    Chacon was champ, you fight who's the champion.

    Like I said in my post that you responded to Red, I consider it unconformed until I see a source.

    The real bobby chacon didnt accept trash talk from anybody, he would have fought hector cuz of that, but then i dont blame him, it would have been worse than the boza fight. I dont think Chacon wanted to see his face get turned into burger meat.

    Ramirez didn't have speed of punch, just heavy hands. Pendleton and Mayweather were both quicker than Ramirez. If Pendleton and Mayweather could find Pernell's chin, I'm positive they'd find Camacho's. And once they do, and once Camacho runs and holds, he could drop a decision, just like I and the majority of scribes felt Camacho did to Rosario :good

    Chacon wasn't champ, he moved up to fight Mancini for more money and acclaim. How come Camacho wasn't saying the same things to Mayweather? Because Mayweather was young, acclaimed and streaking?

    Mayweather is always vulnerable, even pernell whitaker of all people had the power to hurt him.

    Roger is the epitome of glass jaw, his is even worse than terry norris's.

    And? It's not like Camacho had power like the guys who did stop Mayweather to stop him. Camacho would most likely hurt him, but I see Mayweather hurting Camacho too, and then it would become interesting.

    You never subscribed to "Definitely True Gym Tales"? You missed out mate. It came out in 1983-1986. At the back of the last issue it says- 'Coming next week- the middlweight that starched Tim". But it went bust as it had debts that began when the publishers put money into the Holmes-Coetzee fight. Great mag, it's where I read about Banana Sam giving Dempsey a good hiding.


    Alas, all the copies are missing now though, rumour has it they were last seen in the sports bag of the captain of the Exxon Valdez...so if they're ever to be retrieved they're at the bottom of the sea in Alaska, full of crude oil. Although there were sightings of a deep sea diver in the area around that time. So he's the only man with the info....hey, wait a minute...surely....not....? :shock:

    Yeah, seeing Hector's ballbag implode after he gets hit hard is pretty amusing :good

    Look, the kind of fighters you're talking about Hector would never even give consideration to. He didn't need this kind of fight; Pendleton, Mayweather-a sort of training bra for boxers like Chavez. Understand this is perfectly acceptable for people like Pernell having to build experience. But Hector was much more advanced at the early stage and could simply skip over the swill and head for the top guy.

    People didn't realize at the time leonard's weaknesses as a fighter which were overlooked in the Hearns fight and resurfaced once again.


    Leonard was shot dead by this time.
