    i was thinking about these two greatly talented fighters as i was coming home from the work and fighting traffic.

    one had one of the greatest right hands in the lightweight division and the other had two of the fastest hands in the lightweight division.


    it seemed that they where both covering the 130-140lb area very well. i would imagine a prime vs prime fight in any of that 10lb area.

    A toss-up....... Mayweather prolly gets the nod based on his power at 130 to 135 pounds, but I thought Mayweather became more durable at 140 with liquid in his system......

    Hector Camacho kicks his ass at 147 with ease......

    I'm thinking Hector is too lightening quick to be tagged cleanly by the Black Mamba, esp. at 130.
    I don't think it will be an easy fight for him, but Camacho should edge it on points. I wouldn't count out Roger's right hand, though.

    I'd probably favour Camacho to take him out, but if it goes the distance, I would give Roger a decent chance of getting the decision.

    YES! But I also have Mayweather getting iced by "Lockridge, Chavez and Fred Pendleton."

    Mayweather's chin was bad at 130 and 135 pounds cuz his body was weight-drained...... At 140, Mayweather took a better punch.....

    But Mayweather never did **** above 140 like Camacho did.....

    Again, at 130 to 135, I feel Mayweather was still very fast himself and had wicked power in his right paw, but his chin was bad.... But since Camacho is no power-puncher, I see Mayweather having a chance with Camacho below 140 pounds..... Above 140, Camacho eats Mayweather's ass up.......

    Off topic... But Camacho would've looked a lot better against Chavez in 1992 had the weight been set at 147 and not 140...... Camacho said he was eating EXLAX to crap every four hours just days before the fight in order to make 140.....

    At 130, Camacho was too sharp for Mayweather to beat him.He would have his moments, but Roger would lose on unanimous decison.After 130, Roger would take Hector on decison, not the same fighter.

    I always thought Camacho was overrated a bit. The best guys he beat were old fighters. When he fought young guys he was outclassed like with Delahoya and Tito. I think Roger surprised people and the right hand lands on the southpaw Camacho with ease and he stops Camacho in 6.. Sounds crazy I know, but Hector never fought many guys with a straight right like Roger had, and remember Roger beat up Vinny, and Camacho did not. I am talking about the 140 and above Mayweather. below that each division Camacho gets better. I assume this is 140 we are talking about. At 135 it looks even with an edge to Camacho. At 130 Camacho wins by stoppage. This one has all to do with where it happens.

    Roger's only chance is at 140.

    At 130 & 135 Hector outboxes him by a wide margin, and maybe even stops him at 130.

    Actually many said that Camacho didnt want nothing to do with Mayweather. Looking at their careers i would rank Camacho significantly higher than Mayweather but style wise im thinking Roger might get him. Im thinking Camacho knew this.

    Camacho pre and post Rosario might be more important than the weights.

    Pre i think he terrorises Mayweather and possibly stops him, his chin was good enough to take the handful of right hands Mayweather may land.

    Post he bores us and wins on points, any weight.
