    Yeah I suppose you guys are right. Casa might not be that bad of keep busy opponent after all. Guess we should just enjoy what will be an extra fight we're being treated to. Can't complain really

    I see it like that as well. I'm just thinking the other potential outcomes aren't quite as unlikely as a lot of people are claiming.

    I actually think its no that bad a fight. Who else could they get?


    Timothy Bradley - Fighting at Welterweight in July
    Devon Alexander - Fighting Kotelnik
    Marcos Maidana - Injured
    Andriy Kotelnik - Fighting Alexander
    Victor Ortiz - June to soon
    Juan Urango - Coming of a loss
    Paul McCloskey - Fighting in June

    So that leaves 4 guys as decent World ranked Light Welterweights.

    Kaizer Mabuza
    Lamont Peterson
    Demitrius Hopkins
    Ajose Oleguseun

    1) I think Casamayor beats all 4 of those
    2) Casamayor will sell more tickets than all of those
    3) Casamayor will sell more PPV's than all of those

    Other than Katsidis there no bigger fight for him.

    Casamayor, even now, is a better level than anyone Joe Calzaghe defended agaisnt between 2000 - 2005

    Good points. Pretty much agree with all of them, apart from Casa beating Peterson

    While there are better choices out there........I don't really mind so much, its a quick turnaround fight, they couldn't get katsidis. So, he stays busy and waits for Peterson, Bradley, Ortiz or the like......

    Edit: Peterson would be better, but he might be too risky a proposition with all the potential big fights on the horizon.

    Eventually he will have to face a younger fighter with an above average KO record. Rather than fight old guys or opponents with no power.
