    I would vote for Camacho. At his best he was very good and probably slightly better than Tapia.He beat some good fighters and he ended Leonard's career.

      Why does it have to be a "one or the other" thing? Surely both men are worthy of enshrinement. I mean, have you actually seen some of the guys in the IBHOF?

        Also, Johnny Tapia doesn't get anywhere near enough credit on this board for how insanely talented he actually was. Especially early in his career.

          When I say the title, I was expecting who would snort more blow.

                I would like to see both get the call. But there are so many fighters that gave their all and so few spaces in the HOF.

                I am glad I am not the one making the decisions.
