    I would say Camacho by UD. although the way Chavez dominated Camacho in 1992 makes it hard to say it, but probably Hector.

    Hec looked brilliant against a certain level of fighter but just didnt carry that form into fights against the next level.

    I think he does a lot better...and it would probably be pretty close but I think he unravels down the stretch. Chavez just was a terrible matchup for him and I dont think a less polished Julio is any less equipped to eventually get on top of Hec...he would walk him down and bust him up down the stretch.

    I dont see it being a whitewash on the cards though..I do see Camacho doing better and winning rounds with his speed, just not enough.

    I say Camacho by UD as well. Young Hector far too speedy.

    I would say Camacho gets a UD at 130. But at 135 i favor Chavez with a UD, just not as one sided as their 92 fight at 140.

    Camacho wins EVERY ROUND here. Chavez never lays a glove on him

    Chavez was better than Camacho. Chavez was a world champion in 84 having stopped Mario Martinez. Camacho was pretty green himself. He looked awesome against a fading Bazooka Limon but Chavez ain't Limon. I see a very tough fight in '84.

    Chavez wins. Camacho, would make it difficult at this weight, but he just doesn't have enough pop to deter Chavez.

    Over 15 rounds, chavez 144-141.

    Camacho is a fragile *****, and won't beat Chavez no matter where they fight.

    Chavez by wide UD... again.

    I to have my doubts about Camacho ever beating Chavez.. Even if there was a time when he might have barely squeaked out a win, the time frame would have been very short, as both these men had exceptionally long careers, and Chavez would have won throughout about 95% of the duration.

    I will say though, that calling Hector a " fragile ***** " is taking things a bit far. He was never stopped in something close to like 90 fights. He took tremendous punishment from Chavez in their actual meeting, and even left Julio saying that " he was one tough son of a *****, for a guy who was supposed to be feminine. "

    Dont think his necessarily is talking about his durability magoo...Mentally fragile is what he means I imagine.

    Hector's competitive spirit took a bit of a hit when he was under the pump.

    That could very well be the case, but in all fairness, the man fought at the word class level for a rather long period of time, was never stopped, and lost only 5 times in 87 bouts to some real p4p greats.. He might have had mental issues, but so do a lot of fighters.. Not saying that he was tough in an all around sense, but he sure as hell was no " fragile *****. "

    I never liked camacho, his southpaw style and in and out but in retrospect he had fast hands decent power and good legs. I just favor a guy that goes in and makes a fight. Chavez went in to make a fight and although he was not a one-shot guy he had power and wore you down. I see the work rate and body-work of Chavez pulling out a decision but its a close UD for Julio
