Comments Thread For: Shane Cameron Flattens Monte Barrett In Four Rounds

Tua rematch makes the most sense if he prefers to stay local but to venture across the ocean to Cali and a Arreola fight would be cool

you would know because you are from the region but if i do recall he got $250000-500000 to fight tua & i don't see why another good payday wouldn't be coming his way with those 2 regional belts especially a rematch with tua. if they can put 5000 in a decent arena it could be an exciting event. his belts are not world titles but they are important regional belts with guys like meehan, tua, leapai, welliver waiting in the wings for shots at him...

Oh look that's true but I don't think his management want to jeopardize his chance at some sort of title shot. With Cameron at 34, I believe his handlers are aware that this is his best shot at getting a fight against a legitimate contender (Arreola, Fury, whoever) & having a possible date, if he gets through that opponent, with a Klitschko. These chances don't come along every day and as we've seen with Tony Thompson, you don't actually have to be very good to get a chance.

I don't think they're looking at Tua at all, he offers only a payday, the path to a contender then to a title fight is not through Tua.

An alternative route for Cameron, especially if he can't get past a legit heavyweight contender, is to keep going at cruiser & call out Danny Green who is a hard arse fighter. Cameron definitely has the power to give that division a good shake. His ideal weight is just above the cruiser limit so if he weighs in at just on or under he will maintain the power & improved speed that he displayed against Barrett.

P.S. - Please joe! Don't mention Chauncy Welliver as any sort of opponent, he is purely a stiff now, as Sonny Bill Williams (ahem, pardon me) showed.

Who is the commonwealth champ? Is it David price?

That could be a decent scrap, and the commonwealth means more than those trinkets anyway
