    Fact.

    He's proven this time and time again with his world title bids and overall consistency.

    For some baffling reason he was being looked down as an opponent and he proved the naysayers wrong with his great effort. Also this is the first time he's ever been definitively beaten as a pro. The Mendy fight was pretty close and he avenged the loss clearly in the rematch, the Linares fight was a highly competitive back and forth affair.

    Luke can come again and if Loma ever decides to move up or back down again Luke has a good chance of becoming the man at the weight. As it stands he'd beat Lopez, Commey and would have a good shot at beating Easter Jr. Very underrated fighter who has proven the doubters wrong(myself included) with his tremendous efforts at elite level.

    Yeah I'd say he's probably the best current fighter in the sport not to have won a world title yet, followed by Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Kubrat Pulev.

    Anyhow I fully expect Campbell to win a world title eventually ( he just has to be patient like Groves and Bellew were), Loma will probably clean up all the lightweight belts then vacate them all so Campbell should get a vacant title shot.

    yeah the guy who won 11 out of 12 rounds against Dereck Chisora, completely dominated him, whereas Dillian Whyte went life and death with him twice

    Ohhhh you mean the demotivated, weakest version of Chisora that Pulev beat??

    Nah I think history will remember the most motivated, best shape ever, Chisora that Dillian beat via brutal, vicious KO

    The first man to do so, likely the last too!

    Yep.

    I think Campbell will pick up a belt. I like Sergiy but I wouldn't put him that high on the list. Two fights back, I may have. I think he's shot his load already, expecting GGG to blow him away with relative ease but I guess we'll see soon enough.

    I agree Luke Campbell is one of the strongest fighters never to have won a world title, but that speaks more about how easy it is to win a title rather than how good Luke is. With the amount of belts any half decent contender seems to be able to pick up some sort of trinket

    Absolutely... in fact I had to do a double take at your title because if someone had asked me an hour ago "has Luke Campbell ever held a pro boxing world championship?" I'd have said "of course, he must have..." but, having a look, damn.

    It will be really interesting to see where Luke goes from here.
    For some reason, I think Luke will run into Linares again.

    You're an idiot if you can't acknowledge Luke Campbell has had the toughest route to world titles. Linares was a multi weight world champ on top form at the time of the Campbell fight, people had him 10th P4P at that time. And then Campbell had to face the pound for pound number 1 Vasyl Lomachenko . Campbell is a very solid fighter.

    Campbell doesnt know how to throw a freaking jab. Campbell is a bum. Cambel has won to noone, and has done nothing in boxing. And there is a reason for that, he is NOT a top fighter.

    Ok, now, you can all continue with yout nuthugging.

    wow.. a world class Olympic Gold Medalist who is the 2nd best fighter in his division only because the P4P number 1 is there... is a 'bum' is he. If he's a bum what does that make you!

    he has won TO NO ONE. He has done NO-THING.

    And if that's not enough, he has no clue about how to box at a top level. He is "just good" at the very very very best. And I dont need anyone to tell me who's good, and who is not, because I have eyes on my face. Campbell is NOT a top fighter. And I dont care how many chocolate medals he won in the olympics, or what lomo's nuthuggers say in this forum, reality is reality.
