    Duran won the first one. I dont know abou the second becuz I never saw it

    prime for prime agaist Hector at his fastest of 130 I would go with Duran over Camacho which is the next best thing to Benny Leonard becuz of Hector's speed, left handedness, & scientific wizardry

    Cubanito Perez proved early on that Hector didn't like it to the body much [while Ali exulted in it during the first Chuvalo bout] and Duran would have given him plenty downstairs. Antuofermo [among others] liked to say, "They're only southpaws until you get 'em inside!" Roberto actually seemed to enjoy being hit when younger, and Camacho never had the power to hurt him. I believe Hector would make it to the final bell [never was stopped], but the win for El Cholo would be so conclusive even the judges couldn't credibly justify scoring it against him, even in Bayamon.

    I was pretty suprised at the time that Camacho got the decision in the first bout. Duran won the fight.

    Ive never seen either of their fights but I hyave a question.....wouldnt it have made more sense that the public want to see Duran and Leonard instead?

    From what I remember, fight #4 was planned for Sydney, Australia in 93-94.....
