Camacho and Leonard: Shades of Jealousy

Camacho was not a clean living man. He was into that 80's coke scene. He could never live up to the image of Ray. Hes a dick too if you ever meet him.

 

I agree, he's deff scum, i met him back in 90 at the Hilton the day before the Chavez/Taylor 1 fight, he did'nt give a **** about anyone around him period, totaly oblivious. Pushing/shoving/screaming at the bar staff/card dealers/punters ect, did'nt give a flying **** who he offended, he thought it was hilarious.

 

Emphasis on "just about".

 

He's a hard guy to nail down for an interview despite having the proclivity for talking. Do you remember when he broke down on network television after a win? He started crying during a post fight interview with Jim Lampley.....telling the world he had no friends and just wanted to be liked.

Are you describing Hector Camacho or the typical macho New Yorker?

 

To true!

I've got alot of family who live in NY, jeezus, have they ever suffered when they've been over here:yep

On one occasion one of my cousins just shoved his way to the bar (Again) at my local boozer, he'd been politely warned about his lack of manners & a few fellers approached me & asked me if this yank was with me, Yeh, it's OK, leave him alone, i'll sort him out & when i went for a **** he still had to go & chat someone else's girl up. I just heard the screams after some feller head-butted him then battered him, ****in hilarious, I stopped him getting a real serious kickin, he was so upset about being head-butted, that ai'nt fair he squealed, what i do??? as i pushed him into a taxi too send him to the Hospital:rofl I went back in for another beer:smoke

 

Great comment.:good:good

 

No surprise there as he really was a classless dick.

 

I personally thought Cubanito Perez and "Chapo" Rosario,as well as Duran,were robbed against him.

 

Well, one does tend to play into another, and if he was oblivious to his actions one would hope he'd tie the two matters in together with a little self review. The whole breakdown with Lampley came out of nowhere and made me laugh. The irony of that episode was not lost upon me given his "macho" pretenses.

 

Seconded.

Irleis Perez would have been a champion if it wasn't for all those damned allergies of his. (He came close against Jimmy Paul anyway.) I've rarely seen somebody's knees buckle early from a body attack the way Cubanito buckled Camacho's. For the rest of the match, all Hector did was rush in with a few jabs followed by a clinch. Perez seemed so much bigger and stronger than Camacho. As fast as Hector was, their bout suggested to me that he could find himself in a great deal of difficulty when dealing with superior physical strength. A rematch between these two would have been interesting.

I remember a writer at the time (Farhood?) cautioning that if Hector didn't manage his behavior better that he'd become "Sonny Liston with a smile." (Translation: Camacho needs his Ritalin.)

 

Well put.

 

Well put,too.
