    Camacho speed is a different level than Mayweather, and despite the talent Roger has, would not be a threat after the 5th round. Camacho by 9th round stoppage.

    I agree he beats Mayweather.

    But, Limon was shot by the time Hector fought him.

    The WBC screwed Bobby Chacon.

    Camacho would have beaten Chacon, too, though.

    Roger could really hit with the right hand. But, yes, Rosario hit harder.

    None of this relates to a Camacho/Mayweather matchup in their 130 lb. primes. LOL.

    I always saw someone like Roger being trouble for Hector. That right down the middle and with his speed. He was a poor mans Hearns, which for Camacho would have been terrible. He could not avoid the right all night usually. But who knows. Especially at 140 for Camacho.

    Both are thin on the ground at 130 yes.

    Serrano was one of those ordinary WBA politics champions and he never really beat anybody.

    Limon was the title holder at the time and the fight with Chacon was the fight of the year. He was top 5 or so in a strong division and coming off a decent performance against another top contender. Camacho made him look extremely ordinary in a fantastic performance. Limon was chugging away in his normal way for a while but Camacho just bedazzled him. His win over Ramirez tops anything Roger did at any weight.

    The mags were pushing hard for that fight yes. That was before they realised Roger had a glass jaw. There wasn't much excitement after that.
