Barrera was old when they fought. Body was taxed. He fought true Mexican style his entire career while Marquez fought in nothing but boring fights until Pac. People forget that Marquez Gainer was perhaps the ugliest, most boring fight of all time. That’s how Marquez spent the majority of his career. Boring counter puncher.
Marquez finished his career as an action fighter tho.
Barrera won the Morales trilogy and I know that Morales would have wrecked Marquez. I make money all the time predicting this kind of thing so good luck convincing me otherwise.
Barrera was more consistently great. He didn’t need to shine every second year because he shined every time out. Was way more versatile and intelligent than Marquez.
Barrera got kod one too many times to consistently great

Barrera does get pretty underrated by fans these days, mainly because Morales and Marquez both have a win over Pac, while Pac destroyed Barrera and beat him again a few years later.
But Barrera had a great career. He was counted out at least three times in his career, but came back to have good runs after losing to Jones, Morales 1, and Pac.
For me no top five ATG Mexican list is complete without the inclusion of Ricardo "Finito" Lopez. Great, great fighter. Mostly overlooked and forgotten.
