He's not even top 10 Mexican fighters. If you think he's top 10, You don't know what you're talking about.....

Top 10 Mexican fighters of all time.

1. Salvador Sanchez
2. J.C Chavez
3. Ruben Olivarez
4. Canelo
5. Jose Napoles ( even though he was Cuban, trained, lived a represented Mexico)
6. Alberto " Baby" Arizmendi 7. Vicente Saldivar
8. Carlos Zarate
9. Ricardo Lopez
10. Tie between Barrera and Morales pick your poison

Marquez is just on the outside of this list, top 12 for sure.

What was "better" about Barrera and Morales? Heres a fairly accurate comparison.

Marquez has higher caliber wins

Morales also beat Pacquiao, in a GREAT fight... but he lost Barrera

Marquez beat Barrera in a VERY close fight... that fight was a lot closer than the scoring suggested

also, Marquez beat Norwood... and he also beat Chris John, that fight was a travesty

that article was penned BEFORE the third Pacquiao/Marquez fight, and it ranked them pretty close... suggesting that if Marquez beat Pacquiao he would leap-frog his Mexican rivals... well, I had Marquez winning the trilogy - as did Ronnie "pac-hugger" Nathanielsz, Ben Delgado (Pacquiao's old coach), and a licensed referee from the Philippines - who all watched that fight together... along with MANY boxing insiders, and most of the fans in attendance - many of whom were Filipino

and... we all know what happened in the fourth fight

I don't think there is any question at all that Marquez should be ranked higher than Morales and Barrera

HUGE Morales fan btw, his effort in the first Pacquiao fight was a career-defining performance

My own pick would be Marquez as well... For the same reasons... Yes the Chris John fight lol. You can never go with judges. I can see someone choosing any one, but to not include Marquez in that group is off.

Exactly, the article was even before the third & fourth fight with Pac and it still ranked them close...
