    7. Marco Antonio Barrera - The best Mexican fighter of his era (unless you include Chavez in it). Erik Morales would like to prove otherwise but he's 1-2 against Barrera and the gap between them is widening. Barrera became a complete fighter, rather than just a warrior, after Junior Jones beat him twice. He still loves to brawl but he can box, too. What featherweight of his time was better? A match with Sanchez would have been a Mexican dream fight.

    Ugh. There on MAB's nuts cause he has a big fight for them coming up. No way was he better than Morales. MAB was embaressed by Junior Jones and Pac

    Yes he beat Morales 2-1, but all 3 were razor thin fights not like he slaughtered him.

    Morales also has the better resume by far. MAB's best win was Hamed you telling me Morales wouldn't have done the same to Hamed?

    How Morales doesn't even make the list is just beyond me. He's the only other Mexican besides Chavez to win belts at 3 weight classes.

      I don't like the list.....but then again...that's their list. Morales not on the list and Barrera is? Morales accomplished more tha Barrera.

        I agree it's a joke that Morales is not even on the list, Morales should be in the top 3 to 5. I pick Morales over Barrera any day.

              6. Ricardo Lopez - Grossly underrated as De La Hoya says because of his size and the fact promoter Don King kept him hidden behind Chavez for so long.


              Ricardo Lopez should be higher. Morales should be at least #6

                HBO don't need Morales no more. He lost 3 of his last 4 fights and it's gonna be 4 by the time November ends. Sucks, it is what it is.

                  They need to add DLH on that list.
