Is Hector "Macho" Camacho worthy of IBHOF induction?

He still lost almost every round and went the distance with every legend not just Trinidad, but he went 12 rounds 3 years later against DLH and with a list that is very long as well before that. Of course Camacho would be a HOF. Just like Mayweather, his personality is what people dislike, but at then end of the day Camacho accomplish a lot even through the circumstances he had outside his life. He brought entertainment to the sport of boxing and just like Manny, believe it or not if you combine his minor belts with major belts he is also a 7 weight division champ.

 

I think he definitely belongs in the HOF. Not to down anyone but Mancini is in and he beat Mancini. I know that's not how it goes but he was a very difficult fighter to fight. The big fights that he did lose were against future HOFers.

 

WELL...JUST LET ME CHANGE MY CARD...Compubox!!! LOL Try watching the fight and making your own decision!!!

 

Camacho was pretty good in his lightweight days and worthy of HOF. He beat a who's who of the 80's and most of the top lightweights of the day not named Chavez.

 

IMO. yes!

 

He recently snap a draw against Campas, Camacho was 8 years older

 

yes, but the reason I gave this dude lot of credit is because he still went 12 rounds at against future greats who's in their 20's. You can try to survive for 12 rounds but without great experience and technique you wouldnt survive against prime de la hoya and trinidad. Trinidad was 22 wins with 19 KO prior to that fight.

It's unfair to pointing his lopside lost against tito and de la hoya and ignoring his age while we always defend Chavez, Leonard, Ali or even Tyson who's losing also in their 30's

prime age vs prime age only chavez dominated him, that was after 10 years without losing a match (saved greg haugen controversial win which he avenged)

yes, he's 7 weight division champ but 4 of them are minor Titles, however he still won 3 major titles in 3 different class so he deserved to be in HOF.

 

i first started paying attention to the sport because of him

 

For sure! He is definetly more deserving than quite a few already in.

 

i am not a camcho fan by any stretch of the imagination. but anyone who thinks he does not belong needs to stop watching this sport. his accomplishments speak for themselves.
