Nate Campbell is awesome

fighters change, today's Nate Campbell aint the same as the one that fought Peden, Isaac and Lorenzo. in those fights Nate was unmotivated, and it showed. a focused Campbell just outfought Juan Diaz, who was well known for breaking his opponents will and his amazing stamina and punch output. Nate outfought him at his own game, which is saying something.

Campbell only started boxing when he was about 24, and most top fighters have been boxing since they were teenagers. Campbell only just now has started putting it all together with all of his experience.

and even if you dont believe all those things above, you have to respect the guy for overcoming the odds...he was poor almost his whole life, and was working late night shifts at Winn Dixie when he first got the idea to start boxing.

you also have to admire his willingness to fight the best. he actually signed up to fight Guzman, who wouldnt bring in a ton of money and yet is still a huge risk, and was still willing to fight him when he heard that Guzman could have weighed in a few pounds over the limit. some fighters would just take those 3 belts and sit on them, fighting weak mandatories and keeping the belts for however long they could. but Nate is doing his best to fight the best available guys, and even dropped the WBA belt when they made Paulus Moses his mandatory, because Moses really isnt a world class fighter and would have gotten in Campbell's way for harder fights.

Who ever you have to educate about NC is not worth educating! Win or lose NC will be a fighter I will always support! He gets it, he is a fan first and fighter next! Speaks the truth and gives us a good fight win or lose.

Campbell's a cool cat and a good fighter. he better beat Funeka. I wanna see Nate fight the JMM/Diaz winner.

Would be cool to see Campers start to unify the division, starting with the winner of Marquez-Diaz (probably and hopefully the former), then perhaps Pac if he decided to come back down to 135 again after his Hatton fight - or a vacancy fight with a big name if not Pac.

Oh, and snatch that belt off Moses while he's at it. That's a good lad.
