I don't know if I like this. Isn't he a normal size middleweight?  Not sure that guys do much better when they switch divisions.

Yeesh.... this could reach James Irvin-levels of drawn out and deathly thin.  Remember Irvin at middleweight for the fight against Sakara? Marquardt will be like that at welterweight.  He is a huge guy.  I always saw him as a big middleweight.  That could end badly.

He seemed like he was huffin' and puffin' last pretty hard night. I'd imagine that would increase substantially with a big weight cut to 170.

He'd be shredded at 170.

Way too big for 170. Really, he would gas 1st round. xD

I had a lengthy chat with Marquardt on Thursday on this very topic. The article will likely be up on Monday morning on the blog.
