I see what your getting at Fenster and i do agree. Marquez was coming off a very ugly fight with Norwood. And Naseem was the top man at Featherweight so why would Marquez turn the offer down ?? i know Naseem did turn down Marquez's offer before that and yes Naz, did only offer Marquez the fight when he see Marquez didn't impress against Norwood. But if i was Marquez i would of taken that offer with both hands and i wouldn't of let go that was a big chance at super stardom for Marquez. And i can't see why he would turn it down.

Was there any excuse made public, I cant remember? Fighters dont usually just say no and chicken out with out a call, after all they are fighters.
