Took the words right out of my mouth.

It's one thing to move up to lightweight.

It's another thing to move up to lightweight and challenge a guy who could barely outpoint the corpse of Erik Morales.

I'm not saying he has to fight Casamayor in his first fight at 135, because that's a tough assignment. But as you pointed out, there are worthy opponents between Casamayor and David Diaz.
For a first fight at the weight David Diaz represents a tough test. And after beating Erik Morales he's no longer the sixth best lightweight, he's ahead of Katsidis and Julio Diaz and Nate Campbell. Who have they beat?
