Rank the 3 Great Mexican Featherweights

[Wacko3205]

Ok, this current generation of fighters has featured 3 great Mexican featherweights:
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Juan Manuel Marquez

For the sake of this thread, let's assume that neither Barrera nor Morales ever fights again (which I hope is true for the sake of their health) and that Marquez will now face Pacquiao in a rematch later this year.

1. As of right this minute, how do you rank their careers?
2. How would Marquez's standing change if he wins or loses against Pacquiao?
3. If Morales and Marquez fought in their primes, who would have won?

Back in the day it’d be Julio Caesar Chavez,
Salva Sanchez, & Olivares.

Admittedly I have seen Salva only one time…but he had the goods from what I saw & read.


Today…in this order: Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, & Morales.

Personally I think that Marquez is waaaaaaaaay too underappreciated for what he is. It has nothing to do with the Barrera win…I’ve said it for a long long time that he had it coming to him.

Glad he arrived in tow!
