The barrera-Morales trilogy

[HattonTheHammer]

If anyone ever needed proof that boxing was the most exciting exhilarating sport created by man you neednt look no further than the 3 wars these 2 had.

Day off from work and i decided what the hell i`ll draw the curtains, open a few brewski`s and sit back and watch the 3 wars back to back.

The aggresion both showed, the back and forth nature each and every round had in it. Every time either guy looked to have the upper hand back came the other with a barrage of stinging shots.

I scored all 3 fights dead even but for the Knockdown that wasnt in the 1st fight.

Has there even been a greater setup of matchups not only in pro boxing but in sport all together??

What a cracking Trilogy!
I had it scored for Barrera in the first and third, but for Morales in the 2nd!
Mind you it could go either way in any of the fights.

The punishment they both administered and withstood was awesome, but probably shaded years of their fighting careers.

i think marquez vasqeuz pushes it close

Very...
I find that both of these are higher in my estimation than Gatti v Ward because of the significance of the fights.

1st fight had everything you could possibly ask from a boxing match.

Both had the upper hand in every round, both were hurt badly in most rounds, both finished that 12th and final round pretty much out on their feet.

I had it by 1 for morales until the final round when not only did barrera win the round but got the knockdown giving him on mine and another judges scorecard the sneak 114-113 win.

But for a potential pac-Marq 3rd fight i honestly cannot see the trilogy ever being beaten in terms of out and out excitement.

I would like to watch them all again. I had them MAB, EM MAB, but perhaps too close to call any of em.

I watched the second Pac v Marquez fight with the sound off so I missed a lot of the atmosphere, but I don't think it's quite as good as Barrera v Morales.

i also feel the first fight was alot better than the other two and the entire trilogy isnt as good as morales/barrera or vasquez/marquez

The first fight was a corker and the third fight was thrilling also, But the weak second fight was far below anything that Morales/barrera/Vasquez or Marquez offered.

when you consider the fact that many people feel boxings popularity has fallen due to a weak heavyweight division, its a shame that these lower divisions dont have the same draw power, as they tend to have the more exciting fights imo

Thats 100% on the button.
I really can't account for the publics love affair with the heavies.
The smaller men are more skilled, faster, more willing to fight, fight more regularly, have better physiques and often personalities and fight in much more loaded divisions.

I can't fathom it

[hitmanhatton]

think too many think along the lines of bigger is better

heavyweights are beloved to have alot more power and knock people out more often and therefore many casual fans/ general public see it as the only divison that matters

[SE7EN]

Vazquez-Marquez trilogy is better. Lots of action, too violent.

But if you talk about in terms of rivalry, no fighters tops the Barrera-Morales.

I much prefer Morales-Barrera and Vazquez-Marquez. The skill level of both fighters is much higher in those fights than the Gatti-Ward trilogy.

Same here . I dont think Barrera - Morales will ever be equalled . Atleast not in my lifetime.

The 1st fight was the best . I think they got the wrong winner but a classic non the less . 2nd fight was more tactical, I think Marco looked at teh Hamed fight and realised he could win big fights without taking punches and he did . But in the 3rd fight he got that warrior mentality back and im glad he did . Great trilogy!
