    "With WBC lightweight champion David Diaz slated for a summer showdown with Manny Pacquiao, the other hot fight at 135 lbs. appears to be showdown between newly crowned WBO/WBA/IBF champion Nate Campbell and interim WBO champion Joel Casamayor.

    Reportedly, when Casamayor beat Michael Katsidis last month, the WBO sanctioned the interim title fight with the condition that the winner be matched against Campbell on or before July 6. With both camps purportedly interested in making Campbell-Casamayor happen, the Puerto Rican-based sanctioning body has given the two groups 15 days to negotiate and possibly request a purse bid. Otherwise, a purse bid will be ordered shortly thereafter."

    So with the WBO ordering a Casamayor/Campbell fight, what do ya'll think this fight will do for the lightweight division.. If I can remember, I do believe these two are ranked #1 & #2 by The Ring.. So where would the winner go? Only other fights I can see them taking after this is the winner vs Kahn or Pacquiao by it looks like Pac is going for Hatton after the Diaz fight..

    I thought so too, but I guess they want this fight since Campbell has the WBO title and Casa has the WBO interim title.. If Casa loses this fight, then I guess he could get that fight with Diaz..

    Casamayor is nearly shot and I can't see him winning this fight under any situation other than Campbell showing up completely unmotivated. If Campbell will be in anywhere near the kind of condition he was in for the Diaz fight, he will destroy Casamayor easily. The Katsidis fight was exciting and a nice win, but going life and death with him says a lot about Joel and the current state he's in.

    I guess if Casamayor-Campbell II is in the works, Diaz vs. Katsidis is a good prossibility for the undercard.

    All I'm seeing is Casa/Diaz.

    Haven't seen anything but quatos from Campbell crying about another fight with Casa.

    I doubt if GBP doesn't make this fight. Campbell should stop crying and find a fight. So what he just beat Diaz and Diaz is still fighting for the Ring Title - it's business. If Campbell wants the same deal - drop Don King and get a better promoter.

    where are you getting this information? I thought casa-diaz too.. But anyway campbell needs to defend against casa. Both fights would do good anyway. How about katsidis? I don't see him winning anytime soon against a top fighter, diaz, the petersons, khan, kid diamond, julio d, and jesus chavez.. don't see him winning unless he change his tactics

    This is the best news I've heard all year. I can't wait to see this fight. Hopefully after this fight the winner can fight the Diaz - Pac winner for their share of the title and they can be the undisputed champ.

    I mean I thought Casa/Diaz was fighting too, but I guess the WBO is getting in the way of things.. If this fight happens, more than likely it'll be before July 6..

    The WBO did order Campbell-Casamayor negotiations to begin, but it doesn't matter. Casa won't fight Nate, and Golden Boy wants Casa to fight another Golden Boy fighter so they can keep the Ring belt in-house. So whatever offer we make for Campbell-Casamayor, Golden boy will just add 20 grand and make Casa-Diaz instead.
