      I would of liked to hear Irleis "Cubanito" Perez's thoughts on Camacho, they fought when both were young and in their prime.

        Macho time was far too short , great crazy character, sometimes wore a Roman outfit and all sorts but as said a very good fast fighter and great mover.Was very sad to hear the news.

            On one of the first televised fights of Hector Camacho they interviewed his trainer who stated: "Camacho was born to beat people up" a classic line

              Before Camacho fought Edwin Rosario he was an offensive cyclone after he got rocked by Rosario he was never quite the same offensive fighter as before.

                After defeating José Luis Ramirez. Camacho had a post-fight interview with Larry Merchant and said Whitaker and all you N**** come on with it, get it" he used the n word. Camacho knew how sell tickets and stir up controversy.

                  Camacho was one of those special talents that people never forget.
