      I can't wait for the outcome of Pac-Marquez III to see where I stand the the even matches....

        If a fighter is coming up and he has a few loses you can pretty much guess that he's been matched evenly/tough as opposed to most of these guys who have no loses but have been spoon fed by their managers........Rockin'

                Barrera-Morales and Ward-Gatti were evenly matched. Both put out great fights. Taylor-Chavez was another.........Rockin'

                  Barrera-Morrales easily. Their trillogy was razor thin each time out. The others mentioned usually had a dominant fighter, 2 out of 3 times. All 3 Barrera Morrales wars were razor thin with both fighting evenly throughout. When a man was hurt, it became common knowledge that the other was about to get hurt right back. Theirs was truly even.

                    good point...

                    If theres maybe a split decision outcome between Pac-Marquez III, would it change your mind?
