HECTOR macho CAMACHO! was he really that good?

[Shaolin Bushido]

he fought some pretty good fighters

Rafeal bazooka limon
jose luis ramirez
freddie roach
edwin rosario
cornelius boza edwards
ray boom boom mancini
vinny pazienza
greg haugen
julio cesar chavez
felix tito trinidad
roberto duran
oscar de la hoya
sugar ray leonard

That's a great resume'.

[Shaolin Bushido]

I'll say this ... if there were a lightweight around with the talent of Hector Camacho ... he'd be a top contender if not a champion, today.

Héctor Camacho is one of the greatest PR boxers ever. He had great skills: good ring movement, great footwork, awesome handspeed, and a solid chin(never Koed and has only been down 2 or 3 times in a career of over 80 fights). He is a 5 time world champion and his level of opposition is superb. Ray Mancini, Edwin Rosario, José Luis Ramírez, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza, Julio César Chávez, an old Roberto Durán, an old Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, and Félix Trinidad are some of his opponents. He is 8-4 against this stellar bunch.

amazing jab, but he changed his entire approach to fighting when he got caught with a left hook from Rosario i think. He became a very cautious fighter after that. One of the best Jabs in boxing at the time.

I have never seen any of his younger fights but I heard he beat ray leonard when later in leonards career and he had many fights with an older duran. But I remember one of my friends uncles telling me that prince naseem reminded him of camacho and he said camacho came in at a time when leonard retired or something.



Drop your thoughts on him and if any one has some of his fights can you hook them up. thanks

1st time i saw him was against J C Chavez i was not impressed

Young Camacho schools Ramirez. Great handspeed and movement.

Ramirez was a tough fighter and a WBC lightweight champion who gave Alexis Arguello trouble (had Arguello down and lost a split decision) and was coming off a stoppage win over an undefeated Edwin Rosario.

Ramirez regained his WBC LW title after this fight by defeating Alli and defended it against Whitaker (controversial decision) and 'Boza' Edwards.

Not many could hurt Ramirez but Camacho had him down early in the fight because of the incredible handspeed.
