    I always felt Nate was good against most guys, but guys with some natural strength ( Isaac H and Peden) he just didn't know how to deal with.
    He's better now than he was, and has gotten a ton smarter.

    But father time is a tickin'.

      One thing that makes Nate's age a little less of a problem is that he started late. His mileage is low, but he has to make his move now before his reflexes start to dull.

        I think that Campbell is a very solid fighter when he is in the right frame of mind and he has it all together. One thing that has always gottena hold of Nate is the mental part to this game, and if you dont have the mind in the right frame, you can have trouble from round 1 to round 12.

        I think the things he's done in the ring at times are almost pure ******ity...At times I think he himself feels as though he's in fact wasted some of his talent. IU think he's a very talented fighter, but again his mind is just all over theplace,you never know what your gonna get from Nate....

        Robbie Peden....Twice....Nothing taken away from Peden, but he is no where near the class of fighter that Nate can be, and that's the key CAN BE....We've seen what he did too Kid Diamond, what he did to a fallen Ricky Quiles, but Nate looked really sharp, and now what he's done to Juan Diaz who I personally was never really big on myself. I thought this would happen to Diaz the minure he stepped in with a tough veteran.....

        Nat'es had 2 tough SD losses that are def. disputed to say the least with Francisco Lorenzo and most recently Issac Hltswayo, who i thought controlled the fight....

        But also remember, as I said, I kind of figured Diaz would lose to someone tough and he's had tough fights before.....But we need to give Campbell a loootttt of credit for not folding when he could have and not giving up an inch during the fight in which he could have. Diaz applies lotz of pressure, and Nate showed a lot of guts and heart by taking it and landing the harder,more effective shots....Campbell clearly won this fight.....It was not a SD victory as he won by at least 3-4 rounds......

        I am looking forward to seeing what Nate can do against another young fighter.....One who has a HELL of a lot more skills then Diaz...Should be an interesting matchup....

          He's not good as Pac or Guzman. And he's not overrated either.

            Joan Guzman never allows anyone to impose they're will

              If he keeps stepping up in weight against top class opponents he'll eventually hit the wall.
