the myth that is luke campbell

Wasnt aimed at you mate in the first post he said feather fisted the 3 names I mentioned was a comparrison of number of stoppages to number of fights I think lukes proving he can punch opposision arnt great but they are tough its their job to survive moises never been stopped the pole szot only been stopped once in the same round as a 22 (20)-0 welter

And to be honest luke campbells a counter puncher naturally and the better the opposition and the more they come to win the better I think campbell will look

 

Oh ok lol

The only thing I worry asbout Campbell is being at lightweight.

He was boxing at 56kg on a same day weigh in the Olympics and now hes boxing at 61 24 hours before?

Wouldn't Super Feather be better for him? Either that or he must of felt pretty terrible 24/7 in the ams.

 

not sure why people refer to him as a "prospect" he's 27, same age as Khan etc

he needs to fight some better opposition soon, haven't checked his record but don't think he's had a fight scheduled over 8 rounds yet.

I see him similar to PaddyGarcia, decent technical ability, but will come up short against the elite fighters if he ever fought one.

 

Look at the difference in shape from then to now I think hes put the weight on great and looks in great shape mainly his back and shoulders he took a year out aftrr the games he didnt move up to fast hes still tall for a LW he struggled bad to make 56k and I dont even think hed make SF now without loosing something.

Plus all the big uns are at lightweight and thats what he wants cant knock him for anything hes done so far in my opinion.

 

he turned pro last year Khan turned pro at 18?

Should he be fighting for a world title after 15 months as a pro then?

 

Does age have anything to do with bring a prospect?

I thought it went on experience and after 8 bouts id call him a prospect khan been pro 10 years luke just over 1 so how can you compare the 2 really?

 

I didn't say he should be fighting for a world title, I said he should be fighting better level of opposition. this could partly be explained by his personal circs (taking time out with his Dad etc).

there's a massive gap between the fighters he's against at the moment and world title level, and he needs to step this up quick, to me he's been handled like a 22/23 year old with time on his side. not a 27 year old with a wealth of amateur experience behind him.

 

Next fight should teach us a little bit more

 

He goes all the way IMO! Very exciting talent,like watching him wish him all the best,Luke Campell our very own ODLH

 

You forgot "Bamby Legs"....

 

And you are???

 

Really, you can't work out who C Woodhouse might be in British boxing circles? It's Curtis Woodhouse mate.

 

Campbell looks good I can't get all the negative stuff perhaps some of it is just jealousy

 

Imo Luke will defo be world champion at lightweight and I think he could also win one at light welter! He is a very talented guy and like Mayweather or Andre Ward he might not be as easy on the eye to people who like their fighters to be involved in wars!! And I'm not comparing him to Mayweather/Wards stature but just that I hear lots of people saying their fights are boring but sometimes they don't really understand the skilss it takes to make exciting fighters look like novices!!
