Hector Camacho Sr: Top 5 ATG at 135/140?

sorry son of gaul but i don't see him being competitive against pryor or Armstrong at 135 the pressure combined with power would see a similar fight to that of the chavez fight at 140lbs. these two are the only two i a sure would stop him

berg would be a tough fight for both but i personally see berg also swarming him but berg and whitaker are the two lightest puchers on my short list and would of course not have the power of the other fighters mentioned

whitaker of course would not swarm camacho but i think would out point him in a at times dull fight


canzoneri i think to be all round to skilled for camacho and may even stop him late i do not think lightly of camacho ,he was a very skilled fast operator

ross would be a very good fight but i think ross had a better left than camcho and better power.

also i am looking at these fights to be 15 round contest's

of course you may well disagree which is all good youre opinions are as good as anyone else's :good

 

Dont tell me you're a former world champ like Nallege.

how can anyone argue with someone who thinks camacho is top five at 135 and 140 cause he had fast hands and a good chin,it just cant be done.

 

Camacho was great at 130 but doesn't even belong in a discussion about the great Lightweights. 140 is a relatively new division but he certainly wouldn't feature in a top 5 there either.

 

I very much enjoyed watching him at 130 - lightning-fast hands, good power and good skills.

Even though he kept his hand-speed, I don't think he was ever as impressive at 135 and upwards. He just never did enough at those weights to convince me he could live with the best fighters who've fought in those divisions.

It is a little unfortunate that his best days are largely forgotten and he seems to be best remembered for his losses though.

 

^^^ This. If you were saying 130 pounds, I might agree he is around top 5, but probably more like top 10-15. I would have to really look at the list of fighters from that weight class to make a real decision though. However, nobody will deny that Camacho was great at 130 pounds.

Up above those weights at 135 and 140 though? I don't think so, not top 5 anyways.


Although I agree with the other posters here Bladerunner: You should lighten up, seriously. If the guy does not know, educate him. Don't need to be a douche bag about it like he stole your lunch money.
