Hector Camacho vs. Manny Pacquiao

Camacho befuddles him at 130. It's much closer at 140.

 

x2

 

I don't know yet..I'll have to sit on the fence till I make up my mind...I can say that it would be a hell of a fight..

 

Camacho is just too quick of a ****er at 130. If he does happen to get caught, he can take what's being dished. It'd be highly competitive and as much as I'd hate to say it, Pac's inability to cut the ring off would be his downfall. Camacho by a split.

At 140, Pacquiao decisions him clearly.

 

I agree....... A young Camacho can match Packy with hand and foot speed... Between 130 to 140 its too close to call.... A Camacho win is likely.....

Camacho was good defensevely because he was so fast and later on safety first.. But he really didnt have any slick or deft ,technichian, like moves.... Camachols speed oombos were his bigh strength, but Marquez was a much better boxrer and smarter.. Thats why Camacho never fought fellow speed demons(except Howard Davis who was more gun shy than a older Camacno) because he wouild be not all that hard to figure out... Stick and move , dart inside and flurry(in his prime) that was basically his whole game.... That is why he got tagged clean more in his later years, when he his speed faded al litttle... Notice guys like Whittaker,Toney,Hopkins,Mayweather dont have to be on the move do be slick.. I think a prime Camacho does well early winning rounds and suprises Pac with decent pop in his punches...But Pac was as fast afoot to get to Macho, and hed hurt him and land his share.. Camacho would just turn Post rosario that much quicker, hed be on his bike run hold pac to a losing decision.. Would be a shame though cause he would be wining up until around the 5th round... Pac maybe scores a kd along the way to seal the deal.... 115=112 Pac by decision.,

 

At 140 no way:nono Camacho was a good fighter still but no longer elite and just a shell of the pre Rosario 135 and Jl verision.. At 140 Camacho was just a little bit better verison of Malinaggi.. Although somewhat faster and hit harder than Paulie... This is would be pacs best weight hes fought at by far... Similar beat down to what Chavez did,except theres a good possiblility Manny might be the first to stop him... That verison of Chavez threw just as much as pac and cut the ring off much better,, However manny punches are coming from all angles,faster... Camacho would be living the Chavez nightmare all over., I think Chavez is the more punishing puncher than Pac, but Pac has the sharper ones the kind more likely to put you on the ass that you dont see... Although the older camacho fought like he was scared, but when he couldnt get away and took beatdown( Tito (not as bad as) Delahoya, and the worst one Chavez) he showed alot of heart, i dont see Pac laying him down for the count depending on the ref .. Pac by wide decision or late stoppage... Camanco would show flashes of his old self and maybe steal a couple of rounds.

 

Manny runs him out of the ring at all three weights ... Chavez exposed Camacho as highly limited ... not in Paq's class

 

Atthough i said some thing like that(speed being his main and primary weapon) in the other post... Camacho skills had slipped some by this time... This was 6 years after the Rosario fight... But yey i hear you even a washed up Mancini gave him trouble with his pressure... Camacho did box well in a clear decision over Prime Paz though, so he still had sommething left.

In all serioiusness at 140 id pick
Bradley
Kahn On a good day
Judah pickem or maybe edge to Zab
I even think Alexander gives him a close fight.

Jw was not Machos glory days.

 

NOTE!

Camacho was drained / weak at 140 come his '92 showdown with Chavez.... Camacho would've been much better off with Chavez in 1992 had the weights been set at 147....

Camacho was eating prune juice and ex-lax for Haugen back in 1991 cuz the HBO money was too good to pass by 2 X.... Camacho did the same for Chavez in 1992.....

Think back, Camacho fought Reyes Cruz at 147 as early as 1988.... Camacho was decked, but he showed his metal in getting up to win the dec... A tuff fight....

MR.BILLbbb:hat

The Camacho of 1983 to 1988 at 130 to 140 pounds was the goods.......

 

Just watch Camacho vs Trinidad. There's the answer.

 

Camacho is not as great as Pacquiao, and I'm not huge on Pacquiao right now, he's annoying the life out of me with his antics/fights he's taking.

 

Camacho is a lot faster, Camacho has top 3 or 5 fastest hands ever, whereas Pacquiao is a fast fighter (in terms of his pace and tempo), he moves nowhere near as fast as Camacho. Anyway, I favour Pacquioa because Camacho's game is to attack and then back out and Pac will be constantly attacking with many punches.

If anybody thinks there is a stoppage in favour of Pacquiao then they should watch gay porn instead of boxing.

 

Failed.atsch
