    I thought he had quit?

    Big mistake both would beat him atm!

    I like Campbell but who has he boxed as a pro?

    Hes boxed no one of note but beat with ease whos been put in front of him. You have to box the big names at some point to get a name for yourself right?

    Ormond he would stand a chance against. Campbell all wrong for Ormond. Flanagan would destroy Campbell far too early for that fight.. Heard a wee rumour that Campbell won't be boxing for a long time. Even if he ever comes back. Can make money outwith of boxing time will tell

    Firmly believe Campbell will be back, agree however that Flannigan is a year away especially when you figure in the lay off due to his dad. I personally would stick him in with Brizuela. Eddie has said he would like to bring him back and it would be a good step in class.

    Luke Campbell would beat any lightweight in Britain with maybe the exception of Ricky burns right now, he's a very special talent, I've sparred him he's mustard

    Do you not think that Flannigan is a bit soon tho Curtis? Brizuela for me is a nice step up with a name that people know due to the Tommy fight and would generate great interest especially in Hull for people to compare the two.

    I think Flannigan would be to much for Campbell at this point - I would back him against Ormond though. Problem is he's about 29 now isn't he-plus rumours that his heart isn't really in the game so no wonder fast car is prepared to fast track him.

    He's 26, 27 this year. I thought he was just taking a break? Is he calling it a day then?

    Ok, thanks I thought he was Older then that. It was just a whsper I heard off a mate about Campbell not fancying it - it could be BS but he usually knows what's going on.

    Come on Curtis, be real.

    IMO he beats Mitchell right now, the only problem would be the 12 rounds
