    Prime Camacho would've been hell for PBF.

        Name the faster hands. Taylor had slightly quicker fast twitch muscle fibers, but in terms of putting punches together with accuracy and speed, not sure I've ever seen quicker than a young Camacho.

          Camacho's hands in his prime, such as in the Limon fight, were a ****ing blur.

          Given his weight class, Roy's handspeed were still the ones out of anyone that just had me shaking my head in awe.

            WHO??? Where??? When it comes to throwing Combos, nobody tops a prime Camacho. If you're less than 30 years old, or wasn't watching boxing in the 1980's, I don't think you know what we're talking about. Be for real, and name who. I just gotta know.

            Zab Judah got a wicked left upper-cut.
            Shane Mosely...straight right hand.
            Floyd Mayweather...counter right hand.
            Roy Jones Jr...quickness in right hand, the left was not as fast.
            Ray Leonard comes the closest to Hector Camacho's hand speed, combinations.

                camacho looks happy in that chair

                I was sure he was going to beat Trinidad when they were set to meet back in the late 90's.

                I remember he would fight on espn a few times and truth be told he was actually exciting to watch, he'd usally get a tko in his fights or just over whelm his opponets, but when he stepped up to the elite he did his running.

                What i want to know is who started all the flash first Paez or Camacho? Both these guys were halirious with there outfits, Paez maybe more so, once wearing a wedding dress into the ring. And i think Paez clowned more, but man one thing Camacho could do is catch your attention when he talked. He could say some crazy outlandish ****.

                Camacho not being ko'd by Delahoya says a lot of Camachos chin, i remember Delahoya hit Camacho with some wicked shots.

                    I remember during one of the Camacho-Paz press conferences he threw a tampon at Vinny and told him he's going to need it after the fight since he's a "bleeder". LOL! Any other things you can think of that Hector said in the past? He was indeed a wild character.
