I know one of the fighters he did not care for was Hector Macho Camacho, because in their 1986 fight, all he did was run, post Rosario fight.
here you go BEST JAB Alexis Arguello: He was taller than most of the guys I fought and, as you can see later on in his career, his reach was tremendous and he used it. He had very long arms and it was always difficult to hit him clean. It was a heavy jab. BEST DEFENSE Hector Camacho: I’d watched him many times and thought he had no defense, but he was very quick on his feet and difficult to hit cleanly. BEST FOOTWORK Camacho: He was on his toes, so quick in and out. He was very elusive. I remember in Round 6 my feet were blistered because I was so busy chasing him. BEST HANDSPEED Camacho: Hector had quick hands and so did Bobby Chacon. Hector had the quick feet to go with it. Bobby stood there and tried to exchange. “Bazooka” Limon realized he was losing the fight, so he picked up the pace with his handspeed in Round 8 all the way to the 14th. Of those three, Hector I would say [is fastest]. SMARTEST Arguello: We took the fight at short notice but I was a lot younger. That was my first major fight in the United States. I thought I had the quickest hands and reflexes, but I was fighting an all-time great. He was able to hit me with uppercuts, left hooks, the same stuff I would use to hit other people with. He was too advanced. STRONGEST Rolando Navarrete: Rolando was short, looks small, but he’s physically strong. I found that out in the ring. I thought I’d beat the crap out of him, but you’re looking at a miniature [Manny] Pacquiao. Those Filipinos have legs like tree-trunks. He was the strongest in terms of strength and hitting power. You push him off and he’s not going anywhere. Jose Luis Ramirez was strong too. BEST CHIN Arguello: He didn’t budge [laughs]. Welcome to the big league. BEST PUNCHER Arguello: Bobby Chacon had dropped me, he had surprising attacks. Just when you think you’re going to have him out of there, he’s bleeding all over the place – bang – you’re on the canvas and the referee is counting. Lightning shots that you don’t expect. With Bobby and Alexis, you don’t see them. It’s like a trigger; you think you’re going to shoot and – bang – they shoot before you shoot. I would say Alexis because even though I didn’t go down, you could feel the impact – he hit me with some good uppercuts. BEST BOXING SKILLS Arguello: He had the height, his hands up, he would catch your jab and he would come over the top with a right hand, back with the left hook or uppercut. Hector wasn’t bad, he was quick. Bobby Chacon was very deceiving. Bazooka Limon, they were wild punches, you could see them and you tried to block them. Ramirez was difficult, he was methodical, like a tank, you could read him; not fancy stuff. BEST OVERALL Bobby Chacon: I would say Bobby, we fought twice. I beat him the first time, it seemed so easy. The second time, I think I won the fight and I didn’t get the decision. There’s good names in there like Jose Luis Ramirez, Alexis Arguello and people will say they were better fighters than Bobby Chacon but the difference is I prepared. I didn’t prepare that good with Alexis Arguello and Jose Luis Ramirez. I knew months in advance the [Chacon] fight was on. You have two, or three months prior to prepare. Those guys are better fighters than Bobby Chacon but prior to fighting them I did not prepare.
I know, I read Mr. Magoos post, but watch the post fight interview, Boza said all he did was run, this was after the fight against Edwin Rosario on June 13 1986, the Edwards vs Camacho bout was in Sept 1986.
Chacon over Arguello !! Didn't see that coming, not sure his reasoning was sound though, because he didn,t prepare apparently, I suppose he goes on to say they ( Alexis and Jose ) were better fighters in the end. Sure did like Boza, followed him all through the amateurs, he was a very aggressive fighter, always giving value, one of the few southpaws that I didnt mind watching ( along with, Hope, Nevile Cole, and my all time fav Dave Willaims ) yea good ole times back then.
CBE says strongest are Filipino with tree trunk legs. Many Filipino have fought in Aust and most have developed there core strength from chores like carrying water bucket's on poles on hills over long distance's and like Joe Louis did carrying blocks of ice on his back and Ray Mercer carrying a M60 on duty because he was the biggest in his platoon.
