    Good for Nate Campbell.. Golden Boy doesn't want to do business with Campbell simply because of that Golden Boy Belt..

    They are putting Marquez against Campbell at the end of the year so that Pacquiao will rule out a fight with Campbell later this year which GBP will not be involved in another promotion on Pac..

    Nate can get a lot of money against Khan in the UK though..

    Khan needs to fight Campbell though, that's what prospects should do, overcome their challenge and beat the the champ not fighting for a vacant title..

      I think after Khans next fight with Gomez, he should really go after Campbell. I would say in his first 18 fights he has fought the level of opposistion expected for a prospect...maybe even a bit better. The only thing that worrys me about Khan is his defence. He is a bit vulnerable to the overhand right, but I think his overall defence improves with each fight.

      At the end of the day, Campbell is definately a winnable fight for Khan. Khan is incredibly fast, has good movement, and a whole lot of power. Campbell is not getting any younger and Khan would just have too much in the tank for him. However, Campbell is world class, and if Khan makes the mistake of not keeping his gloves up, Campbell can easily punish him.

      Khan by a late round TKO.
