    I thought he had quit?

    Big mistake both would beat him atm!

    I like Campbell but who has he boxed as a pro?

    Hes boxed no one of note but beat with ease whos been put in front of him. You have to box the big names at some point to get a name for yourself right?

    Ormond he would stand a chance against. Campbell all wrong for Ormond. Flanagan would destroy Campbell far too early for that fight.. Heard a wee rumour that Campbell won't be boxing for a long time. Even if he ever comes back. Can make money outwith of boxing time will tell

    Firmly believe Campbell will be back, agree however that Flannigan is a year away especially when you figure in the lay off due to his dad. I personally would stick him in with Brizuela. Eddie has said he would like to bring him back and it would be a good step in class.

    Luke Campbell would beat any lightweight in Britain with maybe the exception of Ricky burns right now, he's a very special talent, I've sparred him he's mustard

    Do you not think that Flannigan is a bit soon tho Curtis? Brizuela for me is a nice step up with a name that people know due to the Tommy fight and would generate great interest especially in Hull for people to compare the two.

    I think Flannigan would be to much for Campbell at this point - I would back him against Ormond though. Problem is he's about 29 now isn't he-plus rumours that his heart isn't really in the game so no wonder fast car is prepared to fast track him.

    He's 26, 27 this year. I thought he was just taking a break? Is he calling it a day then?

    Ok, thanks I thought he was Older then that. It was just a whsper I heard off a mate about Campbell not fancying it - it could be BS but he usually knows what's going on.

    Come on Curtis, be real.

    So Luke Campbell would beat Kevin Mitchell now would he?

    IMO he beats Mitchell right now, the only problem would be the 12 rounds
