Bottom line is that Marquez is unproven above 135, while Pac is and their will be that question mark next to Floyd's W.
That's true.. Having never fought over 135, Mayweather is a very very tough opponent to step up to.. Marquez is a tough smart fighter, but there is something to be said of a small guy going in against a bigger stronger man.. And it's hard to say he has a big advantage in any one area that really would make up for a possible big size difference....

The weight hasn't been set though, and if it's at 140 it certainly makes it a lot better.. Every pound above that is adding more unknown quantity to Marquez ability to carry his goods up and bring everything he has..
