    I'm in all of the gyms here, these pros are just regular guys. They all love talking boxing and respect people who know their boxing. They know I'm there to do a job that helps them as much as it helps me so we all get along.
    This is prob the wrong thread, but Asian i respect your journalism & your extensive boxing knowledge, & i'm not here to start a "flame war" or to "pick on you" because your an editor & i have nothing else to do, but there is NO WAY IN HELL Cambell beats Diaz! I was talking about this to someone earlier & i said the thing about Diaz is a lot of people think he is just 1-dimensional, but i beg to differ. Even though he's light on power he makes up for it with aggressiveness, workrate, good boxing fundamentals, & a will to win. I said the NUMBER ONE thing people don't realize is Juan has great defense; he rarely gets hit clean, b/c he keeps his hands high & "rolls" with a lot of the punches, so he rarely ever takes REAL damage!

    I've seen Nate Campbell fight several times, the dude has some skills/talents but it seems like he is a chronic underachiever, (maybe he'll put it together for this fight) but either way it goes I don't think he has anything for Diaz. I'm sure about you but i'm sold on Diaz & actually see him as being a potential great...

      I'm not an editor, I'm not ready to be telling people how to write. I thank you very much for the compliments and Razor Ramon is one of my top five favorite wrestlers ever.

      Campbell brought up an excellent point about Diaz not improving much since he turned pro. They brought in some good sparring, including Abi Santizo, this tough as nails Mexican fighter who throws punches in a very similar manner to Diaz.

      Campbell was a huge underachiever at 130 because he couldn't make the weight. When you see him at 135, it's a totally different fighter. He is a bigger puncher and his defense is sick. He most reminds me of Mark Johnson in a lot of ways. Campbell has old school moves.

      Diaz hasn't fought any movers, everyone he's been in with were flat-footed guys who stayed and fought his fight.

            no question he is a big powerful man, but i have always felt his punching power is far overrated by many, and this just affirms it!

              Campbell's management should make sure they keep him away from Robbie "Bomber' Peden! I actually saw how Peden KO'd him and won the Title. Still to this day I ask myself why the hell did Campbell drop his hands and give a pro fighter a free shot like that ???? Nonetheless I still loved it being an Aussie!!! Winky Wright got away with it against Mosley as did Mayorga v Forrest. The same thing happened to Mayorga v Tito! Didn't Mayorga know Tito hits like a mule???

                Peter is great at using his muscle to wrestle people into a position that he can easily rabbit punch them in the back of the head and make it look like a legitimate knockdown though.

                  thats exactly what he is,,,as strong as an ox but his punches are just too long and lack snap to put the lights out on quality fighters. its seems so obvious yet many people on here still seem to think he's a modern day foreman

                    Peter is extremely strong and if he catches you flush you're probably going out. However he does club with his punches way too much, even compared to a young Foreman.

                      Jameel's knee looks like Paulie Malignaggi's right hand. It's insane how big that scar is on his knee. It looks like a science project.

                      I have pics of me with Klitschko on my *******.
