    nice to be optimistic...but you dont "pull through" being brain dead. he is basically dead right now except for machines. thats all that is keeping him alive.

    "His recovery would be a medical miracle," Rodríguez Mercado said, according to El Nuevo Día. "Nothing can be done for him."

    Prayers go out to the champ Hector "Macho" Camacho who was critically wounded in a drive by shooting in Puerto Rico.

    Reports are that he got shot in the shoulder and jaw so how is he brain dead? Now we are hearing if he makes it he will be paralyzed? I just hope he pulls through and gets better soon.

    "I think he could be a contender in any era. "I think that he would have been like a Manny Pacquiao. I think that he would have used his speed as his best asset. I think that he could be a contender in any era." said Freddie Roach

    "I'm sure that he is going to go down as one of the best of any era in the world. I mean, look at who he fought and look at how he fought. If he was around today, he would be among the top 10 out there." said Oscar De La Hoya

    "Camacho's toughest fights were outside of the ring, they really were. He fought against himself and the drugs and whatever else followed. Alcohol. That was his toughest battle, man" said Leonard

    Praying that he pulls through. Last i heard on ESPN, his family is deciding whether to pull him off life support!
