplish what the other two have done

Anyway...I'd pick a prime EM and MAB to beat JMM and I give JMM very little chance to beat EM

Morales > Barrera > Marquez

Marquez still has time to do some great stuff though so we'll see. Neither Barrera nor Marquez were as good as Erik in my opinion, even if Barrera holds the 2 wins. Morales fought at such a high and fan friendly level for nearly 10 years. He fought virtually everyone and beat every single one of his notable contemporaries. Pacquiao, Zaragoza, Barrera and Jones.

Skill-wise these guys are all on par, but I think Morales did enough to distance himself from the other two with his resume and fighting style.

This. I think Marquez is coming a lot closer to passing Barrera, but I don't see him passing Morales.

I think Marquez is a notch above them. His reign at LW is really what clinched it for me.

em's resume is more consistant......he was actually one who beat top contenders on the weight classes...he wasnt just a belt whore......

I read elsewhere how they believed JMM surpassed them both with his win over Diaz.

Yeah but Diaz wasn't even on the P4P list...a really good fighter at that, it ain't like he beat some future HOF or an ATG to jump ahead of those two
