Morales is the definition of a master technician if you know what your watching.

i like barrera two but these guys were able to beat fighters that MAB couldnt. MAB is right up there with them but IMO just behind them.

Originally posted by just the facts View PostGreat fighters no doubt, but better than Chavez Sr or Ricardo Lopez?
I have Lopez over Chavez and Chavez over and Barrera
I swip swap MORALES and Chavez all the time
JMM is behind Lopez but ahead of ahead of the other guys imo
LOPEZ had the consistency and was dominant vs some good little fighters
Chavez technically lost a few of his big ones...got a gift draw vs whitaker and arguably lost to juan laporte and rocky lockridge in close fights
Lopez was the great straw weight of all time and if you are considered the best in any weight class in history, you should be near the top in ATG lists
p4p lopez is the most complete mexican fighter of all time

his feints were very good too

most people only know marquez from 130 lbs + where he looked mad slow
look at how he fast and explosive he was at 127, dude was a freak of nature at that weight
morales never really impressed me tbh, but ppl just like his style of fighting
barrera is better than morales

ll be relegated to a cave man i guess.....Morales was one of the most skill fighters in a deep era...sometimes his warrior side got in the way....If he didnt war with Barrera so much he couldve won the series IMO....he had the advantage outside and Barrera had it inside with his hooks and short shots.....well he wouldnt be el terrible fighting like a mini ward i guess
