    Camacho found himself without nothing to beat them, he was worry about Trinidad's power that he spent much of the entire fight running, he luckily survived 12 rounds with dela hoya trying to avoid being knockout.

      You need to add Edwin Rosario to the list of fighters who beat Camacho. I don't care what any judge says, it was a clean win for Rosario.

      Chavez cut the ring and landed a lot of bombs, they fought at 140. When he fought Trinidad, he broke Trinidad's nose and cut him in the eye I believe in the first round, then Trinidad found his right hand and Camacho survived holding on for dear life. When Camacho fought DLH, it was an even worse performance for him, he looked tired after the 4th round, DLH put in some good body work.

        I agree, though I thought the Rosario fight was pretty close. Either way, Rosario changed Camacho's career after he nearly took his head off. After that, Camacho became a hit and run artist.

          He did look terrible against DLH, Tito, Chaves (and Rosario). Other than that, Camacho was a very good, slick boxer who had some power but chose to box instead of power punch to win his fights.

          He moved down from Jr. Middleweight and Middleweight fights to fight Oscar at 147, that's why he was tired. As for Haugen, the point deducted for not touching gloves in the final round cost him a draw. Chavez made him his *****.

          I think he deserves to go in the Hall of Fame, for sure. He had wins over Chapo Rosario, Boom-Boom Mancini, Freddie Roach, Vinny Paz, and twice against a very old Roberto Duran.

            Camacho had a beatiful boxing style. He was a great counter puncher and fustrated many opponents almost like Pernell Whitaker. You have to watch his early fights and just see his technique. It's something to watch!

              I think he's a HOF too, though you can argue that he made his mark against good fighters past their prime.
              He was gonna have one more fight before he got busted for drugs and burglary. Anybody know if he still wants one more fight or is it over?

                Camacho was a waste of talent. the man was incredibly gifted but was lazy and too much into the partying life.

                there's very few guys I'd pick over him at 130.

                he took a pretty bad beating against jcc, but took it like a man.

                against tito and dlh, he fought just to survive. well he did that too against chavez, but to a lesser extent.

                  Only a few latinos were slick boxers, camacho was one of them. The rest have the rep for just being brawlers, never disrespect mr. camacho, k-dogg.

                    There's actually quite a few.

                    Ortiz was slick. Benitez was slick although inconsistent. Duran was a slick brawler who could box. Jofre and Sanchez had good defenses.

                    I dunno if I'd call Oscar "slick", but he has a pretty good defense.

                    Same with Chavez. I'm not sure if "slick" is the right word, but he had pretty good head movement and rolled with and slipped shots effectively.
