    Camacho has way to much speed for Mickey. Camacho wins every round.

    Better question: Does Ward even hit Hector?

    I think people in this thread are thinking too much about the Camacho of the Super Featherweight/Lightweight division.

    Camacho was very beatable at 140 he lost to Haugen, had a very close fight with Mancini coming off a 5 year lay off.

    Whilst it's a no brainer Camacho wins by decision I don't think it's as one sided as people think Ward would win some rounds and be competitive in spurts.

    Simply put: If anyone has an assumption that isn't Camacho by decision, they are not thinking clearly. Sure, anything's possible and Camacho wasn't at his most potent at 140 but that's not bridging the absolutely obscene gap in talent. Gatti had decisively faster and better footwork than Ward. Arturo Gatti.
