    I wanna see Pac fight DDD first. It's gonna be his first fight at the lightweight. And I think it's fair to say that let's judge Pac's performance first against DDD if he's really comfortable in that weight class.

    One thing that bugs me though. Pac will be competing against old guys again. Both Casa and Campbell are champions, and both defeated the young undefeated JD and Kats. I just hope people would give Pac some credits if he captured their belts.

    I can't see why Arum would make this fight, he's not an idiot. Pac most likely wins, even though Casa beat Katsidis and looked better than against Santa Cruz its clear he's slowed down, and say Pac looks impressive fans would say Casa was shot. No win really.

    That being said I'm not sure who Pac goes after past the David Diaz fight. Juan's gotta work his way back up, not sure they really want Nate, Casa doesn't make good sense in a risk/reward type deal. Hatton's looking more and more likely really.

    Not like I wouldn't mind seeing it as a fan, just realistically I doubt it happens.

    I'd love to see pac vs casa but like ouma said it is kinda of a no win for pac. When he wins people will just say casa is past it. I rather see guzman move up to 135 and match up with pac. I would also be interesting if valero will move up. I really think the lightweight is there for the taking now.

    Pac
    JMM
    Guzman
    Valero

    all can make some noise at 135, while casa and campbell are on the decline I don't see them ruling for long maybe not even a year.

    Even though guzman and jmm are "old" or alteast older then pac and valero, Imo they out last both casa and campbell. Unless we are wrong about guzman like how we were wrong about juan diaz. Jmm is a proven elite so Imo the only question for jmm is if he'll be comfortable at 135.

    As for valero he too still have some things to prove, will he really be able to hang with the elites or will he be just like juan diaz or rocky jaurez.

    David diaz imo is being look pass too much by us, i actually em excited to see pac vs david cause david is kinda old school you never know how well his doing with what his doing, you know?

    Pac vs casa will be the cherry on top of all the fights though, it'll be the first elite southpaw vs elite soutpaw. there hasn't been much great southpaw, now we can see two going at it.

    I have a gut feeling PAC might be fighting both Valero and Guzman later, but definitely in 135 lbs.. Looking at Valero and Guzman's frames I can't believe how they were able to make it at 130 lbs. Framewise(bone structure) they're much bigger than PAC.

    Looking back Casamayor "pulled a rabbit out his hat" so to speak.

    He should fight campbell next.

    Casa vs Campbell. The winner will fight the winner of Pac vs Diaz. That's very interesting.

    The good days of boxing in lightweight is back......





    Thanks to Pacman.....
