jjax gave a fair analyst which wasn't so much overrating Campbell but instead pointing out JMM's vulnerabilities more less. JMM can win tough wars with lesser punchers at lightweight, but do you really think he can enjoy the same success at jr. welter against bigger punchers?
If we're talking about Jr. welters like bradley or hatton maybe i'd have doubts but Campbell is nowhere near the top guys of 140. I won't even rate him in the gate-keeper level. He suddenly shoots off the chart when he beat an overrated Juan Diaz and became overrated himself. Until now, both of them hasn't done anything yet to make me believe they are legit.
And Campbell's defeat of Funeka which included two kd's isn't worthy of considerations? Nate was one of the bigger punching lightweights and he has more pop than Bradley imo. Styles make fights and Campbell would pressure JMM with better success than Diaz with much heavier punches and behind a tighter guard.
Campbell tends to swing too wide with his hooks, that's perfect target practice for any good boxer with counter punching skills. Campbell's best wins are Funeka and Diaz. What do you have in Funeka, a come forward brawler who couldn't even move his head away from wide swinging hooks and lets face it, he is no world class beater. Diaz was thrown of his game by a very bad cut and Campbell as the dirty mofo he is in the ring used almost every trick he had to smother Diaz, and its not like it was an impressive performance. JMM not only matched Diaz punch by punch, he outlanded and wore him down to a KO. Nate swings wide, is slower, and is quite open down the pipe, taylor made for Marquez. What else does Nate bring to the table that others didn't? Power? JMM already shared 24 rounds with Pacquiao.
it only makes sense b/c they're golden boy fighters, that's it. there are bigger & better fights out there for JMM. why not paulie, maidana, khan...?
Nate outthrew and outlanded Diaz in EVERY round. Not an impressive performance?? lol This content is protected
