Well aren't Casamayor & Diaz fighting each other? So those two are out. Katsidis needs to rebuild. Marquez is the only real option IMO & I agree it should happen soon. Santa Cruz ain't getting a shot at Casamayor because it won't make the sort of money Joel is looking for.

If Nate thinks he knows about the game he should throw those bogus belts in the trash for a start. If he knows anything he should know the only championship that matters is the one around Casamayor's waist! Without it Campbell will always just be another alphabet holder.

If November is to far to weight for Marquez the Campbell should offer Santa Cruz a fight in the interim. He still have 3 to 4 months to prepare for Marquez after that fight. Or is that not the sort of fight his promoter can organize?
That's not really true though. I haven't heard anyone say that Casamayor is the best lightweight in the world for years. I also wouldn't personally consider him the man to beat at all. For starters, it's highly unlikely imo that he'll beat Juan Diaz when they meet. Now your telling me Campbell will be seen as just an alphabet holder wheras Diaz will be heralded as the true champion in this case, even though Campbell clearly beat him this year and Casamayor is ancient? I understand what you are saying as far as from a promotional standpoint it will be hard for Nate to get the big fights, but I'd say he's definetly considered the top lightweight in the world by most fans.
