    It was from the gym he fought out of. I thought it was poor. It wasn't as crap as Calzaghe's 'The Italian Dragon' but it's in that same list of names no-one really used to describe them.

    True, but it´s not a death sentence. And not every boxer ages the same, as Nate showcased.
    Campbell´s best days were at his later years(at 135).

    He lost to Peden twice who is criminally underrated, Nate was a good fighter wasn't elite but had some elite performances like the Diaz victory.

    A late prime wasn’t surprising for Campbell. I’m pretty sure he turned pro in his late 20s with little experience.

    Nate also started boxing late. Fewer miles on the car.

    Nate was a good fighter and a down to earth guy. I miss his videos he would put out just chilling talking about boxing and life.

    Maybe that performance said more about Diaz than Nate???
