damn good fighter, some of the fastest hands of all time.
outstanding at 130-135lbs. watch some of his fights there.
also went up against prime Trinidad and DLH past his prime and past his best weight and didnt get too hurt(all things considered)...extremely difficult to beat up.
underrated nowadays bcause people only remember him for his past prime running style.Comment

get the f outta here...Hector isn't in the Hall of Fame because candidates must be retired for 5 years before being considered. I believe that he will be a first ballot appointee, as, in his day, and at his peak, he was unbeatable. Many of us forget just how good he was, the fastest hands I have ever seen, and, until a certain point in his career, a roaring tiger in the ring, with solid KO power. He outclassed most of his opposition, but reached his peak earlier than fighters today do.
I have the highest respect for him.
Chavez taxed that a$$.
Camacho was very talented but don't say unbeatable even in his prime, come on.Comment

Camacho did NOT tax ANY a$$ at 135lb which is where Hector was BEAST. Add to that, Camacho was on decline when he fought Chavez, it is said that Chavez waited for Camacho's decline before fighting him. The Camacho that fought Chavez was not the same. Besides, with all the plaster and ******* water, who knows what Chavez was on back in the day.
Take that taco outta ya ass son. Camacho is Hall of Fame no doubt.Last edited by BorderPatrol; 03-10-2011, 12:01 PM.Comment

It's not even that, he said some real nasty things about Mexico. Insulted the women, culture he went a little over board. I'm all for trash talking but sometimes it goes too far. Like when Hopkins threw the PR flag on the ground, there's just certain things you don't do.
Stop making excuses, Camacho doesn't beat Chavez EVER. Prime, not prime, it makes no difference. Style was bad for Camacho, Chavez came forward and Camacho wasn't able to handle the body work.Camacho did NOT tax ANY a$$ at 135lb which is where Hector was BEAST.
