According to trainer Rogelio Espino, WBA/IBF super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero has WBO champ Juan Manuel Lopez on his list of targets. Lopez is one of several names that Caballero would like to fight. Caballero himself admits that a lot of work would be needed to make such a fight. Caballero has been having a tough time making 122-pounds - but he can make it.

"I hope that a unification fight can be made with Juanma Lopez. Celestino possesses the mindset to a diet and drop the weight. He can do 122 pounds, but we do not rule out the possibility to move up [in weight]. Other names that interests us are Israel Vazquez, Rafael Marquez and Jhonny Gonzalez.  We want the better, but [the fights] do not depend on us," Espino told Primera Hora.
