    Exactly, I mean imagine how great it would've been for a JMM vs. Erik Morales fight in their prime? JMM vs. MAB was also a really great fight but it should've been made sooner when MAB wasn't coming off loses.

        Moralas is overrated. He only got one good win and that is first pacquiao fight.

        He never beat Barrerra.

        He ain't beat no one else that was of any value.

        OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        You must be new to boxing,eh? Erik Morales was a great fighter...

P4P, he might even be better than El Terrible & Baby Faced. Legacy wise it seems, he's behind.
            he got skills for sure, one of the best counter puncher i have ever seen..

            but i still rank him below EM and MAB because he's a late bloomer which is his handlers fault i think..

              I'd go with 1. MAB 2. Morales 3. JMM, honestly.

              MAB at his best was just a... I don't know how to put it, "classier" fighter.

                rabbit punching your opponent in a press conference is not "classy" in my book..

                  he wasn't coming off losses. he was on a 6 fight win streak and beat ayala, morales, fana, peden and juarez twice. he was also the wbc champ and should have been ibf champ if he wasn't stripped.

                    Well, I didn't quite mean it that way. I just think he had more fluency, seemed to possess more natural talent, and fought more beautifully. More natural talent too, in my book.

                      Morales crushed Junior Jones and Kevin Kelley who were top fighters at that time. He beat great fighters such as Zaragosa, Ayala, McCullough and the list goes on.

                      BTW Im a big fan of Morales..and Im pumped for his return against Alfaro.
                      Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez are two solid former champion
