Hector Camacho what might have been.

he was a very good fighter that was never stopped , but , i saw his fight with JCC and ask : what excuse did he have there ? same size , same age , same experience.
against bigger stronger opponents he was better than JCC , because he ran better and less tried to fight , but , against Greg Haugen JCC was much more impressing. in fact , pazienza achieved more against him. no disrespect for pazienza , on the contrary.

 

He would have always been underpowered as he moved up in weight. Great talent, but how many great fighters lacked discipline? Thats what separates them.

 

I used to think he was so greatand underachieved but looking back at his fights he never would have been great above 130. Helacked the power and diversity. Chavez beat the crap out of him and exposed a lot. Camacho called out that fight for years and was in shape. It exposed his lack of game.

 

It was all systems change for Hector after Rosario tickled his chops:smoke

 

Another Rooster/Larapistlover/Blanco-type poster.

Damn, this board is being swarmed.

 

Duranimal, so right . If one round changed a career it was when Edwin unloaded on Camacho. Kudos to Hector for surviving but he was never the Macho Man again.

 

Yes I wish people would understand-after the Rosario fight Camacho was done.Almost like Curry-Honeyghan.Sure they both fought numerous bouts after but they never came close to their previous form.

 

what do you want ? a man raises a question about a past fighter .
isn't that what the classic forum is for ?

 

yep didn't like getting hit much

 

What might have been? Didnt he win a world title? Last time I checked he won several and went unbeaten throughout the 1980s

 

:rofl

 

:d

 

After Rosario clocked him, was basically done for.Also, never fought Mayweather and Verderosa.

 

No its not.

Its one of the most common things in the world that someone lacks courage or discipline to harness there potential.

He accomplished alot in the sport, did well for himself, while appeasing the needs of his ego with his flamboyant style and wild-animal partying.

All-in-all Camacho is not complaining, I'll guarantee you that.
