    Camacho should have been an ATG. He had that kind of talent. He was the very personification of the saying "Speed Kills". In his prime before the Rosario fight (which he won), he was on the level of Mayweather and RJJ in terms of talent. Rosario took his heart and ruined a great fighter.

    rosario tagged him and he looked out on his feet.and just ran and ran and ran...somthing he was very good at.

    it reminds me the forrest-mosley headbutt that changed mosley from this speedy combo throwing destroyer to a pure jab and move boxer.

    but what about stopping power...

    comacho had almost no pop even some light hitters like pernell had some great knockouts and he wanst a powerpuncher at all. but this guy was all lightning and no thunder.

    anyways it's still amazing how quick he was at the higher wieghts.

    true but power does the damage.floyd is a hard puncher at lightwiehgt and superfeather he was the truth...to say that comacho who even though has faster hand and a faster mover...but floyd is a big puncher at these wieghts. his right hand and left hook i feel will win him the fight.
    im not a floyd fan but i think floyd has just as many advantages as comacho.

    floyd is taller ,hits harder, a prolific counterpuncher ,has fast hands with a longer reach.

    comacho will win some rounds but floyd takes this


    oh yea no pop?...:good
