defeating a lighter opponent in Marquez? NO For not making weight? NO He even did not weigh at fight night so noone would know his true weight..
Other then JMM die hard, who hear had JMM winning? PBF did exatcly what people said he would do. He would dominate JMM with speed and power. He was favored 5 - 1 over JMM. Beating the crap out of a guy 2 weights higher then he has ever fought isn't something that would elevate a fighters stock in my book.
His stock rises may'be .0000001%. Nobody gave Marquez a chance this is what was supposed to happen and it was no shock. The only thing I expected from Marquez was winning 2 may'be 3 rounds.
Its hard to give alot credit, JMM did make PBF look awesome, but we all saw what a mismatch it really was.
