    I've promised a few guys that I'd put up some footage of Camacho's fight against Ramirez (his best boxing dsplay imo) and so here it is.

    Sorry I didn't put up the whole fight, but just picture a lot of lateral movement in between and you'll know the story of the fight.

    Enjoy! :good

    Cheers mate. :good

    Looks like the fight came out a little bit out of synch with the audio unfortunately...

    ROFLAMO@Camacho calling out Larry Holmes after the fight. :rofl

    Great, now its time for a Micky Walker music video lol.

    We have plenty on Youtube for Marciano, Louis, Ali, and others.

    Time for Walker to get his due, all thats there is the training footage and the highlights. What song shoudl you used lol

    Pretty good, as a kid, I like Camacho, I always like the way he dress up in ring intros for fights, one time he dress up as a Indain, other times, something else.

    Fast, fast hands, hard to pin down, good power, I think he's a great and generally underated fighter. When focused, when up for the job in hand.

    Maybe I could condense the 30 mins of Walker-Loughran into a ten minute clip, whaddya reckon? :think Cut out the 20 mins of Walker chasing Loughran all around the ring :D

    Maybe some Ace Hudkins.

    Camacho was a crack up.

    Notice him calling out Sweet Pea when Pernell's only been a pro for 1 year? Still must be seething about that whipping in Kronk. :yep

    Lacked some of the intangibles of a great fighter, but he had some very nice skills when at the top of his game.

    Just of interest, did you have him beating Rosario?

    Thanks a lot man! :good

    Do you have footage of the Camacho-Rosario fight? I haven't seen that in a long time, and it would be much appreciated if you could put it up.

    Back in the 80's, he was a big star before he decline, the JJC fight was some amazing pre fight shows.

    I do have it, but I've got a pretty crappy internet connection and it would take me quite a while to upload the whole fight so I'd rather not, unless you desparately wanted to see it. It's definitely a fight worth seeing though, and scoring.

    Nah man, it's okay. Higlights would be fine with me if you could get anything up. But if you can't, it's all good.

    Arguably the fastest fighter in the last 30-35 years.I would've like to see how he could've done in a 15 round fight.
