    I don't have to resort to watching "footage" of a prime Camacho. I saw it live on TV when it actually happened!

    I stand by my original assessment. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

    Your original assessment was a shutout, either you didn't watch prime Camacho or you don't know boxing. All experts know that prime Camacho was one of a kind.

    Only rumors, sparring doesn't mean anything.

    Camacho was one of the all around fastest fighters I have ever seen, but he was no Pernell Whitaker.

    I didn't said that he was or wasn't better,I just told that guy that because Pernell giving Camacho a shutout is impossible,if Pernell was better that's open to debate.

    At 140, Whitaker takes it by UD.If this was the Camacho of 130 land, I might go the other way.He was a toughter fighter at the lighter weight.

    Whitaker was a great fighter, but flawed in minor areas,, I could definitely see Camacho beating him at a lighter weight if focused.

    Not the fastest fighter, didn't take the greatest punch, to mention two.

    That's right. I told you Pea that I already read that article and you ignored it altogether then you criticize because I rank Hector higher. I was there from the beginning when Hector made his tv debut on cbs. Where were you?

    No way does Pernell stay close to Hector on thescorecards. He's a hector wannabe that came in after Hector left his impression on the sport.

    So he wanted to make sport of Hector in a sparring session-Pernell's big moment. Have you ever thought Hector took it easy on the amateur for fear he might kill him? From what I read, Pernell came back for more after turning pro and his own people stopped it because Hector was raping his young ass in the gym.

    I could tell Hector looked up to him with his dirty style of fighting but he took his act fom Hector, the master of dirty tricks like the fighters from the 20's and 40's. Whatever hs displayed, he took from Hector but you don't know because you haven't seen enough of him. and Hector had twice the speed-no one decisions Camacho.
