Is Hector Camacho overrated?

Camacho KO'd lightweight John Montes in just over a minute with a single left uppercut. He also KO'd Rafael Solis.

No-one is saying Camacho is a banger but he is a bigger man than Nelson and hit respectably when he wanted to. Nelson wasn't a huge banger and was lighter than Camacho.

Peak Camacho would have comfortably outboxed Zoomah at 130 and there's no chance Nelson would have stopped him.

 

I’d actually say that a younger version of Hector outpoints Chavez at, both 130, and 135.

 

No way. Their respective fights vs Rosario tells me all i need to know.

 

Have you ever seen how stick-like David Tua's legs were, Bronze?

 

The poster mentioned how hard it is for him to believe that people pick Camacho over Mayweather in fantasy fights ...my point is that Floyd has never faced anyone like Camacho....if that went over your head I’m sorry

 

Mayweather beat more southpaw champions (past, present, and future) than anyone I’m aware of and beat a guy who washed Camacho.

Class that one under wishful thinking.

 

Just because you beat a lot of southpaws doesn’t mean you beat them all.....Zab Judah and Sharmba Mitchell are nothing like Hector Camacho

 

Beat a guy who washed Camacho? He was way past his prime when Oscar fought him

 

I never said I pick Camacho to beat Floyd ...but guy said it was laughable that people do ...it’s not.....and that’s on Floyd

 

You mean past prime like when Money beat a southpaw who was better than Camacho?

 

Manny Pacquiao is a better fighter than Hector Camacho...this is true

 

What about the Camacho who fought Ramirez and Boza?

 

Nelson was a huge puncher and better than anybody Camacho beat, maybe including Rosario.

 

Oh, Lord, No. Julio was so much better at those weights than at 140. I think Julio gets the stoppage. But who know... Hector had a great set of whiskers and a lot of pride.

 

That has no bearing on it. Triangulation doesn't work in boxing.
