Don't understand how someone as talented as Camacho got beat by Haugen.

      IMO that right there what your talking about is why fighters with talent, like Camacho, Dirrell, Nunn, Judah will/were never be considered elite, despite having elite skills, imo you must have the mental side down, thats what makes fighters like Hopkins, Holyfield so great, they are resourceful and composed under pressure, they can handle it mentally aswell as having the talent.

      Camacho reminded me of a better version of Malignaggi, talented but ultra defensive, did not offer enough offense to repel his opponents, although he was a little more aggressive earlier in his career.

        Stop overrating Camacho. He wasn't all that.

            Yeah, he refused to touch I gloves and it cost him a point if I remember correctly.

            I didn't know you can lose a point for that.

                  By the time he fought Camacho he had already fought Vinny twice and Sweet pea.

                  I'm sure those fights prepared him for the Macho Man.

                      That's part of it, but the ref was stallin' and Camacho got mad and took a swing at Haugen. Funny thing is, he looked like he wanted to take Haugen's head off

                      I wouldn't have taken a point, mainly because punch didn't land.
