Secondly, Marquez was training and thinking that he would have a Floyd that would be coming in 144 or less.
Third and most importantly, you need to compound those 2lbs that you mentioned (Floyd came over) with Marquez was just getting used to 135 when Floyd called him up to fight him at WW. Big big difference!
Manny fought Marquez twice at Marquez's weight. Third time, Marquez took what he did from his previous attempt at 146 and adjusted for a fight at 144lbs against Manny.
Marquez actually looked bigger than Manny. Against Floyd, Floyd looked bigger while Marquez looked flabby and smaller. The bigger Floyd gave him the advantage over the smaller Marquez.
Last point is styles makes fights. Foreman beat Frazier and Norton easily but they gave Ali fits every time they fought. Ali beat Foreman.
