    Giardello would top Camacho. Class always wins out. Giardello had class, Camacho had none.

    This would not be competitive.

    i believe it would be competitive and camacho could give giardello fits with his different angles and southpaw style.could be a good fight. not a battle but a strategic fight from both participants.

    Camacho was nowhere near his prime when he fought at middleweight. His best years were at junior lightweight and lightweight. Giardello would handle this one easily.

    The difference in size is massive.Camacho was really a lightweight at best.

    Wasn´t Camacho a lightweight in his prime? I can´t see a past his prime former lightweight beating Joey Giardello. None, not even a Roberto Duran.
