By Cliff Rold - They are two of the biggest names in Boxing below Welterweight, accomplished multi-division titlists who have figured prominently in some of the decades best fights. With bona fides like that, it’s a lock that the pending matter of Joel Casamayor versus Juan Manuel Marquez, scheduled for September 13, would pique the curiosity of any fight fan. It’s the logical gut reaction, and there’s nothing wrong with going from the gut. [details]

I agree. Their styles will make for an interesting fight, not an entertaining one. -
Paquiao-Diaz: Styles, Not Names, Make Fights, idiotComment

If Joel's cardio is ON, fit and focused on this fight... he can beat JMM... Besides, JMM hasnt KO'd anybody above 130lbs...
JMM, is a good counter-puncher... Joel's good at it too but with more power... As long as both of these two fighters are well conditioned and focused, its a toss-up...
But, I will pick Casa...
Good luck, grandpas.... hahaha...Comment

Given what's happenin at 135, this fight is kinda important, but it don't promise any action. I'll be watchin, just not buyin if it happens.Comment

This is going to be a boring fight. Casa will run like a mofo and both fighters will be sitting back waiting to counter the other one.
Nope, no interest in watching this fight.Comment

Casamayor/Juan Manuel Marquez, Katsidis/Diaz, and Campbell/Guzman should all be on the same card if they plan on putting the Casamayor/Marquez fight on PPV!!!! Boxing needs to put together "REAL" cards, they act like they don't know how to promote there sport!!!! I actually believe it should be Casamayor/Campbell, Katsidis/Diaz and Guzman/Marquez with the Guzman/Marquez winner landing Pacquiao!!!!Comment

JMM's got more imagination than Katsidis and he can still fight a full 12 rounds. Casa's too old.Comment

Just Don't Buy It
Casamoyor-Marquez, Casamoyor-Diaz, Casamoyor-Diaz, or Diaz-Katsidis is Golden Boy Promotion's way of force feeding the boxing public unworthy pay-per-view events. Sorry Golden Boy, not until you give us Campbell-Diaz II, Casamoyor-Campbell II, or Marquez-Campbell will I purchase Casamoyor-Marquez. Currently there are only four fights in all of boxing that are PPV worthy. The PPV worthy fights are Mayweather-Cotto; Cotto-Margarito; Pacquiao-Marquez and Vasquez-Marquez packaged; and Pavlik-Calzaghe. Yes, I lefted off Chavez, Jr., De La Hoya, Hatton, Hopkins, Jones, Judah, Klitschko, Mosley, Tarver, Taylor, Trinidad, Williams, and Wright to name a few. The before mentioned fighters are very accomplished boxers but not special enough right now for a PPV date. The requirement for a fighter to get a PPV date would be to clean out a division, defeat opponents you are not suppose to defeat, and do it in spectacular fashion. Fighters like Muhammad Ali (Ali-Frazier I, Thriller in Manila, Rumble in the Jungle,) Julio Caesar Chavez (Taylor, Whitaker, De La Hoya,) Evander Holyfield (Holyfield-Bowe I, II, Holyfield-Tyson I, II, Holyfield-Lewis I, II, Holyfield-Foreman) and some other greats consistently rated PPV dates. I'm tired of being robbed so the only PPV event that I will purchase this year is Cotto-Margarito. I'm declining Casamoyor-Marquez, Pacquiao-David Diaz, De La Hoya-TBA, and any other unworthy fight cards that requires me to pay $54.95. Like many other smart consumers, I would have said, "Hell No" to De La Hoya-Mayweather this time around.
