The Nate Hate is unfair...he was still willing to fight Guzman, Guzman was not...Nate fought Funeka, instead of pulling out due to the weight issue. Nate is still one up, in that situation... [mp3]http://www.blogtalkradio.com/OnTheGrind/2009/03/02/Ep-44.mp3[/mp3] Nate comes on at the 1hr and 42 minute mark...
Nate's right. Those WBA/WBO belts that Marquez has are paper titles. If Marquez wanted to be the real champ he would've fought Campbell instead of some guy who Campbell already whopped on.
next time he talks **** about JMM he should remember that JMM already beat two guys that whooped his ass.
I agree! Guzman was scared to death of Campbell that's why he pulled out of the fight even though Nate was willing to give him a pass on being overweight.
This has gotta happen @ 140, quite obviously. Nate's havin' trouble makin' light now. If and when this happens, Marquez will hand him his ass. Betcha.
Campbell was never the man though. He had paper titles too. Casamayor was the real champion. Nate's lost 98% of his credibility in the past two months.
Technically, Nate's right, given that JMM claimed vacant belts, and Casamayor lost to Santa Cruz. Just like Miguel Cotto is a paper champion, because he's never beaten the guy who previously owned the belt, he's always fought for vacant one's. Doesn't mean they aren't both great fighters, particularly JMM.
