The reason this thread had gone on for so many pages is because people pay way to much attention to a moron like TWERP. As for Barrera...he is one of the greats IMO. One of the smartest fighters of this or any era. He could box like a technician, he could slug/brawl it out, or he would do both. His fights with Morales and Hamed alone make him a legend.
Pound for Pound if they are the same size i would pick the Featherweight Quartet over the Original Big FOUR
Juan Manuel Marquez UD's Marvin Hagler
Erik Morales decisions Sugar Ray Leonard
Manny Pacquiao Kayoes Thomas Hearns
Marco Antonio Barrera outpoints Roberto Duran
4-0 must be too much. But i think they can really win at least 3-1.
Hagler was a god at his weight, Hearns went through the weights with ease because of his frame and power, Duran was a beast at lightweight probably the greatest, Leonard had a short prime but only SRR could beat him at his best. As great as your fab 4 are, they are no match for the Fab 4.Quote:

Amir Khan is not great. And he is bald. But could be great, unlikely though.
Thats a lie. Plain and simple. A bald-faced lie.Quote:

Like it or not, the guy was strong, tough and had a great technique. He also accomplished in the ring what 95% of the other boxers will not even come close to achieve. I've never been a fan of the guy but I have to recognize all the achievements he collected over the years and anybody who says that he was shit obviously is either a twat or is overwhelmed by a shallow subjectivity.
Legend!
7 world titles in a career spanning 4 seperate decades and 9 different weight classes. Not many can do that!
He was from an era when the best fought the best instead of cherry picking washed up weight drained leftovers. He took guys zeros and thats why he is one of the greatest ever.
Good enough to be in the top 5 greatest Mexican fighters of all time IMO.
Not a single one of those fighters would have a chance in hell, even (although clearly impossible) if you compensate for the size. Morales and Barrera oupointing Leonard and Duran? Tell me that was a joke.Quote:
