    Huge, underrated victory. (and would be important for his legacy to avenge the loss anyway even if Mendy weren't a quality operator that would make a fine scalp in his own right in a vacuum if they'd only fought the second time)

    That's not something I get a hard on from, but to each his own I guess.

    Has to be Mendy for sure.

    It's a shame Mendy has dropped so far in the rankings

    Ah Mendy isnt world class but has operated at high level. Campbell put in top performances against Loma and Linares aswel, world title just evading him atm.

    Wins? The likes of Mendy, Agenis Mendes, Darleys Perez

    But the razor-close SD loss against the super skilled and supremely talented P4P rated three-weight champ Jorge Linares over in the US >> all his wins obviously and it's even more impressive given how he hardly had ideal preparation for the fight after suffering the crushing loss of his father to Cancer 2 weeks before the fight.

    Then we have him giving the current P4P king a tough fight where he once again proved he could hang at the very highest level against a ridiculously gifted and talented elite of the elite level fighter/magician and cause them problems. Loma and Linares are without question 2 of the most naturally talented and technically proficient fighters in the entire sport and Campbell proved he was at worst only slightly below Linares level in their fight.

    And we have his Olympic gold medal, World Amateur Silver, and European gold and him being Britain's most decorated ever amateur. Yeah I know gold medals don't count...






    Unless that is they happen to belong to the opponents of Bud Crawford


    (WOW!!!) TERENCE CRAWFORD CLOSE 2 FIGHTING ANOTHER OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST FELIX DIAZ -ERM

    ^^ From the same clowns who rated GRJ, Walters and their untouchable god/master genius once in a lifetime talent Rigo really highly and rightly so but also picked them to beat Loma, spark him out cold, and expose that hype only to make excuse after excuse each and everytime Loma not only proved them wrong but utterly toyed with all of those fighters like they were nothing. But now Loma ''ain't fought nobody'' and gold medals don't mean Jack even when the gold medalists Loma beat were much more decorated and better amateurs than the ones Crawford beat and one of Crawford's ones didn't even deserve to make the Olympic final.

    Probably former SFW champ Mendez who has beat the likes of Ivan Redkach, Miguel Vasquez & Linares conqueror Juan Carlos Salgado..

    Darlys Perez who most thought had just beaten Hooker

    & Yvan Mendy

    Are his top 3 to date.. lets also see what he does over the next year or so.. he could make 140 too IMO quite easily.. he's a big LW..

    There isn't one. He's beaten Domestic and Euro level guys, and lost to Mendy, Linares, and now Lomachenko.

    Perez did beat Hooker on the Kovalev-Ward undercard. Unlike the main fight, which was at least close, Perez-Hooker was a dominant display by Perez and one of the worst robberies I have witnessed live.

    Forgot the part where he beat Mendy in the rematch? Which is clearly his best win.
    The best guys Campbell has faced:
    Lomachenko
    Linares
    Mendy
    Perez
    Mendez

    How's a top 5?

    1. Yvan Mendy
    2. Argenis Mendez
    3. Tommy Coyle
    4. Darleys Perez
    5. Derry Matthews

    Stopping Adrian Yung was an accomplishment as well. He'd never been stopped before.
