    I expect big things from this guy. He really impresses me everytime I see him. A special talent. If he keeps doing what hes doing hes gonna be a big star.

    How would you match him? After Coyle I think he should fight someone like Edis Tatli for the european title rt

    Correct Campbell will go far, Tatli would be a good fight after coyle as would the likes of Takahiro*Ao and Tony Luiz. Then id go for mickey bey, Campvell would beat him now i think

    Campbell has the explosiveness to go to the top.Thats the raw quality i look for in a fighter and something that cant be taught.Callum Smith has it to.Galahad for example doesn't have it.Galahad does not have elite handspeed or power and though he has a nice style it wont be enough for the very top.

    Hard to judge, his level of opposition has been shocking. its clear he has talent but can't say how far he will go.

    I'm not seeing Campbell v Coyle happening, Campbell isn't particularly interested in fighting Coyle by all accounts.

    this...

    there is no point fighting Coyle either...he needs to be aiming much higher by the end of the year...


    compare the Eastern Euro Olympic medalists to ours...they are in world title fights within a dozen fights,ours are still fighting club fighters

    Not saying I disagree but you have to take into account that the eastern euro medal winners can't take the journeyman route developing because they haven't got the promoters with finances to afford to do that. They need to sink or swim by taking world titles fights early in order to raise a profile and make decent money.

    Luke Campbell is a 40 year old man trapped in 2o-something year olds body.

    He is that boring paint watches him dry! He'd fit right in on 'Last of the summer wine'.

    Really think Lomachenko demanded to get a world title shot quickly to raise his profile?

    Not eastern European but do you think Kosei Tanaka had been fast tracked to a world title fight in his 5th fight because he needs the money? On Naoya Inoue doing it in 6 fights?

    I don't totally disagree with you, but I think there is an "accepted way" in the UK and the US which has frustratingly become an out dated way. If you have a special talent test them, let them swim with sharks and let them make a statement and turn heads. Don't let them waste 3 years before letting them off the leash.
