Hector Camacho

[Super Laszlo]

I disagree (on the first round part) - he gave up in the middle rounds and chose to just go the distance. I agree with you but in mid fight.

But even Dempsey admitted once that in Tunney I, ('26) when the 8th round ended he decided all that was left was to go the distance and he fought the last two rounds accordingly.

Now Camacho on the other hand quit much earlier, yes, and at times came close to acting shameless, e.g. at one point he was grabbing Trindad around the waist so often that he slipped down to his legs.

But a fighter quiting midway in a fight, protecting himself to go the distance, is not uncommon. It's just a reality of prize fighting. I suspect always has.

Have to disagree with you. Camacho in those particular fights gave up before the first bell. that is why he will forever be a coward in my eyes.
