Morales Vs Marquez

[ElTerribleMorales]

no it's not a thread of this fight happening now lol
i just saw a highlight reel of the Barrera Vs. Marquez fight, and then saw Morales Vs. Chavez and couldn't help but think that Morales Vs. Marquez would have been a lot more explosive than Barrera/Marquez (not that it wasn't already a hell of a fight), IMO were both technically sharper than Barrera but Morales' if you hurt me i'm gonna kill you attitude would have made the difference, any opinions?










PS. hey at least it's not a Mayweather/Pacquiao thread lol

I think Morales would have won that one in their primes. What a war it would have been though. Looking back now Morales' win over Pacman is looking better and better on him. Looking at how Pac has dispatched his recent foes(whom are bigger) that last beatdown didnt seem soo bad. Why do I think Morales would win? He stays with his technique once the exchanges start and Marquez tends to open up and take one to give one. I think Morales would land more and get a points win.

morales and marquez were not technically sharper than barrera. barrera was always the most versatile of the three.

I agree. In the height of their primes, I think Barrera is the best of them. Like you said I think Barrera was deff the sharpest also. Plus I love the attitude of the Baby face, he'd sucker punch your mother if he didnt like you.

Morales outboxed Barrera clearly in their second fight (the fight he should have gotten the nod in), thing is Morales wouldn't keep his composure and when he would get tagged or slightly rocked he'd just go at it and be hell bent on hurting you, if you're gonna go by technique and all around natural BOXING ability, both Morales and Marquez were ahead of Barrera

Morales was my favourite fighter of these 3 legends. Remember when he beat Pac and tried to be cocky in the last round and go southpaw and Manny nearly knocked him out. That sums up Morales, very emotional, still never forgiven MAB?

I think Morales was very good on the outside, I think him being a little more lengthy helped against Barrera, but I think Barrera seemed a little sharper both technically and otherwise when they got to medium or on the inside.

Sorry to quote you, i'm not calling you out but Morales was a boxer that loved a fight, Barrera was the fighter that knew how to box.

They were evenly matched but Barerra was the smarter, more headstrong character: Hence, he was more prone to get the better of Morales.

In regards to Marquez... I love him as a fighter but PRIME 4 PRIME, I think he gets beat more times than not by both fighters. (Assuming that fights don't happen north of 130lbs)
