    How would he have done against his mutual opponents with Pernell Whitaker then ? Ramirez , Chavez , DeLaHoya , Trinidad , Haugen .
    Supposing of course all of their opponents and Whitaker were all born by d time they were . Only Camacho's age changes in this scenario .

    So basically a peak Camacho? The fastest fighter anyone has ever seen. He fought with some fire in those earlier years. He was a phenomenal talent.

    He dominates Greg Haugen. Haugen doesnt lay a glove on him. He might stop him on accumulation of stinging bees.

    I think Hector couldve taken a decision over Oscar DelaHoya at the lighter weights. I am not sold on Oscar at those lighter weights.

    Chavez? Tough call. I think Id still take Julio Cesar Chavez because at some point he is going to hurt him to the body at least and later on break him down.

    Trinidad? I cant say because Tito was so much bigger. He wasnt really the fighter we know until he reached 147lbs.

    Sweet Pea? Well Pernell was more skilled. He had the greater defense and he was a good bodypuncher himself and he threw alot of punches.

    I dont know I think its a stinker that goes the distance. Edge Whitaker.

    He schools Haugen and Ramirez, would edge out Oscar below 140lbs, loses to Trinidad (too much size disadvantage for Hector), he loses to peak versions of Chavez and Whitaker.

    Whitaker IDK , there's anoher thread about it , except that here Camacho gets d youth advantage over Whitaker , as opposed 2d disadvantage he was put in that said thread . but if Camacho was born in 1966 , Chavez would not have been prime by d time Camacho would have gotten 2 him . He wouldn't have fought Chavez prior 2 1991 , because he (Camacho) would have still been a lightweight until then . Camacho might have been still past his prime even then according 2 his fans here , but still 4 years younger than Chavez , and taking in2 account that he would have probably wanted 2 test d water @ 140 with some1 other than Chavez , it wouldn't have happened prior 2 1992 , maybe even a year after . Maybe Chavez still wins , maybe then d excuse would have been that he had 2 much experience 4 Camacho at that point but then I don't think so because by then Camacho would have been a former 2 weights titlist already .
