    I like them equal to be in the future HoF. As people already said, Morales has beaten those that Barrera couldn't and was never dominated in any fights the way Barrera has. He can change his game up whenever he wants and is able to control the tempo at whatever pace he changes his game to. Barrera although fun to watch and is very skillful and a master of the sport, he seems to have one style. That usually would be a counterpuncher although not to the extent of Juan Manuel Marquez. He'll go at you when he pleases although is more reluctant to. Barrera's opposition has been nice as well though not nearly as good as Morales. I'd say Morales is ahead on the margin though they should both be FoH without a doubt.

      Like you said, hes only beaten good fighters, their are no great fighters in his resume. Their is no fighters in their to make hamed pound for pound of all weight classes like people said he was. Hameds career was finished when Barrera exposed Hamed phoniness. Hamed was the favorite vs Barrera by at least 5 to 1 vs Barrera.

          1.) Im not angry.

          2.) What the **** does P4P have to do with anything. Who did Kostya Tszyu beat to make him universally reknown as arguably the best P4P fighter earlier this year?

            In my opinion this one is easy.

            Barrera

            He won 2 of 3 head to head.

              I take Erik Morales over MAB. Like previously said by others, he has beaten the tougher competition. Although technically MAB has a the edge in head to head encounters, it could be the other way around depending on who you talk to. Anyways, both are hall of famers but El Terrible is one of my favorite fighters, so i choose him.

                He beat an overated earlier this year after a long injury(TSYZU beat Sharmba Mitchell and people still remember his victories over Julio Cesar Chaves in 95 and victories over a Miguel Angel Gonzales and Jesse James Leija in their prime. I didnt have Kostya Tsyzu in my top 10 after beating Mitchell.

                    But that's really the only thing he has on Morales...I could name 5 things that Erik has on Barrera. And theres really no way to gage who's better from those fights anyway because many boxing fans are pretty much sold on Morales clearly winning the second fight.

                      I had Morales clearly beating Barrera in the second fight as well, great point
