The pre-Edwin Rosario Camcho would have mopped the floor up with this current crop of competition. However, the post-Edwin Rosario Camacho would jabbed, grabbed and run to keep from getting his asswhooped.
Precisely, good post mayne.
And at a time when Camacho was dealing with drug addiction and run ins with the law. Hell, for his fight against Trinidad he was on house arrest and had to train at his house since he couldn't leave. Imagine if Hector had half the discipline of a Duran, De La Hoya or Trinidad.
Factsss. That’s 100% true when taken in context but as we know in boxing context is only used by certain individuals in order to make certain fighters look good or bad.
Makes no sense. Chaves sr wiped the floor with him.
Yeah, these other dudes said it for me
Makes perfect sense. He said at 130 he fought JCC sr at 140.

Dude, I'm taking him over anyone who ever lived at 130 other than Henry Armstrong, Alexis Arguello, & Floyd Mayweather Jr.

None of the current champions would be able to deal with him. In his prime, he was a phenom.
Yes Hector was a great fighter, fought everybody who was anybody across many divisions, Duran Hoya Trinidad Leonard Chavez Pazienza Mancini Boza-Edwards Rosario. a great career with a tragic end.
Hector would be great in any era.
. At 135, it started to go downhill for him.Spot on! Your assessment is so accurate; Especially in regards to that Edwin Rosario fight at 135. He was never the same fighter again. He won but he took a real licking in that fight. He was hurt and wobbled several times.
He had gone from being a boxer/puncher to just a pure boxer. He became more and more reluctant to settle down on his punches for fear of getting hit. So he would constantly fight off the back foot.
At 130 his was a blur like Leonard; blinding speed, accuracy, and power. He would beat anything with two legs at 130 today, and nearly anyone if not anyone in history at 130.
