Awesome Looking forward to it.

Alotta noobs here have no idea who the original entertainer of boxing was before Floyd before Hamed Camacho and Jorge Paez started the whole entertainment showmen side of the sport.

I want to see Macho "The Hector Camacho story", that guy was blazed lightning in the ring. If he would've had discipline he could've been the greatest fighter out of Puerto Rico. He also could've been in the running for the greatest lightweight champion of all time. Unfortunately he had to many demons, that he couldn't control, or conquer. That said he was a fighting dynamo in the ring, great hand, and foot speed, excellent ring IQ, and a cast iron chin. He beat some of the greats, lost to others, and he never ever quit. He became a boring hit, and hold fighter after Edwin Rosario rocked his world, in Madison Square Garden. Before that he was amazing to watch, with his speed, power, and intelligence.

Yup in his prime he was the complete package but that Rosario fight also seemed to change him a bit his style became safety first after Rosario hurt him badly despite still winning the fight.

Macho Time!

There is zero doubt that Camacho at 130 was the faster fighter ever at that weight and one of the fastest fighters ever, period. His problems began when he rose up in weight and the lifestyle got to him, but watch his fights at 130, he was the definition of greased lightning!

Oh f**k yeah!

Can't wait for this.

Macho Time!

YEAH BUDDY!!!

A very under rated champion he has an amazing resume and fought every one from Jnr LW to MW.

That's right once Camacho tasted that devastating power that Edwin Rosario had, he never wanted to engage in another pitched battle. Edwin Rosario that's another sad story in boxing, just like Esteban Dejesus. They both used heroin, and it not only stunted their career's, it ultimately cost them their lives. I enjoyed watching all of them throughout their careers, and I can only imagine how much better they could've been. If only they had made better choices in their lives, they could've reached greater heights. God bless them all, and may their soul's rest in eternal peace.
