Are you more fan of MAB or Morales?

[Stinky gloves]

Just wanna to know who is more popular here ....
a maybe you know who is more popular in Mexico and why?

[the_what]

Ive always been a fan of MAB. True legend in the ring. Never liked Morales much.

[KayEpps]

I like them both - but if I had to choose one - it would be MAB. Haven't seen him quit yet.

[Illmatic]

Morales...he is the definition of bad ass

[Stinky gloves]

MAB, but Morales is right behind him. Both are very popular in Mexico. Morales probably more in the Northern states, while Barerra is from Mexico Ciudad and is popular there.

I heard there are some issues based on the ethnicity and/or the social status. Is that true?

[Illmatic]

Morales is real,,,barrera always tries to play like an angel when it was HE who started the brawl at the press conference, HE who tried to foul his way out of the fight with Pac, HE who slammed Hamed into a post, HE who intentionally hit Marquez when he was down.

Morales is real/hes based on a true story

[Stinky gloves]

Floyd Mayweather Junior.

Floyd? His own father don't even like him.

MAB is gangsta. My favorite moment in the thrilogy was when he held out 2 fingers in Morales face after he won the rubbermatch. MAB was saying 'In your face, bitch' :yep

[Stinky gloves]

Floyd mayweather is far more a warrior then Erik " Ruiz Jr" Morales.

You mean Floyd "Speedy Runner" Gonzalez?

[Stinky gloves]

'In your face, bitch' :yep

How would that be in Spanish?

Morales is straight gangster. some gangster moments:

1. Getting rocked by Pac in the first fight, and Morales stands and shakes his fists like "lets go" and then drives Pac to the ropes and drills him

2. Losing to Mab in the third fight, then IMMEDIATELY signing to fight Pac

3. His corner tells him hes got the fight with pac won, dont do anything stupid. Then he goes out and fights Pac left handed in the last round, getting rocked the whole way just for entertainment value

Larry merchant- "Why did you do that?"
Morales- "Did you enjoy it?"
Larry Merchant- "Very much so"
Morales- "okay then"

4. Rematching Espadas after having a tough time with him the first time, starching him in three.

5. Getting rocked by Jesus Chavez, then coming back in the second round to floor Chavez twice.


Morales is a mu'fuckin beast!

pretty much what i was gonna say.

i def respect Morales alot more. he beat Pacquiao convincingly and gave him a rematch, then he gets his ass beat and takes the 3rd fight right after. more important, he took his losses like a real champ.

Yeah throwing his water bottle at MAB and his father was real classy of Morales.

i didnt say he was classy, he is what he is and he doesnt give a shit. But whats classy about MAB throwing punches at a press conference, puttin his fingers up or whatever, and then saying afterwards that he wants to be morales' friend but Morales is mean to him?

Morales "Hes a faggot, plain and simple"

Barrera "well, I want to be his friend, but hes so mean to me, I dont know why, blahblahblah"

[Illmatic]

Yeah, but Barrera will sock you dead in the face during press conferences and he'll foul you however he pleases if he's feeling a little ticked off at that very moment. All that is just straight up cold hearted gangstaness for you right there. :yep

not when you go to the press conferences and claim you accidentally did all that and that you want to be everyones friend....thats not gangsta

[younghov2k4]

:lol::lol:

that's REAL bad blood right there. it's no secret that they hate each other even though Marco acts otherwise on certain interviews.

Marco made 100 excuses when he got his ass beat by Pac and avoided him as much as he could until now. there wont be any excuses now but im sure he will find one.

[Thread Stealer]

Barrera.

While Morales was the most entertaining fighter in boxing during this decade, I always liked Barrera's punching style better.

[chewy 22]

I always thought Barrera was the better boxer to watch, just cause he has better power and the more stylish knock outs

[Oscar de la Roa]

morales is more popular at the north zone of mexico and barrera at the south

[Mind Reader]

I like Morales but more of a fan of MAB.

[psychopath]

MAB! MAB! MAB!

:happy :happy :happy

. . . and I'm a HAMED hater. :D :yep :good

[Stinky gloves]

Where is popular JMM?

[psychopath]

Where is popular JMM?

JMM is never popular in the level of MAB and Morales. If he is . . . the Morales fight could have happened and the MAB fight happened much much earllier. In fact he is the only dual title holder I knew who got stripped of his titles because of a failed bid in a mandatory fight. No promoter would pay him $50,000 for his mandatory fight . . . what does that says? :D

[andyZOR]

Morales is badass.

[Morrissey]

Just wanna to know who is more popular here ....
a maybe you know who is more popular in Mexico and why?

The next time you put up a poll, at least, make an effort to make sure the word you are placing there is correct.

Philipinians? WTF is that?!!! :huh

If you are not sure of the word, you could have just left it out, and spared yourself of looking like a 13-year old ignorant idiot.:-(

[pipe wrenched]

Where is popular JMM?

I like both MAB and Morales, but my fave is JMM.:good

[Scar]

Definitely Morales, one of my all-time favorites.

[ripcity]

i didnt say he was classy, he is what he is and he doesnt give a shit. But whats classy about MAB throwing punches at a press conference, puttin his fingers up or whatever, and then saying afterwards that he wants to be morales' friend but Morales is mean to him?

Morales "Hes a faggot, plain and simple"

Barrera "well, I want to be his friend, but hes so mean to me, I dont know why, blahblahblah"
I respect Morales as a boxer but droping a "F" bomb is not bad ass it is fucking LAME.

