Morales, Pacquiao, Barrera...who's the best?

[riz]

You are a hater...

how am i a hater?
morales and pac take the tougher fights
barrera doesn't

[Tha Greatest]

They should all do this...

Each of them fight Juan Manuel Marquez...

Whoever does best against him should be the best...

[cvt]

1.Barrerra...great ring smarts, keeps cool, best all around punching (can punch from the inside and out). i stand by my statement as the best all-around mexican fighter.

2.Erik Morales...more talented than Barrera but seems to steer away from the game plane. more emotional. good range with his right hand but inside game is not as well-rounded as Marco's. tons of heart and machismo. definately more fun to watch.

3.Manny Pacquiao...great power. but too one dimensional. needs to learn the finer points in the ring and learn to counter and step back rather than keep going foward. he's a bull but has showed that a good matador (JMM and EM)will always have his number.

Damn CVT you just laid it out for every one. I dont think I disagree with anything you just said, even thought I am a Morales fan i even like that sentence where you said that Barrera is an "all-around" Mexican fighter. You are absolutly right!

I agree with everything he said too, but Morales is definitely the best of the three based on accomplishments.

If Barrera would have done his job and beaten Pac, Pac wouldnt be considered at their level, Morales did his job and beat Pac, This argument should be who is better outta Morales and Barrera as it used to be, Barrera lost to Pac and that made this argument became, whos the best, Morales, Barrera or Manny. Morales is clearly #1 outta the 3

Isnt that what we base whos the best, you wont be the best if you dont accomplish a thing, Were not basing this argument on potential, you can have all the potential in the world but if you dont accomplish anything or just accomplish less than expected, what good was that talent for, you will forever be a underachiever.

Morales arguably beat Barrera twice (he clearly lost the third fight) and he beat Pacquiao.

Barrera arguably beat Morales twice (should have lost the 2nd fight but could have been given the first) and got completely annihilated by Pacquiao.

Pacquiao crushed Barrera and was made to look foolish by Marquez and Morales at times, proving himself to be a little too one dimensional.

Other big names on Morales' resume include Tapia, Ayala, Chavez, Hernandez, and Injin Chi

Other big names on Barrera's resume include Tapia, Ayala, Hamed, and Kelley

Pacquiao has beaten no other "big names" outside of Barrera

Morales beat opponents like , Carlos Hernandez, Kevin Kelley, Guty Espadas, Jesus Chavez, Junior Jones(the man that Barrera accomplished to lose too, twice), Wayne McCollough,Manny Pacquiao and legendary Daniel Zaragosa.

On Barreras resume, his biggest victory comes over a overated Prince Hamed overated Naseem Hamed(who was considered #1 pound for pound by many)before the Barrera fight, that victory put Barrera as the best Mexican fighter today in when he beat Hamed.
Many people i named on Morales resume are better than Hamed

Hard to tell really. Cuz it is all a matter of styles.
