LIGHTWEIGHT TOURNAMENT ROUND 2- Hector Camacho vs Pernell Whitaker

That's exactly my point. I am sure he would fight the same way he fought against Oscar in the second half of their fight which was chasing the opponent, jabbing, moving, working on the body... Camacho was fast but so was Whitaker.

 

Where's Rooster? I believe he had a claim of how Camacho would win this match-up.

 

He'd have too:yep it all depends what Camacho shows up though? the one that out boxed & decked Ramirez or the post Rosario version that snaked his way too a UD over Boza-Edwards. Camacho is being seriously underestimad here IMO & a few posters seem too think that Pernell will beat Camacho up:nono there's no chance of that happening ever, PERIOD!

Don't be suprised at this being a S/D with 2 judges having it WIDE for both & the one judge having it a draw or one point in it, thats the sort of fight this would be:smoke

I'am not that PC savvy, so do you think you could up-load Camacho/Ramirez from U-tube please, the 2nd clip is superb at the end with larry merchant trying too get a word in, It shows HECTOR calling out Mancini/Whitaker/Holmes & Pryor, some sensitive PC types may find it offensive but thats how it was back then:smoke

 

He was calling Whitaker out in 1985 when Whitaker was one year out of the ams. Know why? Because Pernell was beating that ass when he as still an amatuer :good

10 rounds to 2 Whitaker.

 

Two southpaw slicksters but one faster and sharper than the other. Got to go with the faster man. Pernell would get frustrated here because he's never been up against another boxer with better reaction time. When it comes to a contest between two boxers, speed will win out.

 

It's common sense people!

Hector U 12 Whitaker

 

Pea would win an easy decision. He'd just batter Camacho on the inside like Chavez did. or outbox him.

 

Are you taking the ****???? Pea is a much sharper puncher, Camacho's flurries would be ineffective against Pea.

 

How can he be sharper when he can't even match his speed? hector was both sharper AND faster, both with his hands and on his feet. he dispatched Ramirez with less effort and I feel he would also outspeed Pernell.

Pernell can't hurt Hector either. I'd be hard pressed to find anyone that got hurt by Pernell. Hector COULD hurt a man but often held back his full attack. I'm sure that with Pernell, he would make an exception.

When Hector hit a man, the strike would go clean through and put his man down-one punch. I've seen Hector put many a sturdy fighter down with one shot-Loy, Coverson, Limon, Boza Edwards, Ramierez. Whitaker can't do that which means he's not as sharp.

Pernell hitting a man at normal speed would have club a man over and over.


Pernel wouldnt be able to hit him clean, let alone get him to fight on the inside because of hector's lateral movement. Hector never fought on the inside; that's not his style. he didnt have to fight on the inside because he was smart enough and capable enough to fight his fight without being touched.

Pernell was an excellent defensive fighter and technician but so was Benitez and he still lost to another boxer who was faster still. Same with leonard; he lost to the boxer with superior speed. Pernel's just not fast enough

You see that Fleaman? You see Hector engaging Ramirez on the inside? Hector dont have to but still you think Hector's going to let Pernell hit him with body shots.

That's not even Pernell's style of fighting but even if it was it wouldnt do him any good.

Here in this fight you can see Hector's not even fighting at half speed, he's just cruising throughout the entire fight. Pernell was lucky not to be around during this time; he would be bewildered!

 

i stopped reading here. you're clearly biased and/or delusional, and almost certainly 'special'.

 

No, you just hate 2 be exposed as the huff puff & blustering fart that you are, your the clown here AGAIN picking up on someone else's post that Pernell would beat up Camacho (

) know doubt you'll be swotting up on yer Camacho going through all yer old ring/KO's for quips & quote's & passing on this fistic wisdom as yer own again:yep

The 2 camacho's here are the Ramirez version or the Boza-Edwards version & both are hard 2 pin down, by the way who impressed most in fighting Ramirez, Camacho or Whitaker, if Whitaker tries 2 go after Camacho he'll fall right into Hectors lap/trap, the only way 2 beat hector is that you've got 2 winkle the **** out ov his shell & NO ****IN WAY HE GET'S BEAT UP, THATS A SPECIAL DICK STATEMENT:smoke But HEY! keep-em coming as i know you've plenty more:bbb

 

Good contest.

Peak Camacho isn't to be scoffed at, and Pernell lacks the one thing that can intimidate him.

So we have a boxing clinic between these two. I think Whitaker, for all Camacho's pretenses has a bit more street and mongrel than Hector. I also think he is more multi faceted. His speed and sheer class will nullify a lot of Camacho's speed and elusiveness and i see Whitaker dictating the pace of the fight. His willingness to dig deep when needed and make the pace see's him take a competitive decision.

Whitaker UD

 

Thankee guv'ner:good

I remember when camacho 1st appeared on the scene & we all thought "who the **** is that" but i've gotten 2 appreiciate him over the years, smart/slick/frustrating pain in the arse who yer just loved 2 hate but yer just had 2 give him his prop's, he was a thief & a burglar in that ring. Thank **** 4 u tube as a lot of the younger kids on here will hopefully appreciate him for the smart slickster that he was & not just judge him on his older $$$$ fights against Chavez/DLH & co.

He was certainly a character thats 4 sure, loved playing the pantomime villian & an expert at baiting mexican fans, i saw him at the Chavez/Taylor 1 fight at the Hilton in 1990, thats when he was dressing in matching "PIMP" tiger striped pants/Shirt with that great **** off gold MACHO medalion, how he got in the ring & out alive i'll never know, he just stalked around the ring giving all the mex fan's the finger:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
