    Maybe because Morales fought the better competition?

    Plus Morales did have wins over Jones and Pacquiao who both beat MAB twice.

    Pac did beat Morales twice, but Morales beat Pac first.

    Morales didnt have better competetion than Barrera

    I'd say the greatest Mexican is Barrera . Chavez is his closest rival but Barrera is a better technical boxer plus he has superfight wins over unefeated superstars .

    actually Chavez was a damn good technical fighter and he showed it on various occasions that he could box, he did so in the Randall rematch, he could move well even though he was no Roy Jones and he had a good jab, Barrera IMO did have a bit more technical ability but that's the only thing he edges over Chavez. JCC has a record that pretty much neither, Morales, Barrera,no Marquez can compete with, he's taken on more big names than either of them, although not winning them all, but he has plenty of big name wins on his record as well, over better talent than that of Barrera IMO

    Chavez:
    Ruben Castillo
    Roger Mayweather (2X)
    Rocky Lockridge
    Juan Laporte
    Edwin Rosario
    Rafael Limon
    Jose Luis Ramirez
    Meldrick Taylor (2X)
    Hector Camacho
    Greg Haugen
    Pernell Whitaker (even though a draw, he took the fight)
    Frankie Randall (W2 L1)
    Tony Lopez
    Oscar De La Hoya (L-2)
    Kostya Tzyu (L-1)

    Barrera:
    Agapito Sanchez
    Kennedy Mckinney
    Junior Jones (L-2)
    Erik Morales (W2-L1)
    Naseem Hamed
    Johnny Tapia (and he was passed his best)
    Kevin Kelly
    Manny Pacquiao (L-2)
    Paulie Ayala
    Mzonke Fana
    Robbie Peden (decent fighter that KO'd Campbell twice)
    Rocky Juarez (2X)
    Juan Manuel Marquez (L-1)
    Amir Khan (L-1 should have been a NC)

    If you take apart the fighters they faced, Chavez actually has had the better opposition

    and as for the Morales/Barrera deal...

    Morales:
    Daniel Zaragoza
    Junior Jones (WTKO-4)
    Angel Chacon (fought plenty of big names and gave them good fights)
    Wayne McCullough
    Marco Antonio Barrera (W-1 L-2)
    Kevin Kelly (WTKO-7)
    Gutty Espadas Jr (tough close UD, then blew him out in 3 in the rematch)
    In Jin Chi
    Paulie Ayala
    Jesus Chavez
    Carlos Hernandez
    Manny Pacquiao (W-1 L-2)
    Zahir Raheem (L-1)
    David Diaz (L-1, was complete bullshit loss)

    and you can argue who's fought the best between them, me? i say Morales has had the better opposition, and never sacrificed his way of fighting to win, ultimately i feel this is what led to Morales' downfall at such a young age of 30 but taking so many blows to the head for over 14 yrs will do that to you, i say Barrera's longevity gives him a boost to compete against Morales for greatest Mexican Fighter of all time, but honestly the same way that i scored their trilogy is where i'll put both of them, tied
