    your thoughts on Camacho Sr in his prime?

    I thought he was one of the fastest boxers with natural instincts in the ring i have ever seen, i know he ran and held at times but i think he doesn't get a lot of credit he deserves?

    A monumental waste of talent.

    At 130 and even 135 to a point, he'd be a handful for numerous fighters who are greater historically than him.

    Again, what a waste.

      His best win was against Mancini and that isn't saying much considering how limited boom boom was.

      Then mix in the ass beating he took against Chavez and you can see why this guy was so overrated.

        One of the fastest and flashiest fighter ever.

          He was a very skilled and talented boxer, not really a great fighter though.

                Great handspeed and boxing skills, but he's a moron for not being disciplined. One thing that most people overlook when talking about him, he was a TOUGH motherfucker. Never stopped in over 60 professional fights.

                    You obviously have no clue what your talking about. If there ever been a fighter who truely saw EVERYONE that was Camacho. Yes, losses to Chavez, Trinidad and DLH, but he was pretty much out of it by then.
