[Round 1]

Camacho is an all time Latino great and very underrated. We know his potential, so that's what matters. He was a three division champion who faced the best fighters around and beat most of them.

Hey exciter, como estas?
I don't think Camacho was ever knock down, not that I can remember, do you know?

Hola, varón. Well, I saw Camacho being dropped by Reyes Cruz and Oscar De la Hoya, plus Houk dropped him a couple of years ago. Anyway, that's an old Camacho and still Macho stopped Houk later. Rosario hurt him badly, but Camacho remained standing. Anyway, Macho Time!

Got it, he was never Knocked out for the count.

Indeed. Never Ko'ed in his career.

Yes he was never KOed or TKOed, people say that that was true because he ran away when he was in danger, but i remember Macho telling me a story about how in the Chavez fight his corner asked him several times to throw in the towel, with both of his eyes closed shut (as he said "i couldn't see shi*") and his body hurting like hell, he refused to quit, in the eleventh, his corner almost threw in the towel but he demanded no! He had more pride and more heart than what people think or remember, especially those who judge him on his flamboyant and boisterous ways.

A couple of nights ago, I was using Yahoo messenger and visited their Boxing chatroom. It was pretty slow, but I found some guy who knew his stuff. We started to chat about old fights and all of that and he mentioned that he had been a pro boxer, but he did not want to say his name. He said he had been a Light Heavyweight in the 70's and 80's and mentioned some other LH's like Saad Muhammad, Yaqui Lopez, and Galindez. After a while, I asked him to tell me who he had beaten and the guy said one of his wins had been a Ko of Lonnie Bennett. I went to Boxrec and combined with some details he had accidentally given, I came to the conclusion that he was Mike Rossman. That guy was a former champion. I asked him if his initials were MR and he was surprised. The guy did not admit it but it was almost clear. Maybe or maybe not, but looks like it was the guy. Anyone knows about him?

I want to resurrect this thread because I finally found a Mike Rossman fight and remembered this thing that happened to me almost a year ago. Anybody else has heard that name before?

Everybody should remember Mike Rossman. WBA Light heavy champ in 78. Beat the great Galindez to win the title but lost it back to him a few months later.

[Orishaman]

Nice, Exig. Maybe I chatted with a true boxer after all. If it was him, that is.

Yaqui Lopez was a beast....I saw him fight an talk plenty with my bud Von Jonhson...fought undercard to him....and spared with him, hard hitter
