    Pacquiao is not skillful?

    Quit hating.

    Camacho dances his way to a UD loss.

    Could not have said it better.:good

    Pacquiao is too slow and clumsy to hit or get near a prime Camacho.

    I get the feeling you werent a boxing fan back when Camacho was fighting or else you would know that Camacho was no longer an elite pfp type guy at 140. More like a top contender.... He was just a shell of his self, he became more of a stick and move (somedays literally running) type of guy. Now at 130,135 were talking that would be a helluva matchup at that weight..... At 140 Pac chases and eventually beats him up winning a clear decision.

    Yep. A "prime 140 lb. Hector Camacho" is like a "prime 147 lb. Meldrick Taylor". Post Aaron Davis.

    Hector by UD, he's far to slick & slippery for pac, i'am a huge pac fan but this is a nightmare style for manny to handle, this ai'nt Diaz.

    Come on man. Pac is not skillful? Thats just silly.

    Offensively he is very skillful. Has a great jab and every punch in the book, is super fast and throws in combinations. He also has great technique with his punching (imo)

    Defensively he is not the greatest, but he has great footwork and can usually get himself out of trouble with some clever movement.

    Why does he have to beat one of the best fighters in the world to show that he IS a skillful fighter? If floyd beats Manny it doesn't mean that Manny isn't skilled, it just means that Floyd is MORE skilled. And tbh, i doubt many would question floyds superior defensive skills.

    Cotto is technically very good and Manny destroyed him. Barrera is one of the best technicians in the sport and Manny beat him. Morales, Oscar etc etc. He has beaten many skilled fighters.

    For this being a ******* boxing site im suprised at all the people picking against him.... I mean 130,135 i can see Camacho maybe winning it but at 140 no waaaaaaaaay!!... I get the feeling some of you guys eithe A) are newbs and werent watching boxing then or B) Have to get your memory checked on Camacho at 140..... I mean at this point i doubt Camacho would beat Kahn,Bradley much less Pac.

    Good points, except for Oscar, c'mon Oscar was a zombie when Pac fought him lol. Pac has skills no doubt, but I'd just like to see him fight a decent boxer more often, offensively yes he DOES have skills and has great foot speed, but at the same time his last fights his opponents were just there to be hit. And my mistake, Camacho's prime were more in his 130 and 135 reign. But yeah..

    Camacho kos Pac? :rofl I like Camacho's early days as he was very aggressive but the mans style suddenly changed for the worst over the course of years.
    Pac would win a wide ud at 140.

    camacho easily at any weight and for the guy that said that he lost to every great fighter he faced well he beat, bazooka limon, jose luis ramirez, chapo rosario, ray mancini, vinny paz,

    camacho had the ability to be one of the best if not the best of all time but he preferred drugs, partying and not much training

    :hat
