Well, Campbell was 4-0 when he beat a guy 7-0, 5-0 and he beat a guy who was also 5-0. Very rarely do you see prospects fighting undefeated guys like that.02-02-10 130 James Baker 130 11-1-3

Nate Campbells first 17 fights.
Its a sad state of boxing that Nate Campbell can fight these 17 bums and end up being a boxing world champion. His way of thinking not mine.
Also, Campbell has since moved up in class, Khan hasn't reached that stage yet.Comment

Precisely why he wants to needs to fight Campbell, to move up in class. People also need to remember that while Khan has not fought the best fighters in the world, his record is very good for a prospect. He has only fought 4 people with losing records, while his last seven fights have been against people with large winning records. He knocked Earl out in 70 seconds, the same guy who Katsidis got knocked down by, and took 5 rounds to despatch.
Such hypocricy when everybody on this forum says that British fighters are protected and have not fought anybody, and when they do step up, they say they are not ready and need to have, and i quote "10-15 more fights before Khan is ready". After he beats Gomez, I believe he is ready to take on Campbell, whether he wins or loses, its a move he needs to take.Comment

well i dont think he should have beat diaz...diaz got a cut...and campbell focused on it...which i have no problem with...see a weakness attack it...but not when he rubs his head against it the rest of the fight...Comment

Two men with two hands. If you can't defend yourself, you shouldn't fight. Boxing is a man's sport, not for the faint of heart.
The oddsmakers don't think Campbell should've gotten the win either. That's Juan Diaz's fault I guess.Comment

your right two HANDS...but if you go back and watch the fight...every time they got in close campbell rubs his head against his cut...and idk...but i would have a hard time focusing if some guy was rubbing his rough ass head...into a cut on my face...Comment

That was the difference in experience at work. There are ways to negate things like that. Not leaning in and giving your head as a target for one. I've seen a lot of guys who couldn't take the pressure like that, but usually they'll step back and petition the referee.
In a boxing ring, there are no excuses, no one is going to help you (Unless you are Yoan Pablo Hernandez, then the ref will pick you up). It is up to you in the ring to have the internal fortitude to negate whatever your opponent is doing to you.
Employing your thesis, that fighters who use rough house tactics should lose, Casamayor, Hopkins, Mayweather and Hatton would never win fights. They are blatantly a lot dirtier.Comment
What he was referring to was Khan getting ranked by the WBO at #2 by fighting nobodies.....
come on man....
