    Morales and Barrera are both greats in my eyes...

    Maybe not top 50 ATGs in history but definitely 2 great fighters and 2 of the absolute best in the last 25 years

    To downplay their accomplishments and being overly critical of their losses is not cool..



    Manny would have never become a household name if he hadn't gotten the stardom rub from fighting those 2...

                barrera, morales and mayweather are undefeated in their 41'st fights. but barrera and morales fought HOF fighters after their 41'st.

                  Morales lost to Zahir Raheem the fight before. It wasn't even a close fight, Raheem absolutely dominated Morales. IMO he was no longer "el terrible" but "just terrible". Following the Raheem loss Morales went on to finish 2-7. If it were anyone else the win wouldn't be given nearly as much respect.
                  You forgot to mention that Morales fought Raheem at 135. What was Morales's record at 135 before Raheem? Impressive? What weight was Morales in those losses that you mention?

                  Morales had decent fights after that including nearly beating Garcia and Maidana ..... at weight classes that were several above 130

                  Morales did well against Manny in 2 of the 3 fights. Manny was getting better while Morales was not ......
