Okay let's look at this again.
Oscar- that was not as even half as impressive as When Sugar Shane took on a prime Oscar who was just 27 with only 1 loss and not weight drain, Sugar Shane mind you also jump 2 weight classes to fight him!
Morales- Was way past his prime in all 3 fights. Too many wars had sapped his body's strength and punch resistance. He wasn't past his physical prime but past his boxing prime. Being in tough fights like with Barrera will and can take years off a fighters prime!
Hatton- Never elite in my mind, just good and dominated an division that was really weak at the time. A prime Kostya Tszyu beats the crap out of Hatton and really seriously hurts the Pacman.
Barrera- Was clearly shot in this fight, it was one of those fights where a fighter just ages right in front of you. No way a 25 or 26 year old MAB gets embarrassed like that. MAB had been in too many wars up to that point and was shot. It's like an 23 year old Oscar beating up on a 34 year old Chavez.
Marquez- Robbed in both fights. Just Like Sweetpea Whittaker getting robbed by Chavez! Almost every boxing expert had Marquez winning by 2 or 3 points in the 2nd fight, and at least by 1 point in the first fight! One of the worst decisions in boxing.
Stop being blind folks, his accomplishments have serious "WTF" moments in them. But since he fights an exciting style he draws praises. His boxing skills are downright atrocious and primitive, like a smaller version of Tyson. And just like Tyson when you outbox and outhink the 1 dimensional brawler, you beat them!
