Comments Thread For: Nate Campbell's Statement on Fighting Floyd Mayweather

[solly6]

knocking a boxer out earlier than another boxer does not mean you dominated him more........you have to sell out and get hit to do that....i'm talking about knocking a guy out in an utterly dominant fashion where he literally has no idea what to do against you.....

floyd is a *****. he is a slick boxer but he is a *****. never takes risks not even when he is dominating a guy. he doesn't care about the fans one bit. i'm sorry i watch boxing for the entertainment and two guys with heart that are willing to take risks to knock the other guy out. thats why i love manny and hate floyd. floyd was my favorite fighter for about a year but the more and more i watch him i'm disgusted with how big of a ***** he is. he should have been a dancer or figure skater or something. plus he's an absolute ******* and completely arrogant and uneducated. no offense.

WHY? There similar size. cotto is just as fast and better boxing skill than mosley. i'd agree mosley is craftier in that he clinches and grabs but hatton tried that on pac and it didn't work to well. mosley can not box with pac at pac's pace. show me a fight where mosley boxes all 12 at a fast pace, he can't. pac would tire him out and then knock him the **** out. anyways will prob see it later in the year. i think ****m is a good addition to mosley's team but i still give the edge to roach in that department too.

Mosley has a str8 right...cotto is a converted southpaw....ie he is left handed...hence the power in hook....the best weapon against a southpaw is the str8 right hand...then you follow it with a left hook.....

So I guess Floyds team have not called Nate for a possible fight..as a certain group of fans insisted..hmmm..
we'll just wait and see..I want Floyd to wait to fight Mosley..thats a bigger risk for him than Pacquaio..Mosley has alot to gain..and hes strong/fast and has a style to combat Floyd...so that wont be an easy fight..but its what we, the boxing fans deserve..if not the Pac/Mayweather fight..
I dont think he needs a tune-up for March..but then again..if he plans to face Mosley in May..then he just might...

Mosley gassed out after 3 rds against Cotto.....i don't think his prep was ideal there.....he does get tired on occassion and his balance does not look all that good....but he is not flat footed....Mosley dosen't need to box at Mannys pace.....all he needs to do is keep him at ddistance and shoot right hands whenever he sees M?annys gaurd getting lazy.....

I agree with Hatton....as bad as his defense is...he is a difficult match for any fighter because he has quick feet and good stamina...there is not alot of fighters who make you work the full 3 minutes of every round like Hatton does...


If you really know how to score a match you would see how absurd a SD was in the Oscar fight. I recommend u watch on youtube 2 or 3 times. Floyd beat Oscar easily as a welter fighting a 154 pounder. Floyd won 6 of the first 7 rds. Contrary to popular opinion the fight was not close at all....floyd won 8 rds minimum....i had him winning 9....Oscar didn't land anything meaningful and flurried in final seconds to try to "steal" rounds. People thinking this fight was close is a pet hate of mine.....Oscar lost it easily.

Cotto did KO Judah.....but he had to work for it and Judah had him in serious trouble....Clottey fared about the same as Floyd did.....both lost 3 of the first 4 rds but broke Judah down the stretch....yes Judah did get a KD against Floyd that wasn't seen...but ultimately was inconsequential....Judah low blowed + rabbit punched Floyd to avoid gettin KO'd......i have the Floyd vs Judah fight.....seen the full fight literally about 8 or 9 times.....he made Floyd uncomfortable in the first 3 rds...he never had him in trouble.....after the 5th and 6th Floyd started laying on the punishment........

im not saying floyd is a joke, well actually i am but he has a ton of skill. i think it would be ****ing awesome if he was willing to fight the top 5 at welter there would be some good fights. but he ain't. it just doesn't happen. he doesn't want to lose. fight cotto, margarito, mosley, clottey, williams, pac, berto any of them i don't care. but he won't because he is a ****ing *****. he will continue to fight smaller or lesser opponents. so in theory he could be really good, but unfortunately this is a man's sport where eventually you have to back it up and get in the ring with the best. guys like sugar ray robinson wouldn't understand why he wouldn't want to fight the best.

i don't think nate campbell has recovered from robbie peden bashing the crap out of him, lol.

[check hook]

that is the dumbest post, sorry man. but i gotta rip into you on this one.
hatton gave floyd some tough rounds and it was at 147 which hatton had only once fought at before and he did not look good at the weight. PAC killed hatton in 2. Delehoya was a split decision for floyd. yea he was drained against pac but pac dominated every round and made him quit on his stool. cotto knocked judah out and clottey dominated him. Floyd got dropped by judah before going on to win on cards. Gatti had been in so many wars and was done when fought floyd, he only threw like 10 punches. JMM had never been dominated like he was against floyd. BUT FLOYD MADE HIM COME UP 2 WEIGHT CLASSES AND THEN MISSED WEIGHT AND FOUGHT HIM AT 146. marquez at super feather where pac fought him and lightweight is not the same as at 147. EVERY OTHER WELTER WOULD HAVE KNOCKED JMM OUT AND FLOYD COULDN'T. the corrales fight was good fight for floyd cause he comes straight forward. i'm not even going respond to the baldomir comment. Ive seen all these fights and i recommend you do before you start pumping gutless gayweathes tires again.

You have to understand boxing to know what i posted is not dumb......look at Pacs last 3 opponents....DLH, Hatton and Cotto.....2 of them are converted southpaws and literally cannot throw a str8 right to save their lives....Hatton also isn't the best at throwing a str8 right and the way he keeps in without moving his head means he is susceptible to short hooks.....

floyd is the hardest fight for Manny @ 147 because he has a laser str8 right lead, is fast of hand and foot and can throw any punch in the book proficiently

He won't stand and trade with Manny in the early rds nor will he move forward in the early rds.....he will move side to side and backwards.....

Also Floyd can throw punches effectively moving back...so is not a sitting duck......he knocked hatton out with a left hook with about a foot of distance moving backwards......

JMM gave Manny problems because he is a pure boxer who thinks + makes adjustments in the ring...also he can throw a str8 right hand....

Mayweathr Sr. or Roger Mayweather?

Who will Nate Campbell going to fight? Is it Roger of Floyd Sr?
Against Roger, Nate Campbell must depend on his footspeed and try not engage Roger too much, with that he has a big chance for an upset. But against Floyd Sr., he must learn to box, hit and run. All said, ANY of the Mayweathers will give Nate Campbell a beating of his life.

i agree with you on that. i think they will fight if they both win to unify the division. i think manny is just to athletic and too good right now to let a right hand stop him from coming forward. if you fight pac your going have to go to war eventually or run the whole fight. unlike floyd i think mosley would eventually get trapped into a brawl. it would be a good fight though. i have a lot of faith in roach too cause he does a good job preparing manny for his fights and the styles he's going against. two of the best trainers would be apart of that fight.
