Macho Camacho was undefeated until like his 39th fight and 11th year as a pro...up until that point he won titles in 3 weight classes, WBO at 140, WBC at 135, and WBC at 130
up to that point he held wins over gold medallist Howard Davis Jr., and champions Bazooka Limon Jose Luis Ramirez, Cornelius Boza Edwards, Edwin Rosario, Mancini, Hall of fame trainer Freddie Roach, and Vinny Paz
He was starting to decline but had a case for being top 3-5 pound for pound in the mid to late 80's.
He eventually lost to former world champion Greg Haugen, but won the rematch....clearly past his prime, he and JCC fought when it should have happened in the 80's but hey its boxing....he went on to lose to Trinidad and DLH all 3 are hall of famers....beat past prime legends Sugar Ray Leonard and Duran....he only lost to non-champions far past his prime
Camacho actually has wins over 4 hall of famers...Mancini, Leonard, Duran, and Rosario he deserves to be right beside them
Here is my tribute thread to the Macho Man
