    He has an argument for possibly the weakest titlist in the history of the division...There is probably someone as bad or worse but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

    None...absolutely none. This guy put the glass into "glass jaw.":yep

    Camacho just might knock him out. And he sucks.

    Camacho Jr. has more knockouts than Lewis has wins. :yep

    Well...I think maybe this comeback didn't happen and isn't going to. :???:

    Guyana is an hour ahead of the U.S. east coast, so it's approaching midnight there...and there are no updates on it anywhere online (including Twitter).

    Boxrec no longer lists the event at all (although they tweeted about it this morning)

    Camacho Jr. doesn't make any mention of it in recent posts on his Twitter page or his Facebook wall. What he does mention is that he's in training to headline a March 30th FNF bill against Elvin Ayala. :think

    He wasn't terrible by any means, and had some good qualities...

    It's just that with his chin and inability to protect it (and tendency to freeze up when hit square on it) he just seems a bit unlikely - and lucky, really - to have racked up a couple of wins in world title bouts. Especially when the first one was against a supposedly big puncher.

    Of course, Page was very flat that night and it's also possible he just wasn't really as good as people thought at the time. As for Marks...:yep Pretenders getting shots they don't deserve has always been a part of the sport.

    Conventional wisdom dictates that fighters become better after they win a title. In contrast, Lewis appeared to become much, much worse.

    In fairness, part of that might be due to the fact that he abandoned the ability he had to load up and land with awkward but effective power punches while circling around in awkward but effective fashion. After the Page demolition, it appeared that he decided to become more aggressive, and continued to do so even after the warning sign that Marks sent to him when the unheralded challenger actually stunned him during his first title defense.

    Ultimately, this proved costly, because he allowed Mayorga to draw him into trench warfare in both fights, and get blasted out in the process.

    From that point iti was all downhill for Six heads, and that's too bad, 'cause there was a point when he looked capable of becoming a serious player at 147...And because he did have one of the very best nicknames in the history of the sport.

    Well I mean he did take on Margarito and Mayorga in their most brutal forms and in their primes. Can't really blame him for getting kod by those 2.

    I asked Camacho about it, and he wrote me back:

    "No bro that fight is a no go! (Lucky for him!)"

    :yep

    I wonder if A6HL is going to forge ahead with his comeback anyway, now that the date with Camacho fell through. (Weird that it would have even been considered by Camacho's people in the first place...going down and risking a "Guyana decision " loss in a bout very likely to go to the cards with an infinitely more lucrative ESPN date with Ayala looming. Why bother with the risk? :think)

    I don't suppose we have any Guyanese posters? Any announcement of next plans or details on why Camacho didn't work out would be unlikely to make international news (and I've looked)

    I saw this matchup and almost died laughing. What a random matchup.
