Exactly.I agree with this post completely. I said it from the get go that I thought this was a mismatch. Marquez was a great lightweight but I even think lightweight was higher than his best weight.
If a fight with the P4P #1 guy is possible, then he doesn't lose his spot until he gets beaten. Floyd needs to beat Pac. Beating #2 doesn't make you #1 (Even though he DESTROYED #2).
I think Marquez could still make 130 if he wanted to.
He only moved up to 135 to chase a third fight with Pacquiao.
