I don't know if he was 158 pounds or not, but he was way heavier than JMM.
The fight was supposed to happen at 144, but Marquez was just 142, so we must asume that he couldn't pack on more weight at the time of that fight. Yeah, JMM may be heavier now, but people should realize that fight was 2 years ago and that most of the times as a boxer gets older, he also gets heavier.
Regarding Floyd, he weighted 146 pounds, so in that case we must asume that he couldn't get to 144, so that means he was dehydrated, and at the time of the fight he should have been about 156-158 pounds.
Some people say that 158 is way too much weight for Floyd, but remember than when he fought against De la Hoya he weighted 150 pounds, that menas his body could get some weight on. And also, at the time he got JMM, he was coming from 2 inactivity years, so I do believe that he was 156-158 pounds at the time of the fight.
