Met Macho Chamacho today...

[tito yuca]

...while wearing my Sugar Ray Leonard shirt. Gotta love the irony.

Cool dude, though. Friendly, humble, and funny. He's like the opposite of Cotto in EVERY way, he was dancing all the time and being extremely gracious with his fans.

Don't know if anyone cares, but just wanted to share this.

Nah cool story

I've met Jr after his loss to Andriy Tsurkan since im good friends with Tsurkan

So he's a character even away from boxing?

Oh yeah, he's a trip. The cool thing is that you can tell he's a fun-loving dude, that he's not doing it to draw attention to himself or because he thinks he's better than people.

Watching him fight in the 80s, I wish he wasn't such a fun-loving, party type guy. Or at least, took the sport more seriously with training and less with the partying.

I think a lot of people forget (or don't know) what a seriously talented guy he was.

One of the fastest guys ever with his hands, also had fast legs and movement, decent pop, fluid where he seemed to be more "natural" with his boxing.

I definitely agree. He had tons of personal problems that contributed to him not being able to fulfill all his potential, but he was still a great fighter. Great speed, combinations, footwork, and confidence.

A HUGE one. I met him a few months before the Margarito fight, and he was incredibly snobby. And it's not like he was having a bad day, everyone else that has ever met him here in PR says hes a huge prick. Unless he's drunk, then he just starts acting "gay" for laughs or hitting on you if you're a woman.

Judging by this and the 24/7s, Cotto seems to have a fondness for gay jokes.

Does he just party here and there or is he a big drunk in general?

[MickyHatton]

Great fighter, loved him.

I remember hearing one story where Camacho was pulled over by the cops for driving too slow. The cop asks him what was he doing, and he tells the cop something like "well you see there is this woman right here on top of me, what do you think we were doing?"

[Swag Hustla]

Nice to see Camacho's charisma hasn't faded with age.

He was so full of life in his prime, lol:
