    Lets put them in at 135. Macho had just come off a superb schooling of Ramirez. Mayweather had just stopped Ndou. Who ya got?

    Floyd by decision in a chess-match type of a fight.

    I think it would resemble Mayweather-Judah. After early difficulties, Mayweather adapts to his speed in the first half of the fight and ends up pulling out a clear decision win.

    Guys, there is ZERO comparison between a Prime Camacho and a Prime Zab, they are worlds apart really. A prime Macho man could very well take a points win against May.

    Floyd will have to work for this one but eventually he gets the W.Floyd counter punching skills being the difference.

    Even vote so far. It would be interesting to see how Floyd's brilliant countering skills went against one of the fastest boxers in history.

    I do not like Floyd's shoulder roll defense against a southpaw with handspeed like this. I like that defense against conventional fighters a lot more than the southpaws. Nazarov was another guy that is a tough tough match for Floyd.

    I just think Floyd is not going to land much of anything on a guy like Camacho and whatever he does land has zero effect. He might land 6 clean punches all night. Everything else is deflected or slipped. And Hector let those hands go. His volume of punches is twice that of Mayweather and he'll flurry and shoeshine his way to a decision.

    Floyd by close decision 7-5 I'd say.

    People underestimate how fast the Macho Man was. It would be close, but Hector would pull it out.

    at 130, where BOTH were at their best, Camacho runsthe ringside arpound Mayweather. Yes, at 130, Hector was that good.Fastest fighter I ever saw. He may even get the KO in 15
