    HECTOR CAMACHO -if this man had a different upbringing, lets say he had been adopted at birth by Cus D' Amato or had a love of training or the discipline of a Hopkins, Camacho had the raw tools to have been either the greatest of all time or damn near close.

    Also, Tony Ayala had a shout if he hadnt been a scumbag.

    I always thought Zab could've been alot better than he turned out. He needed the right trainer and switched too late. Had he had Steward or Roach developing him, he might have given Floyd alot more trouble than Floyd would've liked. Same with Shane, should've got with Richardson after he lost to Forrest.

    Thomas Hearns had he either learned to grab or if he was actually in this era because I wouldn't see the top two fighters today even troubling him.
