The barrera-Morales trilogy

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.

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

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!

Their first fight might be the best I have ever seen. It's right up there with Castillo-Corrales I and the Vazquez-Marquez fights.

Their first fight is my favourite boxing match ever . Ive sen it loads of times. My second favourite is Barrera vs Mckinney . Another classic . My thrid favourite is Chico vs Castillo 1. Shame their rematch never lived up to expectations.

I saw it for the first time a little while back, and after watching it I couldn't understand why it doesn't get more hype/respect as possibly the best fight ever. People go on and on about Castillo-Corrales, Gatti-Ward, and the Vazquez-Marquez fights, and justifiably so, but Barrera-Morales I doesn't seem to get the same level of respect and I think it was the best out of all those fights. Maybe it's because it's a bit older and it's been talked about to death before I became a boxing fan, I don't know...

GAME! how can you not have the naz beating as your seconed? the mckinney war was a fucking demon, but watching marco take that lil bitch to school and basicaly end his career that night was amazing, he put ona boxing clinic when he schooled naz.

Yeah its one of my favourite fights to watch but I was thinking of more classics in terms of action . The Nas fight was too one sided .

Morales-Barrera is the best trilogy of this decade. One thing I liked is that they took time off between the fights, so there were always new themes for each fight, unlike other trilogies where they just fight 3 times in a row in a short amount of time.

I thought Morales won the first two fights, with Barrera clearly winning the 3rd.

I still rank their first fight as the Fight of the Decade, above Castillo-Corrales I.

This matchup was a classic case of two guys who were already Hall of Famers in their own right, but when they got put in the same ring, they forced each other to go to even higher levels.
