Besides getting embarrassed by Chavez, DLH, and Trinidad.. and beating a washed up SRL, Duran twice.. and getting smacked by him during a press conference, how good was Hector 'El Macho' Camacho? How does he rank amongst ATG's, if being ranked at all?
camacho was never a great. he was talented but fed off lower tier fighters and got his ass handed to him when he stepped it up.
A naturaly gifted fighter, with great speed and reflexes. I would of loved to of seen a fight between him and "Sweet Pea" Whitaker.
Very Very quick. That's really all that pops into my mind when I think about him, other than his son not being up to much cop.
extremely good movement and ring smarts, never stopped even fighting like at super middleweight, just not quite enough pop to beat prime hungry "great" guys. Better than guys like Malignaggi, who is a poor poor man's camacho (tough, good speed and defense, etc). He was definitely great, because when you put him in against a non-great he usually won with little effort and would even go for the KO at the higher weights, but he would go into survivial mode against guys like Oscar and Tito and Chavez ... and he DID survive. very fast hands, a bit of wasted talent, and his style changed after he got hurt for the first time in his career.
