"Come on Julio, come knock me out. If you’re going to knock me out, you’ve got to be around long enough to throw a punch."
BoxingTalk: Nate, what’s the latest? I heard you have some things you want to get off your chest.
Nate Campbell: I got a lot to say, especially about Julio Diaz. The only reason Julio Diaz wants to be champ is for the money. He’s prostituting his title. He has never made a mandatory defense. He got crushed by Jose Luis Castillo, and now he’s going up against Juan Diaz. You know he’ll vacate if he wins against Juan Diaz.
BoxingTalk:Â If you had a choice between facing Julio Diaz or Juan Diaz, who would you choose as your next fight?
Nate Campbell: All I want is the winner. I don’t care who wins as long as the winner has the stones to fight me.
BoxingTalk:Â Which Diaz do you feel would bring you the most money when you face him?
Nate Campbell:Â Probably Juan, but his people will try to get me nothing.
BoxingTalk: I know in the past that you have felt Julio has been ducking you. Do you still feel that way?
Nate Campbell: Julio has supposedly sent me a message that I’d be knocked out if I was to fight him. Come on Julio, come knock me out. If you’re going to knock me out, you’ve got to be around long enough to throw a punch.
BoxingTalk:Â Why do you feel Julio should fight you instead of Juan Diaz?
Nate Campbell: I’ve fought better competition. I’m the most feared man in division and I don’t even have a title.
BoxingTalk:Â What makes you the most feared man in your division?
Nate Campbell: I’m an old school fight and if they can make both guys fight me in a month’s time I’d take both of them on. I’m the prototype of what a fighter should be.Â
BoxingTalk:Â When can we expect to see you in the ring next?
Nate Campbell: I’m fighting the night of the Diaz-Diaz fight, on the undercard.
BoxingTalk:Â Do you know who your opponent will be?
Nate Campbell: I don’t know yet who I’m fighting, but I don’t care. Right about now they could put a bear out in front of me, and you wouldn’t have to worry about me, you would need to worry about the bear.
BoxingTalk:Â How is preparation going for your upcoming fight?Â
Nate Campbell: Training is going good. I’m busting my hump, staying in shape, and walking around the gym around 142-144 pounds.
BoxingTalk:Â What would you like to tell your fans that you have on BoxingTalk?
Nate Campbell: I just want to tell the fans that we’ve come a long way together, and stay with me just a little while longer, and I’ll have those titles for you.
