Camacho vs Mayweather at 130 - Your pick?

[bigjavi973]

Mayweather. Easily. Would not break a sweat

How so? Care to explain?

[bigjavi973]

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.

AND camacho was a southpaw.

Camacho got hit and hurt far more against Rosario than Mayweather ever has in his career. Rosario wasn't exactly a speed demon either.

I've watched both and Mayweather is the better fighter and it shows in how their careers turned out.


Also, Castillo hit Mayweather mostly to the body using his size and strength to pressure Mayweather to the ropes. Camacho was not that type of fighter and wouldn't have any size advantages.

Invalid - Camacho fought a higher caliber of fighters more often than Floyd. If Camacho had Floyd's list of fighters at the points in which he fought them, I have no doubt he'd be undefeated too.

Floyd vs Mosley years past it's expiration date, Floyd vs Cotto years past it's expiration date and now Pacquiao years past it's expiration date

Would Floyd have gone through prime Trinidad, DLH and Chavez Sr unscathed? If the honest answer is yes, then you could then honestly say one is truly better.

Camacho at 130 is very underrated these days. He was excellent. But I still can't pick him over Floyd.

whoever u paired with Floyd > F will triumph

Camacho vs Mayweather = Leonard vs Benitez

Aside from a few subtle differences these are basically the same fights & IMO would have similar outcomes...

Wilfred was more than capable but in the end could not match Ray's strength, punching power, or accuracy & Camacho would suffer a similar fate losing a CLEAR but competitive decision...

Skill sets & talent were similar but physical differences ( strength, power, focus) are what separate Mayweather from "The Macho Man"...

Looks like i'm one of the few picking camacho. The man was an absolute beast in the lower weights.
Brushmyhair don't like him because he was way better dancer than broner!!!

AND camacho was a southpaw.

Don't waste your time, he's an idiot. he scored round one 10-8 for Clottey against Cotto. one of the biggest idiot trolls on these boards.

Rosario was at 135. Everything I am talking about is at 130 where 5 pounds made a big difference on Camacho's speed. At 130, Camacho is a nightmare for Floyd.
