He was an Olympic gold medalist but Luke Campbell lost both his chances at world titles and is basically 1-1 in his two fights that fall between title shot and local level competition.
How disappointing is Campbell’s career?

less disappointing than robeisy Ramirez's career so far. just because Campbell is a gold medalist doesn't make him automatically entitled to be a champion. he fought close with a tough champion in linares, and not so close with a top p4p level champion in loma...he just came up a bit short is all. -
I think its disappointing for him because he is literally on the cusp of world championship level but there are just a few players too good right in front of him.
Had it been another time then he himself could be a world champ possibly even a unified one.
If Luke does decide to stick around until Lomachenko vacates sometime next year then hes got a chance.Comment

He won a gold medal and is good enough to compete for world titles on the Pro stage..do ya'll really understand how hard it is to get on that level??? I think the guy can be proud of himself and his family has a true champion...There are thousands if not millions of boxers in the world..only a few get on your television, and even a less amount make it to the main even fighting for world titlesComment

The 2 stand out fights for him so far are Loma and Linares. The Linares one came at a bad time for him with the passing of his father. He fought well though and was a real close fight.
Loma is Loma.
The belts may become vacant next year if Loma moves down or doesn't oblige to his mandatories. If that happens, I wouldn't bet against Campbell picking up a title. He's one of the better fighters at 135 IMO.Comment
