BoxingScene.com has learned that the WBO has informed the necessary parties that it plans to enforce the lightweight clash between full champion Juan Manuel Marquez and interim-champion Michael Katsidis. Marquez also holds the WBA's version of the lightweight title. Katsidis picked up the interim-title last weekend when he grabbed a twelve round decision over Vicente Escobedo on the Mayweather-Marquez undercard.

I'd like to see a Katsidis-Valero fight, with the winner getting JMM. Although I wouldn't complain if the Marquez - Katsidis fight gets made.

If Marquez lost to Katsidis, I'd say he's shot, but that won't happen. I think it would be an okay fight. Hatton wouldn't dream of fighting a guy that almost beat Pac. Like I said before; If he comes back, it's gonna be an easier fight like Diaz or even Malignaggi II.

Would like to see him unify the belts at 135 with Valero or at least defend the WBO against Katsidis. Marquez does not belong above 135lbs and probably was at his best at 126 or 130. If JMM does not defend his belt Katsidis will become full WBO champion and can probably face Valero to unify.
