Just rewatched some highlights of Martinez beating up Campbell. I wonder if Ricky would beat Martinez at this stage. Let's say Ricky manages to get his weight down (weighing as much as Campbell), would he still be better than Campbell at this point? Hypothetically, how would a fight between Ricky and Campbell end at this point?
Still "only" 43 years old. Don't you think Ricky can beat the bums which have been fed to Campbell so far?
Ricky isn't a clean living guy, his body is likely wrecked from all the crap he's been doing. Also his fighting style is a young mans game.
What the heck for? To fight some guys who a prospect is fighting?? Enough of the BUM stuff dude.... Those are prospect level stepping stones. Can't believe how disrespectful and callous some of you feel you have to be for no reason at all...
Campbell is only fighting 6 rounders so I do think Ricky would beat him in a 6 round fight if he was given ample time to prepare. Campbell has zero power he couldn't crack an egg. Ricky has more skills, natural ability and obviously power.
Well Ricky has been talking of doing exhibition bout with Barrera, Marquez or Cotto, so yeah i reckon he would give Campbell a hard time while is old legs allowed him too, a few tasty body shots from Ricky might give Campbell something to think about.
I've seen a friend of mine fighting his old man (amateur european sub-champion, lost the final) after his old man being like 15 years retired or so. One day, at the gym (his father was my trainer's personal friend, he was his trainer too back then when he was actively fighting). My friend got a nice beating, first by his father as orthodox, and then by his father as southpaw. I wouldnt put a single penny on campbell. Not even 1 single penny.
Over 6 rounds I think Ricky spanks his boys arse. Cambell's really not that good. The young Hatton apple really did roll a fair distance away from the Hatton tree in this instance IMO
