NATE CAMPBELL: JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ NEEDS TO FIGHT ME
By G. Leon
GL: What's the latest and greatest? You commentated the Jones-Sheika fight the other night. Can you give us some thought on the experience? "It was a great experience, I really enjoyed working as a commentater. It's not as easy as a lot people think. I was sad for Omar, I wanted them to let the fight go a little longer. At the end of the day, they were only doing what they thought was right, and they were looking out for Omar."
GL: What's the latest with you, and when can we expect you back in the ring?
Nate Campbell: I have no idea when exactly. You know how it is when you're going through the things I'm going through, this Don King stuff. I'm just waiting my turn right now. I've started back up with my running and training this week, so when they tell me to fight I'll be ready.
GL: Devon Alexander called you out recently on **********. You were aware of his comments, but have yet to respond. Is there anything you'd like to say in reponse to the matter now?
NC: What for, he's not worth anything. He's being used as a pawn by Don King to get me in another fight, so he can get another HBO date. He can't get another HBO date without me. I'm going to be a little smarter than they think I am.
GL: Is there a target date as to when these problems you're going through with boxing are resolved?
NC: I don't know. I've got my lawyer doing what he has to do, it's a waiting process. After I go to court, and get results, we'll find out more of what's going on then.
GL: What did you think of the Marquez-Diaz fight?
NC: I told everybody he was going to give Diaz an L. I kept telling everybody, just because he won the fight against Katsidis, he's still done from his fight with me. He still gave Marquez the business and almost won the fight. Since the fight was neck and neck, he's not viewed as washed up, but he really is. All Marquez did is really stop two guys who were already done. If he really wants to make a name for himself fight me.
"I would love to fight Marquez and I've always had the desire to fight him. He just doesn't have the desire to fight me."
GL: Closing thoughts?
NC: "I want to thank the fans for supporting me. I really enjoyed doing the commentary for the PPV and I'm looking to get back into the ring as soon as possible."
true. f### nate and marquez.
I mean... nate is a good solid seasoned veteran!
but.. he just loose his belt.. agaisnt the worst opponent
THE SCALE
hes in no right to demand any shit!!
he just move to 140 ... why dont he fights devon... who call him out!!!

RECOGNITION! even that devon doesnt have a big name... hes a 140 fighter and u just move up to that weight... u aint that much either!
:boxing:

Nate campbell is a 100 percent right. marquez didn't beat the man at lightweight. stop overating marquez victory's at lightweight he was having tough fights with washed up fighters.

jmm could use a tune up fight at WW, campbell is the perfect guy for that
yeah!!
or nate could give devon a chance to kick his ass!! :fing02:
i know hes crying for money and devon doesnt represent that.. but what else can he do.. nobody wants to fight him for peanuts.
why in the world fuk should marquez fight campbell now? he doesnt hold a title anymore or can even make 135, fuk off cheating shit talker.

This guy is a joke. Diaz will wipe the floor with him in a rematch. It's funny because out of all the fighters mentioned in that interview the only one as "done" as Casamayor is Cambell himself. Not making weight cost him everything. Threw out the chance of a big money fight.
You really rank Casamayor ahead of Diaz because he had the ring belt? He was almost stopped by Katsidis?
and b4 he lost to de la cruz!!!! :fing02: he shouldnt had the right to have that belt by that time anyway/anyhow
I don't care who "needs" who, I just want this motherfuckin fight to happen. Their backgrounds are so similar - both undisputed LW champs, both whooped Diaz, both coming up to 140 for the 1st time, both just about the same age, and both can fight like mofos.
Screw Mayweather. Make this.
Except not really because Golden Boy had already tried to get a Nate Campbell fight for him. Not to mention the Casamayor fight was for the true championship and not belts, so that's pretty meaningful.
And no it wasn't because after Campbell-Guzman was cancelled, they pretty much agreed upon Funeka-Campbell.
Besides, Marquez's win over Diaz is a lot better then Campbell's due to the way he won. Campbell didn't ruin shit against Diaz, he wore him down through the fight and cut him, but overall he didn't ruin him. Diaz still had that intensity that he always had before when he fought Katsidis and Marquez (for the first couple of rounds, till Marquez started slipping Diaz's punches).

I think that's why Nate is getting shit on the board here.
ruining Diaz at 25? Don't you think that's a bit much for Campbell to state?
so sure Campbell does get hated on here (some un necessary) but to say he ruined Diaz is just shit talking.
thats smack talk. He aint getting anywhere near Marquez. He doesnt deserve that fight
you scared?
nate/jmm is a logical fight if jmm want to try out 140.
I think Pacman-Campbell could have happened in JUne, 3 months time from his win over baby bull. and i know JMM wanted to fight Nate but Golden Boy made him take less meaningful fights. from what i understand diaz-marquez was signed and agreed b4 campbell-funeka.

In my opinion Casamayor looked like shit against santa cruz i couldnt even give him a round(well maybe one round). Second casamayor beat katsidis whos showed he cant hang with the big boys by losing to a declining casamayor and to diaz who lost to nate. SO I still give credit to marquez but the fight with casdamayor shouldnt have even been that close especially if your the p4p #2 fighter in the world.
You understand how styles make fights right? You have 2 counterpunchers in Marquez and Casamayor. Normally, the styles that require less effort to execute are counterpunching and defensive fighters which suit "older" fighters like Hopkins and Casamayor.
Casamayor a slick, southpaw counterpuncher. He's always going to give other counter punchers issues. Thats why the fight was close. Not to mention the fact that he still has a punch as proven against Katsidis.

Nate didnt say marquez needed him.. He said that other dude that Don king wants him to fight needs him so don could get the HBO slot..
So stop riding Nate.. He said Don king needs him Not Marquez...
Read the article People.
Its funny how ppl think its acceptable for JMM and Pacman to have fought @135 without fighting Nate. Let it have been Mayweather there woulda been more noise about it.
JMM and his camp made it publicly known that they wanted Nate after Diaz.
But that didn't happen and who was at fault?
Truth is,
1. JMM offered Nate a fight, Nate refused because he wanted to fight sooner.
2. JMM offered Nate a fight after Diaz, Nate was unprofessional and came in overweight losing all his titles.
