    Honestly. yeah he should get it. Hard to say great fighter, but he was very very good. At 130 he was great. Rosario took away his confidence and changed his career totally.

    Off topic.... But I am also willing to place Saoul Mamby into the IBHOF as well.......... Mamby has 20+ losses on his record, but 98% of those losses are decisions....... Mamby was a road warrior who dropped many a hometown decision..... Aside from that jazz, Mamby fought every Tom, Dick & Harry whoever boxed between 135 to 147 pounds........ I like the dude.......

    No.

    The standards are too low. By my standards, he wouldn't make it.

    Not a big Camacho fan by any definition! But he should be a lock, the skills, the resume and the longevity should seal it!

    LOOK! I saw and have a tape of "Camacho-Rosario" from '86 on file............... Rosie had a few good rds in which he hurt Camacho.... BUT! Overall, Camacho won on points...... Rosario looked good, but he fell back on points......... I gave Camacho the nod....... WORD!

    I had Rosario by a point (I also had mancini beating him 116-112), but all of that is irrelevant. I have disagreed with many boxing decisions over the years, and am certain that evry poster on here has as well. We can't credit a fighters resume based upon anything other than the official results.....and for me the results say Hall of Fame, it's MACHO TIME!

    One of the best feather-fisted fighters of all-time I might add, camacho was built for decision after decision...
