Camacho vs Mayweather at 130 - Your pick?

[richardt]

Remember, this is at 130. When I watch footage of him at 130, it is like watching a human blur. In a fantasy matchup between the two at 130, I have to give the edge to Camacho. At higher weights, he would have still been a handful, but at 130, he was perfection. He could turn and be behind a guy and hit him before the other guy knew it. A friend of mine, Ice John Scully, former 175 contender even said he tried to use that technique in some of his fights.

For Camacho, he was not just punching at an angle, he was a 360 degrees buzz saw.

Amazing how many fighters copied his flashy ring entrances....Hamed, Paez, etc, etc. Man, it sure would be great to see another fighter like that who was a human blur. I don't see anyone with that blinding speed or even near it.

Here is footage of a prime Camacho. Even when they show slow motion, he is still faster than most guys at 130.

No way. Camacho in EIGHTY-FIVE fights took the punches of everyone from 130 to 154 and was not stopped. Whether you think Floyd wins or not is everyone's opinion but no way in hell does Floyd come close to stopping 130 Camacho. No one walks him down or is better at circling than he was at 130.

fights where 15 rounds back then homie, floyd's accuracy and camacho's failing stamina would be the end of it.

Nope. We are talking about 130, not 135, 140, 147. Camacho was not ever stopped by anyone and he never had any stamina issues at 130.

If a slower Castillo one weight class up could land on Floyd for numbers almost equal to the numbers Floyd landed, the much faster Camacho could too, and more. Far from an easy fight, a very difficult one from the lightning hands and feet of Camacho. He would be a living nightmare for Floyd to solve. At higher weights, yeah, but not at 130. The best Floyd would do is barely win, if that.

I made this thread, I think the weight I chose was 147. But the general consensus was Floyd wins.

At 147, I see Floyd winning because Floyd has been far more dedicated at 147 than Camacho was but at 130, Camacho was on top of the world and in an amazing zone. He lost something when he partied and rose in weight.
