Yeah, if he went the distance with Chavez, DLH and Tito when past his prime, then there's no doubt about it, Hector gets stopped in his prime by the pot shot king.
Hector was the man at those weights, though Howard Davis Jr, Ray Leonard, Bernard Taylor, and Meldrick Taylor give him a run for quickness, however.
you summed it up perfectly. at 130, hector is a nightmare for anyone. he is definitely the fastest fighter i have seen, and put together hellacious combinations at that weight. not pitty pat ones. unfortunately his bad habits got the better of him. he could have been one of the all time great ones.
I would love to see footage of this guy in his prime -- the only thing I can remember finding on youtube is that match with Rosario, and we all know what happened to him there. That's all I've seen of him.
actually not. camacho beat a much better class of fighter than pbf. although gifted with great talent, pbf has no true resume to speak of. and no handpicked oponents for 5 titles does not equal a great resumes
Camacho was something else, he had the fastest I've ever seen(that includes Taylor), and also had incredible footwork, and a solid rock chin. BTW There's no way in hell PBF TKO's Hector. but it would've been quite a fight.
Camacho's downfall was his outside the ring parties. He was the most undiciplined boxer. I was like 14 years old in his prime and I remember a lot of people talking how they were at the club partying and Camacho was there (always) drunk and high.
Comacho was one of the first fighters I really hated. Man, I wanted Boom Boom to **** him up. :twisted: But there's no denying his talent back in his day.
the round that changed his stlye... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwQMoj0sebM chavez whooped on both and still gets not cred.....
