The lightweight Division in my eyes is the 2nd best division in boxing trailing only the welters and if a senario like the one im presenting should play out, it could potentially vault it into the number spot. J. Diaz vs Casamayor (A reality fight slated for September) In his match against Cambell, Diaz surprisingly got out Diaz'd. I however look for him to bounce back against Casamayor. Diaz's work rate and body shots will prove to be too much for the old champ and I look for a late stoppage. Cambell vs Khan (A dream fight with some serious potential) Khan wants to be a world champ in a hurry and Cambell wants respect. In Cambell's eyes if he were to beat Khan on his turf he will have earned the respect that his so desperately seeking. If this fight were to happen I would favor Khan with his youth, strength, and superior speed to dethron the old Champ. This would setup a super fight between Khan and Diaz for all the marbles and all the belts. Pacquiao vs D. Diaz (A reality fight slated for late June) Pacquiao too fast and strong for Diaz. I look for a late stoppage. Katsidis vs Barrera (A dream fight) Barrera wants Pacman again but will have to prove that he's worthy. HBO is looking to get Katsidis more American exposure and a fight against MAB would certain accomplish that goal. I look for the young lion to score a late stoppage and setup a fight of the decade canidate against Pacquiao.
Khan isn't gonna fight Campbell. If he does that, he's left with 3 titles and how is he gonna manage to duck all of them?
So Khan is favored due to this youth, strength, and speed. We all remember Juan Diaz on the same boat.
I see Katsidis getting ko'd has yet to quell the overrating of him. Why would getting knocked out again be 'good exposure' for him?
how can you have dream fights at lightweight and not have Casamayor vs. Campbell (For undisputed Champion) in your list?
