    Camacho. His lateral movement would be the key.

    I really liked Camacho at 130, one of the fastest fighters that I have ever seen - Camacho by decision is my pick.

    Mayweather by the slimmest of margins, SD, THE busiest man wins! Because I don't see a stoppage here..

    close fight and Macho makes it hard because of his southpaw style, I think Floyd is faster and more accurate and a bit more consistent to take the nod

    Tough fight because Mayweather is the better fighter but matchup wise Camacho would pose a lot of problems. Judah gave Mayweather fits for 5 rounds and Camacho has both a better chin and better stamina than Judah.

    Damn good fight. Man, I don't know. Speed seemed to trouble Mayweather, and Camacho was lightning fast at his smaller weight.

    Camacho was the fastest man in the sport at 130/135 and don't see Floyd, despite his gifts, overcoming that. Camacho by decision.

    At the lighter weight, Camacho presents problems for Mayweather...but with that said, Money is very fast and accurate. I'd still take Mayweather by decision...and by wider margins as both increase in weight.

    I agree, the "busiest" man wins. But, there is no question that Camacho would be the busier fighter. Floyd may be good defensively, and accurate when he opens up, but, he has the work rate of a middle of the road heavyweight. And Floyd would be shocked to find that for the first time in his career, he is the slower man (of both hand and foot)

    Camacho by close (but clear) decision. 7-5 or 8-4.

    mayweather is mentally in a different league than Camacho. Camacho would win some early rounds, Mayweather would figure out what works, and take over the second half of the fight. We've seen Floyd do this many times against guys who physically match up well with him.

    No shame in picking Floyd as he is the overall better fighter, but he's certainly not faster than Camacho.

    The other thing is Mayweathers punches will have zero effect on Camacho if he does land.

    I think it's the other guy that responds to punches---as in Floyd reacting to getting hit far more than the macho man does.

    This fight would have an over/under like the Benetiz/Leonard fight 14.5 rounds. And still the over is the way to go.

    I disagree. Camacho was highly confident and solid mentally up until the Rosario fight.
