Why do people assume that Guzman is going to beat Campbell?

[2501]

because when considering all the factors in this match up, the smart money says guzman has the best chance to win?

[Boofdatruth]

I agree with Scott. He won't give Nate anything to hit. Nate can win because he is the bigger guy, and he has lthose long arms. Guzman will have to be careful in this fight.

**** Guzman. I dont think he'll beat Campbell but i wouldnt mind him getting KO'd by Pac for the undisputed lightweight championship

[Tony Mangtana]

Because Nate Campbell's an idiot, lol

[Mr. Ryan]

skills wise, Guzman is light years ahead of Cambell, and considering the controversy of Cambell beating Diaz (no drug testing), i have no doubt Guzman will outbox Cambell quite easily over 12 rounds. Id like to see Cambell bring and force a fight with Guzman, but if im betting, id have to take Guzman quite easily, who knows maybe im totally off.

For all we know, the lack of a drug test could have benefited Juan Diaz, or Maskaev or Peter. Why does it have to be an issue for Nate Campbell?

Most people who assume Campbell has no chance or enchanted by the undefeated record of Guzman. To my knowledge, Guzman has never beaten a top undefeated fighter. Campbell went to a very close decision loss to Casamayor who had only one defeat at the time, then knocked out undefeated Kid Diamond and beat undefeated Juan Diaz in his last fight.

I'm not saying that Campbell should be an overwhelming favorite, but people need to stop sleeping on him because he's been beaten. That doesn't make him a bad fighter.

Styles make fights and Guzman's style will give Campbell a lot of problems but the big question about Guzman is how will he handle 135? His style depends a lot on speed, the extra weight could slow him down.

shouldn't be a problem. Against Soto Guzman came in the ring weighing somewhere around the 147 mark (give or take a couple pounds). If anything it will help Guzman in the sense that it's 5 less pounds that he doesn't have to lose to make weight.

I don't rate Campbell at all but he did make me laugh thinking he was Mayorga that time!

Even though he has three of the titles at 135, you don't rate him?

But he's not used to a naturally big 135 pounder like Campbell leaning on him in the clinches, roughing him up.

I agree though that he should be able to carry 135 pounds without much difficulty but it's still a question.
