Why did Whitaker and Camacho never fight?

[F l i c k e r]

Im not sure Sweet Pea beats Camacho, could go either way.

Do I really need to post a Sweet Pete gif or video?

Sweet Pee wanted non of this! lol

Sweet Pee wanted non of this! lol

The hell is he wearing...

[Dynamite Kid]

Both were around the same weight I believe...why did this fight never happen?

2 skilled fighters in the ring...$ on Pernell

Dont know but it would be pointless anyway imo, Whitaker would white wash Camacho imo.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Whitaker would have beaten him, both inside and out.

there was a rumor about them sparring, and whitaker getting the best of macho; i don't know too much about it, but camacho style wasn't the kind to get out boxed, and whitaker wasn't chavez either.styles make fights, and both of them would have missed alot.

[Vasyl’s dad]

If I remember correctly, they were good friends. And thinking about it, possibly coke buddies as well.

[ianblake]

does anyone remember this ...



three of of the toughest fighters that ever fought together on one bill. Pernal Whitaker, Hector Camacho,and Meldrick Taylor, all three champions.
The fights was stage at Caesars, at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada

that is a real PPV event

my money would have been on pernell in his prime...they were an even match in handspeed but camacho got hit more than pernell...plus prime pernell was a better ring general and too focused to lose to a headcase like camacho..

Bad style matchup. It would've been about who can make who miss more, rather than actually going out there and trying to take your opponent out.
