your thoughts on Camacho Sr in his prime?

[ianblake]

Camacho sr had wins against old Leonard and Duran.

He did better than Calzaghe in regards to fighting out of prime fighters.

Camacho was old too

[Thread Stealer]

I never said he ducked anyone I just pointed out his best win and the worst defeat the end.

Mancini hadn't fought in 4 years. He was just a big name.

Camacho had better wins. Ramirez and Limon are probably his best wins.

I would mention El Chapo, but I thought Camacho lost that fight.

Camacho actually blamed his poor performance in that fight from being spooked by a mean look his mother gave him in the dressing room.

Camacho was old too

Not as old as Duran and Leonard, as with Calzaghe against Jones and Hopkins...

waste of talent? to a certain extent. he's won a hell of a lot of fights/titles, never been counted out, and is still boxing today. it was the drugs and the lifestyle that did him wrong. but he is a great. if you were a fight fan back in the 80's you always liked camacho, but as time goes by new fans seem to delute the accomplishments of older greats like camacho. or they've only seen them fight on youtube or bought the career sets. back then it was the sign of the times. i tip my hat to camacho, he's done alot, and lost more.

agree especially that Rosario fight that was great, he was so quick at times when his opponent was throwing a punch he would slip it and before they knew it he was behind them???? wtf????

El Macho vs ramirez



His hands were faster than Pacquiao and Floyds are.

He was really fast!!!!!!!!!!

[mexican boss]

I thought his best win was against Vinny Paz, Paz look to have all the advantages, and camacho made paz look like an ass in front of his own hometown.

I thought he was a very skilled fighter who just was not professional enough outside the ring.

I'm surprised some of the PR posters don't have any love for the guy, It's not like he is John Ruiz or anything!

ur right and if you grew up in the 80s he was Thar pr king?

[ianblake]

he was one of the best period he wasnt a waste of talent
eight-time World Champion, in six different weight classes
