    I like the Macho Man to pull out a close decision.

    Camacho of 1990 beats Tszyu of 2000 at 140 pounds on points.... Camacho would still be able to make 140 with ease and his speed would be insane....

    I have Camacho schooling Vinny Paz in 1990 at 140 off PPV on tape......

    Tszyu is obviously stronger and more powerful, but he'd be a step or two too slow and lose on points to Camacho......

    Camacho was weak at 140 by 1992, and it showed against Chavez.....

    If Camacho performed at his best, he could win. I don't think he would though. At 140 (and above), I remember him largely being an underachiever considering his talent. He always had the total package to be a legit all-timer on any given night. The speed, the skill, a damn fine chin, not a big puncher at 140 but I think maybe possessing some underrated sting. To me, it feels almost unfair to Tszyu to pick Camacho over him at 140. I'm going to say probably prime Tszyu would take it and Camacho would underwhelm and be a little too much the survivalist against a guy with expert timing and one wicked mother of a right.

    Tszyu via wide UD against a Camacho in strict survival mode.

    It would be a Camacho-Rosario replay - a fight I thought Rosario won. More or less even in terms of rounds with Tszyu notching a few 10-8's to distinguish it.

    Tszyu. He would win a decision easily enough. Hector didn't do much after 135.

    Tyszu times him, breaks him to the body and makes Camacho fight a fight he doesnt want, probably while backpeddling

    Not only does Camacho get more credit than he should, but Tszyu seems to be the guy that can't get the nod in any fantasy fight at all. I even recall him losing the poll in a thread about a Judah rematch. Someone pointed out in that thread, to my great amusement, that Tszyu can't even win a fantasy match he won in real life.

    Camacho wins close decision. Not true about KT losing every fantasy fight. KT would clean out the 140 champs of today. I believe he would beat Pac too.

    By my count this thread has him 9-3 if it's assumed you're picking him. 9-3 over Camacho...I think he's winning, mate.
