If pac lost to marquez at lightweight would the bubble burst?

[Gandalf]

As if Pac would ever go to that weight. That would be the real gentlemanly thing to do, but Pac is no gent and boxing has no morals.

Sure, the bubble would burst, but nobody is blowing that bubble.

Manny's last fight was for the junior middleweight title, albiet at 150 lbs, so we will say two and a half divisions above lightweight.

Please remind me what fighters Manny made drop two and a half divisions to fight him?

Oscar moved back to 147 from his previous fight at 150 against Forbes, Cotto gave up a pound, and Margarito was a career welterweight who, if you don'tcount his comeback against a nobody, actually gained 4 lbs for the fight with Manny.

His other fights, all won by domination were against Diaz, Hatton and Clottey, all at their chosen weight classes with no concessions asked for.

But all of that was unfair, whereas it would be fine, indeed gentlemanly for Marquez to drag him down two and half weight divisions and 15 lbs to lightweight?

No the "bubble" would not burst because 1 loss does not define a fighter or his career.

It's cliche but styles make fights.

Duran beat SRL
SRL beat Hearns
Hearns beat Duran

So Pac loosing would only make the JMM-Pac saga that much more interesting.

After Erik lost a 3rd fight with MAB people still wanted to see him fight and he goes on to beat Pac in a brilliant performance.

Going down to 135 is probably too much to ask. However, if they are to fight it should at least be no higher than 140. Marquez would be making more than his share of the effort in doing that and would no doubt be taking less of the money as well. Otherwise, they should just not bother with it.

We all frowned upon Mayweather for picking on a LW and now that Manny has grown into the higher weights, we should frown on him doing exactly the same to exactly the same opponent.
