I think if JMM can handle the weight at 140, he beats Bradley.
I don't think Marquez needs to even beat the best at 140, but should be able to fight anyone ranked in the top 6 to get his shot at Pac. Just prove the weight is fine and the history between the two seals the deal. It's not as though Manny jumped up and fought the best at 135 and he wasn't facing the best fighter at WW when he fought Cotto at a CW, so Marquez should be entitled to simply face a credible fighter at 140 like Pac has been able to do in certain divisions. Then there is no reason for anyone to be against a Pac/Marquez fight at 140.
And like I say, I am not even sure that Marquez can beat him, but I am convinced that he can make it interesting and test Manny in a way that other fighters are not able to. Size is not the challenge for Manny, it is precision counter punching and all any of us are asking is that Manny test himself. Get away from Arum and his constant in house shenanigans and get Manny in there with fighters on a winning streak or else are unbeaten.
Enough with these damaged or tainted fighters. It is doing nothing to enhance Manny's reputation.
With hindsight being 20/20 it's easy to come up with excuses why a guy wins. If I'm not mistaken you and I think most of this forum picked Hatton and Cotto to smash Pacquiao, but after Pacquiao wins it's they were damage, weight drain, shot, over the hill, and tainted, along with other myriad of excuses like Mayweather Sr. didn't do a good job of training or whoever that was training Cotto.
If it was Berto and Pacquiao won, it would have been he was too green. If it was Bradley and Pac won, it would have been Bradley was too small and green. And if Pac did fight JMM at 140 and he won, it would have been JMM was 37 and did'nt belong at 140 as an excuse. And more than likely the same people that would have wanted those fights and picking those guys to beat him would come out with the excuses I just made after Pac beats them.
I think that's how one acts like a boxing Nastradamus.
