I reckon Guzman would have done Campbell as well meaning the featherweights would have conquered all the lightweights.

Only Juan Diaz has any real talent out of the lightweight bunch but he can't punch and would get beat by both Manny and Marquez imo, although they would be awesome fights.

I think tonight has shown just how world class Manny and Juan Manuel were and that the lightweights, although well hyped wern't actually that good. Casa was a great fighter but he's done now. He got beat easily by Santa Cruz, was in dire straits against Katsidis who isn't even world class imo and now got KO'd by a 35 year old featherweight.

The future of the lightweight division isn't Campbell. It's Manny, Anthony Peterson and in another year Yuriorkis Gamboa. Guzman if he fights again at the weight will get in the mix as well.

I've got a feeling Campbell will lose his belt in his next defense.
Good Points. I never really looked at the lightweight division that way.
However, i do see Campbell beating Guzman
