    Who will unify the Lightweight Division?

    With all the great fights coming up and great matchup possibilities at 135 , who has the best chance at unifying the division?

    I've included the 3 Super Featherweights that I believe will be jumping to 135 as well.
    37
    Manny Pacquiao
    35.14%
    13
    Joel Casamayor
    13.51%
    5
    Nate Campbell
    16.22%
    6
    Juan Diaz
    5.41%
    2
    David Diaz
    0.00%
    0
    Jose Santa Cruz
    0.00%
    0
    Julio Diaz
    0.00%
    0
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    13.51%
    5
    Joan Guzman
    16.22%
    6
    Edwin Valero
    0.00%
    0

    The division is loaded with talent so it's hard to pick. I'd say Guzman.

      guzman is good. i think he's a better boxer than juan manuel.

      that can't be good for manny but i don't know if he can take a punch like juan or better yet get up from a punch like juan did against manny.

      outside of juan diaz and manny , the only other lightweight i see being able to unify is joan guzman.

      i don't think marquez will be able to hang at 135 , valero won't be koing everyone like he does at 130 , joel is too old , same for campbell , david and julio diaz is a longshot to unify , and i don't know how santa cruz is gonna get fights.

        Plus Guzman is Campbell's mandatory, I wonder how many titles would be on the line if they fight.

            Tough choice, but if we are presented with the match ups that are scheduled:

            -Joan Guzman vs Nate Campbell
            -Marquez vs Casamayor
            -Pacquiao vs Diaz

            Marquez will beat Casamayor and Guzman will beat Campbell. These two will unify in a bout while Pacquiao takes on Amir Khan (who should be on this list by the way), beats Khan, and then Marquez beats Pacquiao in an upset.

            Granted Guzman-Marquez, Pacquiao-Khan, Pacquiao-Marquez 3 could possibly go either way

              i only had space for 10 slots. i put the top 6 lightweights. that left 4 spots.

              manny is already fighting for a belt at 135 and rumor is juan ma is gonna be fighting casa.

              that left 2 spots. it was either the super feathers valero and guzman or katsidis and khan. i picked edwin and joan because they have more experience and much higher rated than the 2 young lightweights. besides i think they're taking it slow with khan and michael's people should take it slow as well since you don't know how a ko loss affects a young , undefeated prospect.

                Why not put Guzman, Khan, then take out Julio Diaz (seriously? lol) and put in Katsidis.

                  how did guzman get the mandatory with campbell?

                  isn't he still at 130?
