It's very simple. As early as the first fight, he had Morales in trouble. He hurt him in the 12th round (due to the fact that Morales switched to south paw for entertainment purposes).
In the second meeting, it all finally caught up with Morales. All the wars with Barrera, Chi, Pacquiao himself. It caught up with him. It happens. Not to take anything away from Pacquiao but MOrales was a shade faded. Just happens in boxing.
In the third encounter, Morales wanted it badly, but he knew it was a mistake from the first round on. Before then, Morales always felt he could pull it off. In that first round, he knew this wasnt going to happen. Knowing that you've seemingly already lost against a very focused and pissed off Pacquiao (because Morales had said he wasn't really hurt by Pacquiao) will hurt you mentally. It will get you to emotionally fold a lot quicker.
In terms of his bout with Marquez, it's simple. Marquez hasn't had that many wars, especially not in comparison to Morales. Marquez is a different kind of BOXER. Also, Marquez gave Pacquiao fits due to his angles, counter punching and making him pay for mistakes. It's harder to hurt or stop a guy that gives you something to think about.
Morales couldn't give him anything in the last fight of their trilogy or in the final half of the second meeting.
