    Lol

    Wasn't he the first one to have those crazy outfits coming to the ring?

    And the first to have those shorts with the cuts on the side?

      Might have been, though Vinny Pazienza started wearing that same poofy **** about the same time. Jorge Paez came a bit later.

        Haha Yea, I remember Paez. He was like the Kimbo Slice of that time.

        I think his look was the only thing he was known for at that time. He had a few descent wins, but people mainly tuned in for his wardrobe. He was one of those guys that looked like they can fight. I mean to come to the ring with that flamboyant outfit, you have to have some skills, right?

          Paez pretty much lost every time he stepped up. Camacho at least had some good names in his win column. I guess if you dress up like that you better be able to fight or your gonna get beat up a lot :hahahaha9:

              one of the quickest left in boxing in my book one of the
              greatest to come out of Puerto Rico reason I started to watch
              boxing was cause of Camacho-Rosario talked mad sh°t but
              backed it up 79 times very impressive record

                I lost respect for his son when he quit against Leija, he had a cut
                over his eye and he said he couldn't continue he still won the fight
                but he knew he was winning so he quit...that was the end for him

                  Dude was a BEAST in his prime. I hated his little gay curl and his loudmouth but dude fun to watch in the ring.

                  I remember Duran made him cry, it was funny.
