Larry Merchant on Hector Camacho......

I suppose that's one of the really great things about boxing, that truth really can be wilder than fiction.

 

No problem there Duodenum,

How can I compete with one who nicknames himself after a part of the body that is partially responsible for the production of crap. I'd say there's a certain amount of accuracy and merit to this particular alias as well, wouldn't you say DEEN?

And if you read my entire post, I clearly illuded to the fact that you might have been referring to Irleis Perez, but hey why let that stop you from making a good retort?

 

that's how awesome Hector was in those days and why I, like Ray Leonard, became such a big fan of macho man. His style was also the blueprint for success for another (future) hall of famer whose name is Pernell Whitaker. Maybe you've heard of him.

 

I never knew thats what it was for. Still, Duodenum does not lie and may have a collection fight larger than myself.

 

I'm not calling him a liar. Just a smart ass. And as for both your fight collections, well then good for both of you.

I prefer to jack off to porn as opposed to a grown man who marches into the ring with a gliddered robe and a tutu.

 

LOL!! Touche!

 

I think he's been low key and a major contributor to the forum.

 

Yes but Camacho wasn't a track star v Rosario. He got hit and hurt but kept boxing and firing off shots.

After that fight I don't believe he became a track star. Like I hate to say it but he wasn't doing no track meet against the bigger Leonard.

 

I have to hand to you, Bloss Man, you're the first one who's come right out and called me on the deliberate double meaning nature of my nom de guerre.
Touche'!ukke

 

Pun intended?

 

Why is Hector Camacho being trashed by the same people who praise Ray Leonard? Both were hit-and-clinch fighters! In fact, the Leonard gameplan against Hagler in 1987 was Camacho's standard operating mode! Leonard-Hearns after 12 rounds looked exactly like Chavez-Camacho after 12. Leonard fans ought to be singing Camacho's praises everyday on here. I swear, some days I laugh my ass off at the contradictory positions that fly around this place.

This is of course a problem for Redrooster, too, because he trashes Leonard while praising Camacho. There are differences, though. Camacho fought all the time, while Leonard towards the end only fought for well-orchestrated paydays. Camacho had the better chin and a better defense. Camacho faced top-notch opponents when they were at the peak of their powers rather than waiting until they got old and shopworn (except Leonard, of course, but that was more a fact of Leonard thinking he had an easy target in Camacho).
