Rubbish. To be world class you actually have to beat someone world class. He hasnt.
He looks world class at british level but has been exposed when he has stepped up.

I thought he beat Linares.

He gave a good account. Ran him closer than Mitchell and Crollla but i thought it was a clear win for Linares despite Campbell being competitive. Just don't think Luke is tough enough at world level.

He's tough enough. After a poor start against Linares he fought on even terms.

Thats his problem. When he fights vs an opponent like Mendy who comes to win and is willing to bite down on his gum shield when things get tough and not be broken Luke and has stuggled. Hes clearly a bit chinny....Mendy, Mendez and Linares have all dropped him.....imagine what Garcia would do to him

to be fair to Campbell i thought he had no chance against linares , and in that fight,he showed a lot of qualities, i feel he has been brought on to slowly ,

its funny i thought jonh joe nevin was gonna have a better pro carer then luke , still waiting

i think it takes some pretty generous judging to have campbell beating linares, youd prerty much have to give campbell every round after the third which is a stretch, he hardly dominated. martin murray had a better argument for beating martinez, sturm, and abraham

right now vs top flight opp cambell is good try but not good enough, lets see if he comes again. mendy is a good start to gauge his improvement

Too slowly?
You think facing Linares in his 19th fight is too slowly?
I thought it was about 2 fights too soon. Before Loma moved up, Linares was #1 LW in the world and very experienced.

On the flip side he turned pro same time as Joshua so comparing the two.........

True but he also had an expected loss and his well publicised personal issues.

I know. I'm a fan of Luke.

I still think he can do well. Plenty of good fights for him out there.
