    For me it's Morales-Barrera 1, just slightly ahead of Morales-Pacquiao 1

    Morales-Pac II. Great fight and unlike most on this list it had a great, undisputable ending

    Yup..I almost voted for it too. It's between this one and the Morales-barrera 3 fight.

    Morales vs. Barrera 1 and by a huge margin. Way 2nd is Pac vs. Morales 1. The last round where Morales turned southpaw and dared pac to slug with him still brings chills.

    Morales-Barrera 1 by a considerable margin.

    The 2nd best fight of the decade IMO behind Corrales-Castillo 1.

    Morales-Pac I was a GOOD Fight, but it was MORE than "Slightly" WORSE than Morales-Barrera I, N REED's Opinion...

    MAB vs Morales I and by some margin.

    Pac - Morales 1, MAB vs Morales 3 and Pac-Marquez 1 would be the next.

    You're right, but looking back on it in hindsight, considering what Pacquiao has achieved since, plus the fact that Morales never won another fight, it was the last great stand by a Mexican legend, temporarily halting the Pacquiao express. Sentimental value more than anything, was still a great fight but Morales-Barrera 1 was the best of the bunch no question.

    Mab/Morales I is just one of those truly special fights, there are only a handful of fights as good as that in the whole history of the sport... perhaps if you changed the poll to what is the best of the rest, then you'd have an interesting debate

    I have to say..i didn't expect such a landslide.

    Personally, while good, I have at least two of those fights ahead of Morales-Barrera 1.
