    Would the Professor teach Hector a thing or two about machismo? Would Nelson set a fight ending trap? Would Camacho dance circles around his opponent and constantly baffle him with his hand speed?

    Would weight class make a difference?

    At 130, Camacho by decision, same as 135, but Azumah will have his moments.

    Hector befuddles the professor with moves not seen since the prime of Pep

    Hector could hardly befuddle Cornelius Boza Edwards.

    Nelson would stalk him all night long and make him VERY uncomfortable.

    Both Camacho and Nelson have had performances to suggest their vulnerabilities to each others' style but I'd probably go with Nelson to pull out a close decision.

    I'm not a Camacho fan at all but I don't think Nelson could catch him at 130. Camacho was very, very good at that weight. I'll give Camacho the decision at 130. Pick'em at 135.

    If you take Camacho at 130 you'd have to take him at 135 pre Rosario. His schooling of Ramirez was particularly impressive.

    Yeah, I'm probably guilty of thinking of Camacho post Rosario and even of the Camacho who fought Rosario. I'm thinking the Professor might be able to catch up to that version.

    p.s. JT, I was surprised to see you holding a Coke in your picture. I know you have some damn fine beer down under!!
