I knew they were going to try to make some stupid claims. Thank God they don't have Bob Arum, Don King or someone behind them anymore to INVENT the 'proof.'
Let me just say this; Nate Campbell has ALWAYS been a better fighter than Juan Diaz. He stood toe to toe with Juan and beat him at his own game--even out punched him. He has been a top contender for more than a year, and no one wanted to give him a shot (not Julio, not Juan, not Casamayor and not Katsidis). In fact the Juan camp tried to push Campbell off on Katsidis, but HAD to fight Nate b/c he is #1 in the IBF (does anyone remember that he also STOPPED Kid Diamond before Huerta HUMBLED him?)
I have said this for years that the only one who could beat Nate Campbell was himself--he showed that in the Peden fights. I think he learned that valuable lesson and will use it to work harder in coming fights.
I say Campbell will clean up the division, because he will destroy Casamayor, beat Diaz again, and can outbox
SIDE NOTES--the same thing about 'learning from his loss' can be said for Margarito. He will be a true monster at WW from here forward. Just watch.
ROID RAGE--I still say that three 'steroids' calls of the past three years have been questionable
1--Omar Nino (WBC JuFly) stripped after he dismantled Brian Viloria. IMO, Viloria's people said/did whatever they could to get their man back into a title fight, and he lost the next one also.
2--Orlando Salido (IBF Fwt) being stripped after beating up Robert Guerrero. This was another questionable 'positive,' becasue the supposed 'steroid' is found naturally in the human body, and takes a special test just to find. Are you telling me they were conducting special tests for EVERYONE that day?
3--Juan Carlos Gomez (WBC Int'l Hwt) stripped of his belt for supposed cocaine use, which he emphatically denies. However, McCall (his opponent) was arrested and publicly apologized weeks later for being a cocaine addict...? Can you say 'switched the tests?'
Event when we think there is proof, there is politics. Be wary.
