I love Floyd and not a fan of Fury, but I don't think this works here.
Wilder and Fury are both certified heavyweights, Wilder could not go down to cruiserweight if he wants to, and he refuses to fight at Bridgerweight (understandable). Wilder has been fighting at heavyweight for his entire professional career.
Marquez, on the other hand, last fought at 135 before fighting Mayweather at the 144 CW. Marquez had to jump up 2 weight classes and Mayweather not making the CW is a **** move IMO. That's like taking Loma and putting him in with an Errol Spence and Spence missing weight.
However, Floyd started at 130, and is not a big welterweight. It's just ****ty on his part not making weight, because I do think he would beat him regardless, and the ass whooping would've been worse had they fought at 130/135.
