    Morales and Barrera were ineffectual past 126. Barrera coudln't even manage a round against Pac in 2 fights.


    Beating in jin chi and zaragoza doesn't make Morales better than JMM. Nor does losing to Raheem and quitting against Pac.
    Just out of curiosity out of the 3 fighters who was naturally a 126 pounder?

One thing though, if JMM had gotten the decision over Chris John that he deserved, that would've left a big imprint since John has been the top guy at 126 for years. That fight should've went to JMM and it isn't even debatable although the win doesn't show up on his resume.

      I think Junior Jones, Naseem Hamed, Injin Chi are really the only stand out wins on Barrera and Morales' resumes outside of fighting each other. And Barrera lost to Jones twice. But the bad thing right now is, JMM isn't really taking fights right now that will solidify his legacy. Diaz was coming off a loss to frigging Malinaggi. And Katsidis was just a top contender, but that's where it ended. I think JMM needs to either beat Pac or get a fourth title to push him over those two.
      Morales beating Pac doesnt count???

                im having a hard time deciding between number 1 but for me Marco is clearly number 3 between the trio

                both Marquez and Morales out performed Marco in their common opponents

                    Marquez, Morales then Barrera.

                    Morales and Barrera used themselves up early in their careers. Marquez has actually benefit from being an unknown for most of his featherweight career. It kept him fresh but I would of love to see those three trade fights at 126.
