    Who wins between Manny Pacquiao and Nate Campbell? Pac has plans to move up to 135 lbs., why not fight Nate for the title instead of David Diaz?

    This is a poll by the way...please vote :)

    We haven't seen Manny at 135, but that shouldn't be his first fight. If he beats Diaz easily, I think I'd slightly favor him against Campbell. If he struggles at all against Diaz, Campbell would beat him.

    Campbell is a lot like Zab Judah, when he doesn't get careless or lose his focus, he is hard to beat.

    Pac hasn't fought at 135 yet . . . style wise . . . Campbell who can box from the outside will have the advantage.

    But make no mistake about it . . . I'm rooting for Pac. :yep

    why will campbell not show up in the first place?:huh

    i'm not interesting with this fight! I'd rather see pac fight juan diaz.

    if pac wins over campbell haters will not give him credit.

    they will say..pac has beaten somebody who is not in his prime anymore! all of a sudden you will hear campbell is already washed up! :hey

    some pure pac haters does not give credit for pac for beating morales and mab.. what more if pac beats grandpa nate.

    Even if juan is not a champ. pac will get more credit if he beats juan!

    Campbell is too strong...too skilled. I underestimated this guy once...wont happen again.

    Then again, it all depends on which Nate Campbell shows up.

    Ummm....Mags? You need to calm down and actually listen (read) for once without freaking out about your boy.

    Morales lost 5 of his last 6 and had been boxing for 14 years when Pacquiao beat him AND 52 fights. Many of which were wars. He gets credit for beating Barrera the first time (wasn't prime but close enough and still top notch). Even then, MAB had been fighting for 14 years and had 60 fights, many of them wars....2nd time was worse.

    Campbell is different. He is older, but not nearly the amont of wear and tear on the body. He has only been fighting 8 years and has only 38 fights. Very few wars. He would get alot of credit for beating him.

    Until Pacquiao wins a big fight at LW nothing tells me he is going to be effective against one of the top 2 guys in the division. This is just like people assuming Pavlik will be competitive with the elite at SMW (though obviously I like Pacquiao's chances at 135 much more than Pavlik's at 168..).

    ok!
    I hope other fans think the way you do! giving credit where credit is due for pac is rare for some people!

    I still feel pac will get more credit if he beats juan than if he beats campbell...

    anyway, like i said who ever meets at 135lbs he will be the underdog simply because he has not proven himself on this wt category..

    NATE would b too much for a sloppy power puncher with speed.
