Camacho vs Mayweather at 130 - Your pick?

[richardt]

Let's compare completely different fighters as in styles, attributes, weight class, etc... yet cite Castillo? Castillo had a nice size advantage, strength advantage, and it was Floyd's 1st fight at lightweight(torn rotator cuff also).

In both fights, the slower Castillo still landed his share and he was much slower than Camacho. Floyd had a great defense but if a number of guys who were slower could land a small number of punches per round on Floyd, Camacho at 130 would land at a much higher rate. This would be a very close fight.

Who would be the aggressor is the real question. But Macho Camacho is a handful for alot of fighters and at 130 he was wonderful. Would've been great. One of the greatest 24/7s of all time!

50/50 fight , both exceptionally skilled fast fighters .

Perfect and to the point. Not an easy fight for either guy.

Let's compare completely different fighters as in styles, attributes, weight class, etc... yet cite Castillo? Castillo had a nice size advantage, strength advantage, and it was Floyd's 1st fight at lightweight(torn rotator cuff also). Camacho doesn't have the same intangibles against Floyd as Castillo did. Using the Castillo fight at 135lbs against Floyd for a fantasy fight against Camacho at 130lbs makes no sense. Floyd is better than Camacho imo in every way. The only intangible that Camacho has over Floyd is being a southpaw.

Floyd vs Camacho at every weight Floyd and Camacho both competed at:
Floyd by UD at 130lbs.
Floyd by UD at 135lbs.
Floyd by UD at 140lbs.
Floyd by UD at 147lbs.
Floyd by UD at 154lbs.
Hell I have 130lbs Floyd beating any version of Camacho.

what about floyd-camacho at canelo-weight 155?
what about floyd-camacho at chavez-weight 170?

floyd never had power. please post some of floyd's devastating stoppages at 130...oh yeah there are none. some corner stoppages but that doesn't show great power. it shows that he doesn't have great power because he was able to continuously hit his opponents without knocking them out during the action.

I get it you hate Floyd. If you can't even admit the obvious we have nothing to talk about.

Great post. Ive thought about this many times. Im a huge fan of floyds. A 130 match up macho man would only spell trouble. His footwork was superb and he would circle the ring
pumping out that double and triple jab. Macho was so ****y aswell that he would actually walk into the ring like he was the A-side , and mentally thats a huge help to him.

i would lean towards a floyd split dec but a hard fought split but at the same time
i wouldnt be surprised if it goes machos way. At 130lbs macho looked like he was out of a computer game.

Camacho easy

I wouldn't pick any fighter in history to beat Mayweather at 130.

At 130lbs macho looked like he was out of a computer game.

That's exactly what it seems like when Camacho was young......it was like watching a computer game figure come to life. A blur of every punch in the book, darting in and out, circling and winding up behind a fighter, to the side of the fighter, like a 360 hologram.

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

Lol TRINIDAD didn't stop camacho. Stop reaching
