I seem to remember Morales saying in the postfight interview with Merchant that it was a great fight, that no one deserved to lose, that Barrera had fought an unbelievable fight and deserved a rematch, that Barrera deserved to be a champion, etc.
Morales actually went over to Barrera and handed him the belt as a sign of respect, even though it was Morales' belt.
After all that, Barrera goes to talk with Merchant, and instead of returning the kind words, he said in Spanish, "I want everyone to know that HBO's champion (Morales) isn't any good."
That's sour grapes.

I wasn't talking about the 3rd fight, I was talking about the first. After the first fight, things got ugly between Barrera and Morales, and they both insulted each other all the time.
My original post wasn't talking about Morales' behavior, I was stating that Barrera isn't as classy as some people think. And it's true.
