    He would beat anybody in that division already as proved by beating 2 world class opponents in his first 2 fights. He is special, next fight should be for the British title, then European and then the World title.

    He wins all 3 titles without losing a round and gets 3 KO's in the process. Then he enters the top 10 P4P and then goes up in weight after a few defenses and unification fights and then wins all belts at that weight before moving up into a third division.

    You can't hype up Campbell after two wins vs dire opponents. He looks OK but lets just wait and see him vs better fighters.

    And i was just giving you what i thought you wanted to hear, seeing as you rate him so highly already after 2 wins HA.

    Shenmue is a top lad! he actaully has half a brain and doesnt jump on the british hype train to make everyone like him!

    hes won two fights albeit very well, but didnt sir david price also do that, lets just see.

    no reason why he cant be brought on like callum smith.....

    Thansk you Terry.:thumbsup BTW i wish Luke all the best but i just don't get excited with these guy's careers in the early stages as the opposition is so bad its hard to judge how good they will be.

    Solid performance, hand speed is very very impressive. I have a slight worry about him leaving his chin exposed when he throws the hook which against a better opponent could get exposed.

    he looks sharp thats for sure but he was wide open for a right hand and took 1 or 2 that someone heavy handed would exploit at this tim.darren barker touched on it but it was mainly ignored..i am sure campbell will address this on his learning curve though

    The lad has done well against 2 sacfiricial lambs. But dont shoot your load too quickly you will only find out how good he is when he steps up to title level. Until then its the promoters job to carefully match him so the hype continues.

    No comment I would say its easy to look good against a tomato can wait till someone fights back and puts it on him then we will know how good he is, reminds me of Amir Khan a bit.

    He is determined to do an impression of Hearns but with a high guard. So far so good.

    The reality is a number of our amateurs will fail but the pro ranks must work closely to keep producing the likes of Joshua and Campbell.

    Matchroom has to ensure that the biggest names are in their stable. These talents needs the marketing and exposure. The reality is Joshua and Campbell will become relevant where as Gavin and BJS will become irrelevant just because of that.

    Can't really judge but he does look like he'll be going places.

    He's filled out, looks very at ease at LW and loves to whip that left hook in.
