If you missed the chat session with WBA, IBF & WBO lightweight champion Nate Campbell, check out the entire transcript to see what he had to say. "I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao, but I'm more frustrated that these guys are getting rewarded for being more businessmen than fighters," he stated and you don't want to miss what else he had to say about Joan Guzman, Manny Pacquiao and much more.

TheHype: FightHype would like to welcome Nate Campbell to tonight's chat session.

NATE CAMPBELL: What's up FightHype?

Mean Mister Mustard: Hey Nate, thanks for being here. I wanted to ask you, after beating Guzman if you could face any of the fighters that have beaten you who would it be and why? It can be anyone of those guys. And by the way, I would never do this in real life so can you give me a chance and let me E-Slap you? I could brag about it to my friends "Hey I E-Slapped Nate Campbell."

NATE CAMPBELL: No, you can't do the E-slapping!

NATE CAMPBELL: I haven't beaten Guzman till I fight him. I don't think like that. If it's a perfect world, I would like to fight all of them one by one.

BigPoppaPump: Hey Nate. What's the deal with Joel Casamayor running from you to fight Marquez? Don't you think boxing is in a sad state when guys like Casamayor would prefer fight a Marquez as opposed to fighting you, who just captured damn near all the belts.

NATE CAMPBELL: It is what it is! I don't know what people believe is going on in boxing, but it's not good. I don't know what it is when guys are fighting lesser fighters for more money, but it's unfair. I'm going to fight the best fighters I can.

woooooo: does it frustrate you being the unified champ and having to call out guys to fight you? If Manny doesnt fight Oscar would you be interested in fighting him since its clear Casamayor wont?

NATE CAMPBELL: Yes, I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao, but I'm more frustrated that these guys are getting rewarded for being more businessmen than fighters.

muaythaifan: Is there anything about Guzman stylistically that you think will give you problems? Are you expecting him to be on his bike all night?

NATE CAMPBELL: I don't see anything that will give me any problems. Guzman is going to do his best. He wants to win.

NATE CAMPBELL: I do think I will have to chase him.

MikeManiscalco: Hey Nate, nice to see a fellow flordian putting a beatdown on some people. There is a lot of big fights coming up, which fight are you most intrested in seeing?

NATE CAMPBELL: I saw the fight I was most interested in seeing and that was Cotto-Margarito.

NATE CAMPBELL: That was the one I was most interested in so far this year.

dangibbons: What do you think is the biggest difference in your career now than in the early stages when you lost to the likes of Robbie Peden? Are you just taking the fight game more seriously now?

NATE CAMPBELL: Here's what's different. People see me as a different person because of those losses. It hurts my feelings because they try to base my career on my 5 losses. I have a good team behind me now and that's the biggest difference.

Box in Hand: What was it about Diaz that you saw that made you so sure you were going to dominate him? Good luck on your next fight. Your people are proud of you!

NATE CAMPBELL: Thank you, first off.

NATE CAMPBELL: Diaz had never fought somebody like me. I now know who I am and I'm truly much more than a fighter. I'm a professional prizefighter and I'm comfortable in my own skin.

Mean Mister Mustard: If you could fight anyone in a any weight class who would it be? And come on, let me E Slap you, take it on the chin like the champ you are.

NATE CAMPBELL: If you E-slap me, I get to punch you in the body. That's a fair swap. I wouldn't even hit you in the head. Any one of the Klitschko brothers.

BigPoppaPump: Have you ever considered a move up to 140 to maybe take on a Ricky Hatton or a Paul Malignaggi?

NATE CAMPBELL: Paulie is my dude.

NATE CAMPBELL: They've got enough trouble with Randall Bailey.

NATE CAMPBELL: I'm not greedy and I'll never go up in weight unless it's a situation where he wouldn't get a fight.

NATE CAMPBELL: I don't like fighting people that I care about.

NATE CAMPBELL: I fought Ricky Quiles and I love him so much and I hated putting my hands on him. We had to fight, but it was a bittersweet victory.

woooooo: Who do you see winning the Tarver-Dawson fight? Thanks for stopping by champ.

NATE CAMPBELL: Thank you for having me and I dont know. Tarver can still punch.

muaythaifan: I hear you mentions the term "professional prizefighter" a lot lately. What exactly does it mean to you to be a professional prizefighter and can you give us an example of someone who isn't a professional prizefighter? You don't have to mention any names...but maybe some traits of someone who isn't.

NATE CAMPBELL: A professional prizefighter is somebody that knows his job in the ring. A prizefighter does it because he loves it and it's his living. They're not in it to become rappers or actors. Traits? Their love for boxing is gone.

MikeManiscalco: A lot of people have a lot to say about the unexcitment of the heavyweight division, what is your take on that?

NATE CAMPBELL: I have the same thing to say. I agree.

marzb: Respect due Nate, I love your pieces and how you interact with the fans and of course your boxing style. What was the key (boxing strategy wise) in your win over Diaz?

NATE CAMPBELL: I love what I do.

NATE CAMPBELL: Just knowing how to fight.

NATE CAMPBELL: I fought my fight the whole way.

TheHype: FightHype would like to thank Nate Campbell for taking time out to chat with us tonight.

NATE CAMPBELL: Thank you so much for supporting me. My fans are most important to me and any time you want me on, let me know ahead of time and I'm here.

NATE CAMPBELL: Peace FightHype.

FIGHTHYPE FAN PHONE CALL


All, I just got one of the coolest phone calls I've had in a long time.  For once, it wasn't a bill collector or a greedy relative looking for money.  Nope, I got a call from the champ Nate Campbell.  He had me laughing right off the bat.  It was like talking to someone from around the way.  It was also inspirational as he told me how he lives a clean life and leaves it all in the ring.  My favorite part of the conversation was his take on the Diaz fight.  Nate said he knew better than anyone he was gonna beat Diaz.  He even told Diaz that and he said Diaz turned white as some bed sheets (LMFAO).  Nate was a great guy and I wish him all the best.
