Besides the fact Marquez and Campbell were trying to make a fight for November and Marquez wanted to fight Campbell, but why bother? Whatever makes Campbell looks better and the feared fighter.
As for it being for the vacant WBO belt, I guess it's alright, but **** the mandatory ****. They should drop it if they have to fight Barrera or Khan as the mandatory.
30 second statement? It was Campbell who took his time to rant about Richard Schafer bitching about how they wanted to take advantage of fighting him in November so they could make Casamayor-Diaz remember? If Campbell took 5 pages or whatever it was to rant about a 30 second offer then, that's...pathetic? Maybe not pathetic, but it's mind boggling that Campbell would take the time to respond when it wasn't a legit offer.
Marquez wanted to fight Campbell, there were numerous reports that you guys were in negotiations. Do you deny those took place? I know it really helps Campbell's reputation if he is the "BIG BAD DUCKED FIGHTER THAT NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT", but I'm not buying it.
Also Campbell being out 11 months had a lot to do with the banruptcy, the Guzman fiasco, and him signing on to fight Funeka. I don't really think that people are avoiding him.
Same thing I was thinking. Its kinda hard to say you were ducked when you had a belt for 11 months. Especially when a fight was made in that 11 months but broken because of weight issues.
