    because thy wouldn't fight him.

      IMO its;

      1. Morales
      2. Barrera
      3. Marquez

      Morales and Barrera are significantly greater than Marquez.
      not so. they are nowhere near SIGNIFICANTLY greater than marquez.

          Morales and JMM are my favourites. I can't stand MAB.

          But legacy wise, it's:

          1. Morales
          2. MAB
          3. JMM

            but dude, you should really put JMM higher. It would make Floyd's resume look better.

              In my opinion they are.

              I have the utmost respect for Marquez, watched all his fights coming up, living in the shadow of Barrera and Marquez made things harder for him to get the shots they did. I alos felt he beat Pacqiauo the second time. I'm a Marquez fan.

              But, I just can't see how he can be considered as great or greater than Morales or Barrera.

              So yeah, in my opinion they are. But that's JMO.

                MAB is a dirty fighter, it's true.

                    A few years ago I did it as Barrera on achievement and skill and brawl, Morales on just the way he fights and win over Pac especially, and JMM.

                    Now I am stuck, JMM has done quite a bit since, Moraless has come back and Barrera is still around but maybe not doing so well.

                      I also want to start off with these dudes all being great fighters.

                      I think overall he performed better than those two vs Pac, he's shown just as much heart, and there's definitely a reason why MAB and EM completely ignored jmm over all those years.
                      He's the best LW in the world almost 20 years into a career.

                      He's never been decisively beaten in a fair fight, never once- and its not like he fought bums.

                      He has no Zahir Raheem, and MAB chose to get in most of his wars. That shouldn't be held against JMM
