honest statements from campillo

By the time he fought Beterbiev, he couldn't even handle a punch from Floyd... so that comment should be taken with a grain of salt..

The real issue is that a 32-year old, one-division champion who has only beaten 30+ over-the-hill Europeans on his own soil is ranked so highly on lb 4 lb lists, but needs 3 tune ups to fight at 32 years old...

How long do we need 30+ year olds to build fights for?

He's 37 and took a lot of punishement these last years by fighting a lot of young lions

After being TKOed by Kovalev in 2013, he was not the same.

Then, he was KOed by Andrzej Fonfara, Artur Beterbiev and Marcus Browne.

His victory (RTD) on Thomas Williams Jr is a lucky day's one, at my opinion.

His family must be happy by that decision

Beterbiev a Bigger Puncher

Especially on very short distance...

I think also that the hard straight left of Adonis Chickenson is bigger than Kovalev's...

i cant agrue with either statement..adonis's left hand floored bika..NOBODY DOES THAT LOL..not to mention the dawson sleep fest..while kov went 12 with a 50 year old and pascal ended botht fights on his feet..kovalev seems to have accumulative power..

When it comes to one-punch KO power I think Adonis is the number one guy in the division. Beterbiev needs to be busy, his last fight was back in June last year...When will he be back in the ring?

u know artor had surgery right? thats why he's out should be back in the saddle in a few months vs a tune up..but he does need to get busy

I had no idea....He's a very interesting fighter so hopefully he'll be back soon.

I believe with out a doubt when it comes to KO power it goes; Stevenson, Kovalev, Beterbiev. Stevenson power good but overrated. Kovalev has big power but effective through an accumulation of punchs... Beterbiev on the other hand seems to be a very frightening character for the divison and in my view doesn't have much more to prove he is worthy of a title shot.
