    History will probably remember Barrera more fondly, as he was more of a golden boy. He had that "Baby Face Assassin" moniker attached to him early, and he had the Chavez comparisons.

    Morales was more of a rebel type, not a particularly good looking guy, and not a particularly pretty style.

    History will be less favorable to Morales imo.

    Yeah.. one way or another I tend to bias a bit against fighters that rely on their ability to dehydrate down to ridiculous levels to make weight so they can have a size advantage in the ring… compared to fighters that are closer to their natural weight and rely more heavily on their skills and conditioning.

    Some of the things you hear about these obnoxious weight cutting sprints prior to weigh-in… :Facepalm:

    Morales Often DUMBED DOWN His Style and was Lured Into His Opponents Preferred Manner of Fighting...

    When Jesus was deported his original manager cut him loose. My friend helped him handle his situation and resume his career. They operated on a handshake agreement through two world championships.

    Really close to call. Might have to give the edge to Morales. He does have win over Barrera, plus wins over the 2 guys that beat Barrera decisively.

    Barrera: Morales (x2), Hamed, Tapia, Ayala, McKinney, Kelley, Juarez (x2)
    Morales: Pacquiao, Barrera, Zaragoza, Ayala, Jones, McCullough, Espadas Jr (x2)
