Your favourite mexican rivalry: Morales VS Barrera or Marquez VS Vazquez.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I honestly don't get why people dislike Top Rank.

1. No one is better and bringing along fighters than Top Rank....Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Morales, Mayweather, De La Hoya and countless others. No way in hell can anyone say that Arum didn't do a beautiful job in bringing these fighters along and making them into big names in boxing.

2. They brought boxing back to regular TV with their top rank live series. All those young fighters, lower weight class boxers and various fighters on their rosters are all getting TV dates and a lot of exposure.

3. They are the only company that can put their own PPV's together. With those Latin Furies, Pinoy Powers etc...they are able to target the Latin fan base and allow fans to see their favorite fighters on TV

4. Bringing boxing back to major stadiums. They had the own in Cowboys stadium, Yankees stadium, and they will soon have a bout in the new giants stadium and possible a nice card in Azteca stadium. I'm sick of all the major fights being in Vegas and having big fights in stadiums with 50-60K in attendance is very refreshing for the sport of boxing.

I mean those are just a few of the many reasons I feel Top Rank is head and shoulders better than any other promo company....but I guess to each his own.

it says i gave you green already although this is the first time i've seen your handle

Morales vs Barrera was a true "**** you puto" rivalry even though Marquez Vazquez was the better trilogy.

Morales vs Barrera was a true "**** you puto" rivalry even though Marquez Vazquez was the better trilogy.

marquez-vazquez was slightly more entertaining.

the thing is though...... morales-barrera was right there as far as entertainment value.

then add the historical factor. barrera and morales are far greater fighters than vazquez and marquez.

barrera-morales trilogy is up there with the top trilogies in boxing history.

3 fights in 3 different weight divisions by 2 all time great future hall of famers who were champions in all 3.

that's got to be a first.

barrera and morales was ranked #1 and #2 at 122 when they first met , they were #1 and #2 at 126 for the rematch and even their last encounter at 130 they were ranked #1 and #2.

Morales Mab was one of the rivalries that really got me into boxing. The speed and power which their hands moved and the fact they were basically exchanging combos one after another made those fights insane.

I'll never forget the way Morales took a huge shot against the ropes and started to go down, and then his adrenaline kicked in and popped up throwing punches. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in the ring.
