    Linares has been knocked out. Camacho never.
    Camacho also beat Howard Davis jr.
    It took TEN years for Camacho to taste defeat in the pros. Can Loma say the same?
    i didnt like the macho man when he was in his prime- but he was a hell of a fighter .
    Hector dropped steel chinned Rameriz on the way to winning his second title.
    i like Linares. Hes one of my favorite active boxers. But his chin isnt the best.
    against a PRIME Camacho hes getting stopped inside of 8.
    before the Rosario bout Hector had a mean streak and if he hurt you usually hed finish you.

    Howard Davis Jr would have been easily defeated by Linares and Camacho was very unimpressive vs Davis, this fight came after Rosario hurt Camacho and Camacho became a boring safety first fighter for the rest of his career, Camacho would have lost to Rosario after he was he was hurt but he ran for the rest of the fight and a lot of pundits felt Camacho lost that fight, I feel Loma would destroy Camacho the way Chavez did.

    The high guard style works best for boxers who like to feature straight punches.

    Does this style work best for certain weight classes? Here's one vote for likely.

    The extreme lower weights usually do not have very long arms, and the upper weights have less of an issue spitting the guard with power.
