I don't think it will be Haney. Do you?
He wouldnt turn it down. Personally I think he should go to 140, but if this opportunity is there, then why not. Its the only realistic fight that gets him straight back into contention, if he loses he can still go to 140 after.
Other possibility is Crolla, really don't want to see that though
What do you reckon? https://mobile.twitter.com/luke11campbell/status/1179462142443036672
I’d love it to be Haney but I doubt it is tbh.
I think it’ll be a tune up type fight, maybe they’ll add him to the Smith-Ryder undercard.
Obviously Hearn isn't sending any A-sides to other networks at the moment, because no one has the money that Dazn and sky have in their markets, but Hearn is making plenty of fights outside his tent, and a fair few are getting beaten, like Hooker v Jose Ramirez, Campbell, Crolla, Joshua. The Joshua rematch was announced with Sky and not Dazn because they hadn't signed up at that point, someone else could have outbid them but didn't.
You can't really blame Hearn not sending his fighters to other networks if they won't match the Dazn money. I just don't see Hearn as trying to keep things in house at present, not like Arum anyway.
Like I said cannon fodder lol jk.
No I don’t blame Hearn or any promoter for that matter their businessmen who lie cheat and steal in order to sell a product.
The only person that is actually pro fighter business wise is haymon but he’s not a promoter though people pretend he is when it suits their agendas. When his fighters don’t fight it’s their choice unless they have an exclusive deal which most don’t they choose to stay over there “across the street” because they want to.
Hi pal. This would be a great fight, but I think it suits Haney more than Campbell at this point. Would expect Devin to handle Luke a lot more conclusively than Lomachenko did. A loss to Haney, and Luke will be out of the title picture for a long while, hard to see how he could work himself back in from that position. Would be a very good fight though, two pedigree fighters.
I’d pick Haney also tbf, I wanna see him in proper fights though and Campbell would definitely test him.
I get the feeling Luke is gonna be one of those Herol Graham types who can compete but just can never quite get over the line at the top level.
Great crossroads fight IMO.

All ?? And lately?? Lol what champions or big names did this happen with that Hearn didn’t have the A side ? 2nd rate and third tier guys don’t count they are cannon fodder. You know exactly what I mean when I said what I said.

What are you talking about, all Hearn's cross promo fights lately his fighter has lost, one of them being Campbell?

Let's not get too carried away. He fought an unknown for an interim belt. He hasn't fought anyone of note before that either. Very good prospect but he has a way of going till he becomes a contender.
At that weight neither has Loma. But I get what you’re saying.

Haney would stop Campbell. Campbell is a C plus professional idc about no gold medal olympics because Terrence Crawford beat 2 gold medalists and TC didn’t even make the Olympics but nobody is blowing those guys up as some great opponents.
Haney vs Lomo is gonna be the mandatory but bob seems to be going in another direction before it even starts. Not to put any blame on the fighters.
Bob does certain things over and over and over and people act like it’s fighters ducking or promoters ducking when it’s the same person time and time again do the same thing again and again but somehow never gets the blame.
Bob only makes Cross promotional fights when he has the favorite point blank period but only certain fighters he has get passes from fans and the media.
Lol Eddie Hearn does this as well.

Yes would be a good fight, I like Haney a lot and think he has the skills to be one of the top guys in the future. But I'm not sure if he quite ready for someone like Campbell just yet. Even against Abdulev (despite having a dominant performance) there were times where he was lazy with his defending, not bringing his hands back up and getting caught.
Campbell is a good technically sound fighter with power and some physical advantages over Haney...
I think Haney needs a few more fights to get the experience he needs. The boy is still very young and has plenty of time on his side
I went to a lot of the fights at the Excel Docklands and I agree with the AJ example (lost to Savon and Cammarelle IMO) Campbell wasn’t gifted a gold medal though. He deservedly won the gold in 2012.
I dunno where you are going with the AJ and AB comparison’s tbh, they’re pretty irrelevant in regards to Campbell.
No one is saying Luke is an elite fighter but at the very least he is a top 10, possibly top 5 Lightweight contender, and would be a good test for Haney IMO.
I only mentioned AJ because of your Olympic statements
As far as being gifted a medal lol
Luke at this point would be a good measuring stick for Haney I agree he’s more seasoned. I just see Luke is there to be stopped if he does fight Haney seasoning or not he will get cooked.
Luke is ok but aside from espn trying to overhype him to make Loma look better which is cool for fanboys but I grew up in and around this sport so I know the shenanigans.
Trust me that fight wasn’t as close as they tried to make it seem it’s with Luke’s size difference and experience he was able to withstand more than Corolla lol I know crolla now he definitely didn’t belong in the ring with Loma.
I didn’t say you said it I’m saying people here hype it me guy in order to make another look good.
Actually Anthony Joshua was gifted a medal in the olympics without a high boxing iq. I live in nyc and people are awarded as winners of the golden gloves tournament a lot of times by default because the opponent pulled out.
Listen I like Lomo I even met him at macys on 34st after a weigh in when he fought across the street at the garden I just don’t like when people take a guy they like and make it seem like he’s fought a murders row and then take another guy and down play him. I respect all fighters not promoters or channels and I also respect people’s opinions yours included but more than anything I respect facts.

Did you watch the rematch??? Campbell is very skilled technically anyone with any sort of insight on boxing can see that. You don’t win the medals he won as an amateur without having a good boxing IQ.
Please quote where I said AB was a bum???
