    I see him being either outclassed or outgunned by the division's current beltholders.

    Anyone think he can pick up a title?

    I think he might be able to pick a title, but most importantly I think he'll definitely put on stiff and exciting competition.

    He's got the skills and size, but may be too old at this point.

    Anybody Nate fights is in for a long night. He's a tough dude with under rated boxing ability and defense.

    I think he puts up a good fight but loses to the top fighters at 140 lbs. I think he will get a title shot or 2 but probably fall short.

    Why, because he does a mean merengue?

    He'll be fun as a 140 lber.

    I'd like to see him take on Urango as I think there's fireworks in that fight and that Urango isn't polished enough to rely on anything other than strength - Given Nate's hard ass attitude and thirst for battle I think that fight provides the good times.

    He's a welcome addition - I'd rather watch a Nate Campbell fight than a Paulie Malignant-aggi fight anytime.

    It will be interesting to see how he deals with Urango's power. Holt probably goes down. Hatton, Bradley and Pacman should beat him.

    The more I think about it, the more I could see Nate putting on a clinic against Urango. His movement and jab would be a tough nut for Juan to crack.
