who was faster... hector camacho sr. or meldrick taylor?

At 140, Taylor. Camacho wasn't the same fighter nor quite as blazing fast as he had once been.

Not sure about the Camacho of earlier though, against the likes of Limon and Sato. Of course Hector was two divisions smaller so it's not the most fair comparison.

I agree with this. It's hard to say. You have to take into account power. Taylor rarely, if ever, truly tries to punch with power. He went for speed with a capital S. Camacho in his prime was probably nearly as fast but punched hard.

If they fought at 140? Taylor. Camacho wasn't the same anymore. People think he was a runner, but they forget what he was like before the Rosario fight. ****ing good! ****ing exciting!

"Nobody could run as fast as Camacho?" You must of missed the delahoja vs. TITO fight!!!

Meh...people only say that because they either dislike the guy (not hard to understand) or they haven't watched much at all of him.

...and who will win in a fight @ say, 140??

well historians?

they were both fast,very fast and accurate,but i give the edge to taylor as his punches were harder and seemed to hit its mark with a lot more finesse,in the fight i would pick taylor to win,not by an overwhelming margin but by barely a unanimous decision,
