Juan Diaz in Line For The Marquez/Casamayor Winner

BoxingScene.com was informed that Golden Boy Promotions are looking at possibly matching "Baby Bull" Juan Diaz (34-1, 17KOs) against the winner of Saturday's lightweight battle between Joel Casamayor and Juan Manuel Marquez. Diaz outpointed Michael Katsidis in a dominating performance last Saturday in Houston, Texas.

Diaz's manager, Willie Savannah, confirmed to BoxingScene that Golden Boy has mentioned the possibility of Diaz fighting the winner of Saturday's fight. Savannah feels that matching Diaz against Marquez, due to the styles, would make for a better fight.

"Golden Boy did mention that the other night. We would love to fight Juan Manuel Marquez. If they did it in Houston, that fight would be big with all of the Mexican fans," Savannah said.

Savannah predicts that Marquez should pull out the win, but if Casamayor is the victor, depending on how he wins, they would consider that fight as well. Joan Guzman is another possbility - if he gets past WBA/IBF/WBO champion Nate Campbell in their upcoming fight, also scheduled for this Saturday. He admits that one of the better fights at 135-pounds is a rematch between Diaz and Campbell, but neither he or Diaz will even consider making the fight as long as Campbell is co-promoted by Don King.

Diaz/Savannah and King had a very nasty and public war of words during and after Diaz's departure earlier this year from DKP. Diaz left King when his contract expired and signed a multi-year deal with Golden Boy.

"It all depends on how Casamayor looks. If he wins impressive, but if he wins in a real ugly fight, we might not want to do it. We would fight Guzman if he beats Campbell. One of the best fights in this division is a rematch between Juan and Nate Campbell. But it will never, never happen as long as Nate is with Don King," Savannah said.

i don't why nobody seems to talk about valero fighting against a mexican. is it because valero was a nobody or the mexicans don't take the risk of losing? i know marquez, juan diaz, nate campbell, casamayor or even barerra will beat valero easily. but it seems no promoter talks about pitting v...

jmm will surely beat casamayor... casamayor is shot and lost to cruz. i like jmm over diaz, but it could be a close fight where diaz's activity beats jmm's accuracy.

This is one where it is ACTUALLY LEGITIMATE to say he won't face him because of the promoter. Their is ACTUAL beef not like a promoter and a damn manager, which is PURE BULLSHIT.

I think Diaz beats Casamayor but Marquez gives Diaz hell. Diaz will definitely hold his own though. I would like to see that matchup though. I respect both dudes immensely.
