    How would Hector 'Macho' Camacho have fared in today's Boxing landscape?

    Would he be a champ or just a fringe contender? How good was he really?

    He would’ve ran like a little biatch

      None of the current champions would be able to deal with him. In his prime, he was a phenom.

        At 130 his was a blur like Leonard; blinding speed, accuracy, and power. He would beat anything with two legs at 130 today, and nearly anyone if not anyone in history at 130. At 135, it started to go downhill for him.

          The pre-Edwin Rosario Camcho would have mopped the floor up with this current crop of competition. However, the post-Edwin Rosario Camacho would jabbed, grabbed and run to keep from getting his asswhooped.

            Spot on! Your assessment is so accurate; Especially in regards to that Edwin Rosario fight at 135. He was never the same fighter again. He won but he took a real licking in that fight. He was hurt and wobbled several times.

            He had gone from being a boxer/puncher to just a pure boxer. He became more and more reluctant to settle down on his punches for fear of getting hit. So he would constantly fight off the back foot.

              Yes Hector was a great fighter, fought everybody who was anybody across many divisions, Duran Hoya Trinidad Leonard Chavez Pazienza Mancini Boza-Edwards Rosario. a great career with a tragic end.

              Hector would be great in any era.

                Blazing fast hands. Terrific boxer. He’d beat anyone at 130 today. The only guy I’m not sure about at 135 is Lomachenko. Everyone else gets beat.

                  I don't think they would have licenced him now.

                    Dude, I'm taking him over anyone who ever lived at 130 other than Henry Armstrong, Alexis Arguello, & Floyd Mayweather Jr.
