katsidis-diaz winner
campbell-guzman winner
casamayor-marquez winner

These boxers you mentioned will be fighting in September and I think by that time PAC will be in training already for his November 8 fight (probably against Hatton).
forget about the november date, i figured manny can fight any of the above i mentioned sometime in december, that would give whoever that is 3 months from his last fight. then the other 2 winners slug it out, the winner of which manny will face sometime between march and june of 2009. if pac comes on top of those fights then and only then should he consider going up another weight division to face hatton or whoever is top dog there by that time (though i hope it's still the hitman). that would be the ideal scenario for me.

I think Manny don't have to wait for the outcome of this September Lightweight tournament. If Hatton is not available then PAC can settle with Valero or whoever is available.
