Jacksonville, FL: Former unified lightweight champion Nate Campbell heard that WBO jr/ welterweight champion Tim Bradley is having difficulty finding an opponent, and is ready to answer the call.

"Look here, Timmy is in the exact same spot I was when I had all the belts at 135. All dressed up and nobody to dance with. The only fights I could get were mandatories. Call it what you want. Blame it on King, blame it on whoever, but NOBODY would fight me. After I beat Diaz, the only cat at 135 who had the stones to actually step in the ring with me at 135 was Ali Funeka. And even if I'd been at 100% for that fight, that cat still would have been a tough out. He don't play. Hits 100 times harder than little Timmy."

"But I'm getting off point here. Bottom line is I can understand what Timmy is going through, cause I've been there. But Buckethead is forgetting one big difference. He has a guy like me right here, ranked #2 to his very own WBO title, that is ready, willing, and able to fight him. He dont have to look too far down his own title rankings to find me. And I know that if something could be worked out with a Bradley fight, that Golden Boy could find someone else for the Ortiz kid. It would save Ortiz from gettin knocked off anyways, so its win-win for Golden Boy."

"All Gary Shaw has to do is call Richard and see if they can work it out. I'm sure Richard could put together a better site deal in Vegas, so I wouldnt have to worry about Timmy's uncle David being the referee again. And besides, it aint like Buckethead sells any tickets, so there ain't no need to go back to Palm Springs. Maybe a fight could be worked out. Maybe not. But until Shaw actually calls Richard to see, ain't nobody knows what could get done."

 

"Timmy likes to tell everyone that he was gonna whoop me anyways, well lets find out. Come get it then. 2 close rounds that could have went either way, and then he butts me with is big ass bucket head and mashes my eyeball in? Thats not very decisive if you ask me. Don't he want to straighten it? Lets finish it once and for all. Come put this old man to bed. Shut me up. Come retire me if you can. You ain't got to look at lightweights, or find a soft touch at 147. I'm right here at 140, ranked #2 to YOUR title."

"If you have the stones, then let's do this. And if you don't, that's cool, I understand. I probably wouldn't want to fight me either. You can just say it aint enough money, or some other bulls**t. There's 100 different ways to turn down a fight, and you already know most of them. But then stop bitching about how nobody will fight you."
