Nate's thoughts on the lightweight division....... Juan Diaz: I have nothing but respect for Mr. Savannah, and Mr. Savannah is no fool. He don't even want Juan in the same area code as me. I know how to beat this kid, and beat him bad. I doubt though that HBO wants to get another one of their "stars" knocked off. Michael Katsidis: Why is everyone so high on this kid? Because he bleeds? Because he eats every punch you throw at him? Who has he fought? He just went life-and-death with the Philipino kid in what was supposed to be a tune-up, and got his face tore off. Give me a break. A glorified Kid Diamond. And if I fought him, he wouldn't see 12. Joel Casamayor: The Ring Champ? The ring chump is more like it. I beat him like 5 years ago and they took it from me. He's not even relevant anymore. Besides, who wants to watch him stink up the joint anyways? David Diaz: Nice guy. I like David. Probably not enough network interest to be able to make a fight with him, but I hope he gets a good payday against Pacquiao or someone else. Julio Diaz: Who? Who? This clown ducked me for 2 years, pulled out of 2 fights with me, one an IBF eliminator, and now that she got her skirt pulled down on HBO against Juan she wants to call out my name and say she can knock me out? Too bad this ***** didn't have the stones to try it the 2 times she had the chance to. Kid Diamond: He's #3 in the IBF, so it's possible that I could be fighting him for a vacant title if Juan gets stripped. It was not much more than bag work the last time I fought him, and I wouldn't expect anything to be different this time around. Him fighting me is Trampler's worst nightmare. Anthony Peterson: Let him fight someone actually in the top 50, or even the top 100 for that matter, and THEN he can run his mouth. Until then, he should just shut the **** up.
Agreed....Campbell is so talented but he's a knuckle head and wont stay focused enough to stop Juan's freight train.
That's funny. Peterson ran his mouth on FNF, and that was it. No offer, no date, no call from "his people", nothing. Just a guy running his mouth. And as Nate's co-promoter, if there ever was an offer, or even a conversation, I would have known about it.
There was an offer and Campbell said he wouldn't fight him cause he said "it would be child abuse". So he won't fight him.
There was no offer, and no conversation. A reporter asked Nate about fighting Peterson and that's where the "child abuse" comment came from. I just love it when people who don't know anything want to argue with me about what offers my fighter has or hasn't received.
