Juan Diaz is fun to watch... And Casamayor is great fighter.. But aside from that, I fail to see a lot of excitement at lightweight really.. If guys like Pacquiao Guzman Valero Soto etc eventually move up and carry the weight then absolutely it's going to be a great division.. But for the time being there's not a whole lot of talent there imo.
Juan Diaz vs. Freitas was a great fight.
Michael Katsidis vs. Graham Earl was a great fight

Morales vs. David Diaz should be good
Katsidis vs. Guzman should be fantastic.

There are plenty of good fighters in the division. Katsidis, Casamayor, Juan Diaz...the other 2 Diaz's aint bad, Guzman is stepping up. I think if Morales wins he may defend at lightweight if he gets his belief back. I'd like to see Jesus Chavez get a rematch once his injury is healed and Amir Khan has potentional on the domestic scene so there are plenty of good fights at the weight limit. Also, can you name another division were each champion has said their intention is unify and become the best?
Err... Can you name a division where this doesn't happen?? Yeah therre have been some good fights but my point was there are as of now only a couple real players in the division then a bunch of mediocre guys imo... Katsidis vs Earl may have been exciting but neither are world class fighters.. David Diaz is very average.. Morales is totally shot and shouldn't be fighting.. I expect Guzman to beat Katsidis fairly easily, but I can't understand for the life of me why he is moving up to lightweight... He has lost a lot of power every time he's moved up so far and the best potential fights for him are still at 130.. Valero, Soto, Pac, Marquez.. Reall Juan Diaz vs Casamayor is the only fight I'd pay to see at lightweight right now.. At other divisions there are more numerous big fights that could be made.
