The rise of a legend

Camacho couldn't even bust up a known bleeder like Mancini. Watch the replays Mancini's face was completely unmarked no swelling no bleeding. Camacho ran like a punk for twelve rounds and was lucky to get the decision

Camcho wasted so much of his talent with his inactivity and out of the ring Antics. He was a good fighter and had the potential to be even more then he was. OInce Rosario tagged him he became a safety first fighter and that just made him a dull boring fighter in my opinion

 

LMAO!! :rofl:rofl:rofl

You've just admitted Hector never went on to have any of these so called big wins.

Talk about claw in mouth :happy

 

How could Haugen face a puncher like Rosario tho, i consider him the hardest punching 135 in history.

We're in agreement really, Rosario was my fave and i too think he would beat Haugen. I am just trying to point out Haugen has some sort of chance and is a bit better than some believe. He could cause some problems in there.

My beloved Rosario also has his weaknesses, much to my chargrin back in the day. He was supposed to be the second coming of Roberto Duran, and i bought into a fair bit of it after his early performances. The mags had Rosario fave at either 8-5 or 9-5 i remember.

 

Keep me updated on the process. I'm sure if anyone has the relevant mag they'll speak up.

JT and MDWC seem to be all up in the mags, so if they don't have it, it's likely not to pop up any time soon.

 

You'll have a full head of grey hair by the time he gets the magazine. You might even be dead.

 

Haha, I'll make it my white whale if I have to.

 

In what ****ing year? Jesus, a prime Leonard would have retired shoeshine Hector.

 

Camacho was a runner. He ran for his life against Chavez and De La Hoya. Leonard would win a a clear UD decision over him. I would not say it's out of the question for Leonard's blazing hands to topple Hector during the late rounds.

 

So in other words, Camacho's fight with an aging mediocrity was so close that a couple of point deductions was the only difference between them.

 

By 85 i'd scaled right back unfortunately. I have a handful but am highly unlikely to strike gold dammit.

 

JT is it still possible to order in old boxing mags or would you have to get them second hand?

I notice ebay have heaps of mags from the 80's, that should probably be the first port of call.

I would love to get to the bottom of this, and I'm not scared to shed a few quid to do it. The mags would be good to have in and of themselves, irrespective of this Whitaker-Camacho thing.
