Casamayor vs JMM, Juan Diaz vs Katsidis, Campbell vs Guzman?

Boxingconfidential.com is reporting that a mid-October pay-per-view bout between Joel Casamayor and Juan Manuel Marquez is being planned by Golden Boy, which would then leave Juan Diaz to face Michael Katsidis in September in Houston, Texas. With all this, Nate Campbell's new WBO mandatory would be Joan Guzman. For all this talk of Campbell-Casamayor and just who is the real ruler of the lightweight division, I don't think anyone can argue that these are some pretty good fights that are taking place in what is a very fertile division. With Manny Pacquiao entering the mix (and I do expect him to best WBC titlist David Diaz at the end of the month) things should get only more interesting. Taken from maxboxing. Diaz vs Katsidis would be unbelievable but all of these fights would be interesting and exciting in what is IMO the best division in boxing right now. Thoughts?

I highly doubt Casamayor-Marquez will happen. Im pretty sure Casamayor-Diaz will happen, thats what Golden Boy wants. dont always trust what you read on the internet, quoted from managers and boxers

This means there is a strong possibility that none of the names under champions at lightweight now will still be there at the end of october. Hows that for shaking things up eh??:banana:

Juan diaz will beat Katsidis Guzman will beat Campbell... I've throw down a couple hundred on Guzman to pull it out.. who do you think will be the favorite Guzman or Campbell? I think it'll be an even money fight, maybe Guzman as the slight favorite.

I hear ya, I like Chavez and was hoping to see him in an action packed fight against my boy Katsidis. On the other hand Katsidis and Baby Bull would be great too, if not better. I got Katsidis by TKO (sorry Juan :() yo doode, we still on for the bet?? i put it in the sig. whats good?

These are the fights that should be put on NBC/CBS/ABC/FOX for free. all of those have potential to be very exciting. Definitely. I miss those days.

Damn, that sucks for Jesus Chavez. i talked to his trainer 2 days ago and they were hoping Diaz would take on casamayor so Jesus could take on Katsidis, then the winners would face each other. Yeah, this leaves Chavez and Santa Cruz as the odd men out right now. Maybe they should fight each other. I would really like to see Campbell-Guzman!:boxing: All of those fights are appealing to me..... All of those fights are worth looking forward to.

Diaz/Katsidis would be a great fight, it would be the shit if it was Diaz/Katsidis, Campbell/Casamayor, and Guzman/JMM all on the same card in some sort of lightweight tourney!!!! That would be an awesome card but most likely won't happen.

Diaz-Katsidis would obviously be great as neither guy fights going backwards, they'd meet each other in the centre of the ring. Michael has quite a significant power advantage, but I think Diaz would smother him, I don't think it would be all that difficult a fight for Juan, he's faster and throws more punches, and Katsidis cuts/has a terrible defence. Mike has a punchers chance I'd favor Diaz too.

Campbell-Guzman could be a very good fight but I think that Diaz' and Katsidis' styles will make for a great fight.

I agree that lightweight is the best division out there. All three of the fights would be great, but I have to say I'd like to Campbell and Guzman go at it the most.
