    Paul, Coverson, Perez, Limon, Solis, Ramirez, Rosario, Boza-Edwards, Davis Jr, Pazienza and Haugen. It was actually only 11, the other two (that I should not of counted) wins were against Leonard and Mancini who credited as Champions but neither were top 10 fighters at the time of Camacho's win over them, ditto Duran.

    I need 50 posts to send a PM brownpimp, so I have to respond here.

    I had my account deleted actually, which is why I have to start from scratch, and why all of my previous posts are erased from existence, such as ones in this very thread, as you'll see on the first page. Why was it deleted? Your guess is as good as mine, probably corrupt mods.

    When he was young, Camacho was incredible, and I could not stand him! He was an ATG and I think he'd give anyone a serious run when he was prime. He was the most underachieving ATG that I can think of. If he had his head screwed on right, I think he could have been a top tier ATG, mentioned with the SRR's, Ali's, Louis's, and the Whitaker's of the world. What a talent he was.

    This guy was the biggest underachiever with the talent that he had, he should have had more disciplined and could have been one of the very best of all time but he never had anyone who could control him.