[psychopath]

Not so much anywhere. The brothers have never had the level of popularity that Barerra and Morales have had. People know who they are, but their fights have not been televised to the same extent. TV exposure plays into it alot

Promoters's problem dude.

[EL MATADOR13]

I like watching both of them fight, never miss their fights. But Morales is my fav. fighter. lost some respect for barrera when he made fun of morales poor background. Both great fighters though!

[etong_08]

They both embodies that true Mexican machismo witthin them. Thumbs up for these two great fighters!

[bladerunner]

MAB is my fav active fighter but i have great respect for Morales hes badass.

[o_money]

You know it seems stupid to me to think this way but I've got to go with morrales......I think it was his first two fights with pac that did it for me. I think the way barrera almost seemed resigned to defeat before his fight with pac vs the way morrales gave it everything he had both times (not including the third fight cause I'll cut him some slack on that one) and in the end went out on his shield cemented him in my mind as the favourite between the two. Like I said if you consider both careers this may seem like a petty distinguishing factor given the amount of times both of these guys have gone to war. But its how i feel.

[DobyZhee]

Morales is a friend of the Filipinos. He did two beer commercials w/ Pacquiao during his two visits w/ his wife in the Philippines. He loves the Philippines and he was mobbed by fans in posh mall in my place (Ayala Alabang).

Pinoys love him in that commercial when he said holding a bottle of San Miguel beer, "Wala kang katulad, Manny!" It means, "There's no one like you, Manny."

I think Pinoys find Barrera a nice guy, too. He hasn't said any trash words against Manny. Who knows, he might be invited to visit the Phils to do a beer commercial w/ Manny, Eric, and Freddie Roach.

pinoys love anybody with more money than them. Its just funny how during the trilogy, Morales was totally hated. He makes a cheese commercial and he could be the next best actor in the philippines.

Choosing between them is like choosing between your own children. I don't hate either, but I think I'd give the edge to Morales for immediately going for the rematch in Pac's prime. Compared to MAB totally dissappearing off the radar and not wanting an immediate rematch.

When it came to excuses..

MAB: I lost because of a forrest fire

Morales: I gave it my best shot

advantage: Morales

When it comes to people saving their asses from a complete annhilation:

MAB: His corner throws in the towel

Morales: Just elected to stay on the ground

advantage: even

[BobDigi5060]

Both but moreso Morales because I got to meet him.

yeah this is after making statements like I want to be friends with him but he's just mean to me. Thats disengenuous. At least morrales doesn't beat around the bush on this one.

[Ramshall1]

I was a MAB fan until he did his best SPinks impression and ran from Juarez in the rematch . . .with his gloves taped up to his fingertips.

Shoulda rematched Pac years ago. . . waited until JMM earned the Pac rematch to take it.

[Oscar de la Roa]

Where is popular JMM?

Juan manuel is also popular in mexico city (south) cause he is trained by beristain who also trained finito lopez and daniel zaragoza but he is not as popular as morales or barrera

[nervousxtian]

Fan of both, they are such opposite personalities, but both brought it hard in the ring. More a fan of the earlier brawling MAB, but still watch him everytime he fights.

[theunderdog]

morales. and where the hell do philipinians come from?

[theunderdog]

The Philipines. :nut

nah. people from there are filipinos. or pinoys:nut

[retriever]

Morales...gansta but honest


MAB = cheater lousy losser

[BxN]

Ive always been a fan of Morales. True legend in the ring. Never liked MAB much.

[nezy37]

Morales all the way

[brooklyn1550]

Mab

[jimmie]

Im a huge Barrera fan so I cant stand Morales but have immense respect for him. However him being the so called true defintion of badass is complete bullshit badass is Marvin Hagler I never saw him shaking his head to the ref to stop a fight before.

[johnco]

both until the 1-d former 106 pounder gate crashed their party... the rest is history :rasta

[H .]

both.. maybe MAB a tad more

[jimmie]

Pacquiao was 16 when he fought at that weight class so lets not pretend a natural Strawweight beat Morales and Barrera.

[theunderdog]

you can't expect a fair arguement from a nuthugger jimmie. just can't

[CarltonBlues]

Mab

[Stewbear]

used to be MAB but now Morales think he won two out of three of their fights, and MAB can be a bitch.

[paulfv]

I love Morales, but I rooted for MAB when they fought. MAB will always get a little more love from me for punking The Prince

[Bangis]

erik gets my vote... and what are Philipinians its Filipinos man....

1. Morales didnt shake his head, he looked at his corner

2. Whats badass about retiring after a loss just to cry about it for the next 30 years?

Hold on when was Hagler-Leonard 87 ? I was born in 87 if im 30 years old explain to me when my ID card says im 19.

[Thread Stealer]

just like it was real classy for Barrera to say this after the first fight with Morales, "Your champion is not good." He was referring to Morales after Morales came over and hugged him and tried to give him back the WBO belt he won that night.

And you have to remember the Barrera who ran after Juarez AFTER their fight had ended and started yelling crap to him. Too bad he didn't stand and fight like that. He sure is a classy gent, isn't he?

You also left out M.A.B. sucker-punching both Morales and McKinney at press conferences.

[Illmatic]

look up sarcasm and exaggeration. Haglers been crying about a fight he cleanly lost since 87. And he's more bad ass than Morales? Please
