It's just a case of old bodies can't make weight anymore, Nate's 36 at a certain point your body will only let you get so low.

yea thats true, how long has he been a lightweight seems like ever since he started. he started his pro career late right? at age 25? and his always been a lightweight. im still dissapointed though, i had a feeling something about the guzman situation will hunt this bout. :(

WTH was Nate thinking and eating?? After all that shit he taked on Guzman he pulls the same shit damn. :plthumbsdown:

I think Nate will lose this fight. But After this fight... there's one more fight with nate win or lose. A rematch with Guzman.. this time no weight Limit. Winner keeps on fighting, the loser will retire for good!

The fact that he came in at 138 and weighed back in 2 hours later only a half a pound less, basically means that he must have made a conscious decision not to attepmt to make the weight and be weight drained after the first attempt. He must have felt that if he vacates the titles and he doesnt kill himself to lose 3 pounds he'll be strong and win tommorow. If he killed himself those two hours and dehydrated himself, he could be at great risk of losing the fight and completely ending his career. This way, hell be strong as ever and still likely win and hope to salvage his reputation. From a business standpoint, it makes sence. But Ali got the bad end of the deal because hes basically fighting a light welterweight.

I hate to hear something like that.

A guy like Campbell needs the belts. It's the biggest bargaining chips he has. Or had. Without them his money value drops. Dramatically. He's not even the Ring champion. Campbell has pretty much removed himself from the Lightweight picture.

TBH though I think its better he doesn't weight drain himself too much to make the weight & then we the fans don't get to see him fight because he's not physically able to. I think if he was trying to cut the pounds & realized he couldn't than its better that he doesn't do himself harm & we lose a fight because of it. Also as he was in negotiations with Hatton prior to the Pacquiao fight being made, I think he will be able to get a fight against one of the belt-holders at 140. Yesterday he was saying that he planned to move up to light-welter after this fight. Its not the same as Guzman not making the weight because he was coming up from a lower weight & couldn't make it coz of his lifestyle, I think Nate couldn't do it coz of his age

I agree with that, but I dont see Hatton fighting him win or lose against Pac. The best fights he can hope to land in the future are probably Holt, Bradley, or Urango. Not sure he fares against any of those guys :-\ Thats assuming he wins tommorrow as I suspect he will.

Don't get me wrong I agree that he won't get a fight with Hatton, but I see him easily getting a fight with the winner of Holt/Bradley, as they are all in pretty much the same boat fo being talented but unrecognized by the wider public. A loss tomorrow screws him tho. One thing this does do though is open the Lightweight division right up. I can see Warren being bang on that WBO belt for Khan if he beats Barrera, maybe even trying to get the belt for that fight.

Is the fight still on?

Its still on..credit to Funeka for still facing him.

it's kinda like Corrales vs. Castillo and III Corrales vs. Casamayor III all over again Castillo (Guzman) failed to make weight and then Corrales canceled the fight, then Corrales (Campbell) goes on to lose his title on the scales in his very next fight
