    Who wins and how?

    We know what happened when the two met in 1997. And while Leonard was considered as totally shot, Camacho was far from his prime either. Anyway, how it would end 6 years earlier?

    I'm not sure why you choose '91 as neither had anything left from their peaks then either, Ray getting clobbered by Terry Norris and Hector not looking much better then a shop worn Duran. Ray wouldn't get hurt in this bout as he did with Norris and all things considered they were about an equal lousy at this point. Ray on points in a very close fight.

    Prime for prime? I'd go with Leonard. In 1991? Probably Camacho on points. While neither were at their best by the time the 90's came around, Hector still had ridiculous speed. Leonard was basically a shell of his former self.

    Both men were way over the hill by 1991. Leonard more so. That's why I go for Camacho via decision.


    Prime for prime - Leonard easily

    even tho Hector lost to that bum Haugen, Ray had problems with speedy boxers.

    Hector was on his way out no doubt but Ray still had a good deal left so I dont know :think

    it all depends on Hector's frame of mind. If he really wants to, he gets Leonard out of there, otherwise, Hector by comfortable decision

    and I dont have to tell you what the 87 version does to same year Leonard. What he did to buddy Howard Davis, he gives the same treatment to Leonard (fresh off a surprising win over a shot Hagler)

    Haugen beat Camacho in 1991, and won the rematch as well, but was ripped offf..

    So if this answers your question , if Haugen beats him, im pretty confident Leonard could too, :deal..

    1991 Leonard still had a lot more in the tank than 1997 Leonard , in 1997 Leonard was in cozy LA, sipping champagne everynight living the dream like a movie star, he was soft and didn't care about fighting anymore, he just wanted one last payday...

    Doubt Leonard could make 47 in 91. If he did he'd be real weak.
