While Pacquiao is going to be fighting at WW though, Marquez and Campbell should definetly fight for supremacy.
I think this is a very well put post. I just can't see Campbell dispatching Pac or JMM.
Campbell is def the man with the belts but Marquez beat the man.
When Pac leaves Marquez will take the div me thinks

I really only half agree with your second line. I think Campbell was more, or at least as much "the man" Casamayor was at LW. I know, I know, Casa had the ring titles. But he won them from a war torn weight drained Chico(who was coming off inactivity after the unofficcial bad KO loss to an overweight JLC) in a fight he didn't look good himself, then received a disgraceful gift against Santa Cruz and wen't life and death with Katsidis. The Marquez fight was actually the best he looked out of all those imo. I just don't think Casa could've taken those belts off of Juan Diaz like that, he couldn't handle Katsidis nearly as well as Diaz did even after the bad loss. And yeah Katsidis was coming off the loss to Casa as well, but I thought Diaz would have a tougher time getting back on the horse because he was more comprehensively beaten and punished by Campbell. I'm in full agreement that Marquez would probably beat Campbell, but Nate deserves his shot and definetly stands in the way of anyone trying to call themselves the lightweight champion.
