    Folks,

    Like Hector Camacho or not, he has had a successful boxing career and sports a respectable boxing record..... He is also a former TWO division WBC champion at 130 & 135 pounds, and also a belt holder of titles' like the WBO and IBC in other divisions later in his career....... Has he done enough since turning pro in 1980 to be a Hall of Famer?
    :huh:good:deal

    Yes. But I guess most people under 30y/o will not think so. But for those of us who got to see him at his prime, I say yes! And he was a real showman too. He brought a lot of new fans to boxing with all his crazyness.

    I agree......... I'd vote for Camacho all the way.......:good:thumbsup

    MR.BILL:deal

    Note:

    When Camacho beat the **** outta a fading 29 year old Bazooka Limon in 1983, Camacho was the fastest dude I have ever seen shy of Bruce Lee...... WORD!

    Yes HOF in and out of the ring, his skills and PERSONALITY brought attention to the lighter weights.

    Maybe if it was the drag queen Hall of Fame. Camacho was vastly overrated. What's his biggest wins? A win over a shopworn Leonard? A gift decision against an ancient Duran? A gift decision against Rosario in which he ran all night? Not to mention he was beaten to a pulp against De La Hoya, Trinidad and Chavez. Sorrry, but he hasn't done enough to warrant an induction.
