Diaz Eyes Chavez, Katsidis or Casamayor For 9/13

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

Katsidis please.

if diaz wants to be known as a true mexican he will fight katsidis. yes casamayor is the champ but he is a very boring fighter who will only run and hide. katsidis is a true warrior who will stand toe to toe and give the fans excitement. he is my favorite white fighter right now.

Katsidis should get his confidence back by fighting someone like Chavez...Juan Diaz should try to fight Casamayor.

Katsidis just got brutally KO'd. Why does he deserve a big fight?

He doesn't, but Diaz doesn't deserve Casamayor. Chavez I guess, but I'd rather see Katsidis vs Diaz for the terms of action.

[denboy]

I'd love to see Katsidis Diaz aswell, it would be more exciting than Diaz Casa.

[flipside]

katsidis vs diaz. its not about katsidis getting KO'd or none of that but about the ****ing action and excitement the fight will bring as a boxing fan i wouldnt want anything more.

Whatever happened to the champ getting first shot after a loss? There's no reason Mike shouldn't get a big fight despite his first loss. It's what the fans want to see. 55,000 people just turned up to watch a dog**** fight in Manchester. One of the worst fights I've ever seen, was Hatton-Lazcano.

The man wants to fight the best, and some of you are saying he shouldn't. What sort of boxing fans are you? You wanna see a mismatch because it's 'smart' on the part of Kat's handlers? Throw the man in there with Diaz, Campbell, Chavez - whoever - and enjoy the action. Mike ain't gonna be around forever.

I wanna see a Diaz Cambell rematch. I dont think Diaz was anticipating Nate to come rushing in with his head at every tie up. If it wasnt for that damn eye I feel Diaz wouldve won the fight. I hope they rematch or Pacquiao after he destroys David Diaz fights Juan Diaz.

According to Willie Savannah, manager of former lightweight champion Juan Diaz, the three frontrunners to face Diaz on the tentative date of September 13 in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center, are Jesus Chavez, Michael Katsidis and WBO-interim champion Joel Casamayor. He said there is no set deal in place to face any of the three. [details]

In a perfect world, Diaz would fight Katsidis and the winner of that fight should fight the winner of Casamayor/Campbell.

[Robenson]

Diaz and katsadis are both overrated but they are exciting to watch atleast. If they will fight each other, the losser will loss his carrer as well. Diaz should fight a bum first and not rush with el capillo, surely this fight is a make or break for him.

I agree with this 100%. I think it's sad how we sometimes have the best fighters up against fringe contenders and nobodies rather than one another. Pavlik vs Lockett, Cotto vs Gomez, Mundine vs Soliman, Hatton vs Lazcano etc. Yet when an exciting match up between two top fighters is discussed, people actually complain???

Katsidis was very close to beating Casamayor, and right now I'd pick him to win the re-match. He lost that fight because of the way he decided/was told by his corner to fight the last few rounds. Just because you lose, doesn't mean you haven't proven yourself as a top fighter.
