MAB vs Morales: who deserves more praise?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Morales by far. It's a no-brainer. He beat Manny,MAB never came close in either fight. And when both were close to being shot/far past their prime,Morales fought like a warrior that he is and has been his whole career. He came to KTFO Manny. MAB just wanted to survive.

Like Morales fighting hard is not always fighting smart. Some folks here could learn from that.

True,but who has earned more respect,MAB or EM from their fighting Manny? I think it's safe to say Erik.

In terms of how they faced Pac Morales gains more accolade, but career wise Barrera will have a greater legacy

Each to their own. I think Morales has the better legacy. He lost 2 of 3 to MAB that could have just as easily gone the other,36 of the most evenly contested rounds in boxing. And Morales beat better fighters overall imo. MAB has the edge in longeviety,I prefer Erik's superior resume.

Longevity is important in my book, i guess thats why i rate Barrera so highly. It must also be taken into account that Barrera rebounded from his losses seemingly more profoundly than Erik did. i.e He lost to Morales, came back and beat him trwice, he lost to Junior Jones twice was exposed as a crude slugger and came back with a new repotoire of skills and defense (which allowed him to defeat Naseem Hamed.)
Additionally i personally favour Barrera as his losses (apart from the Jones drubbings) seemed to be far less severe in comparisonm to some of the painful sagas Morales endured.
