    Camacho outboxes him and wins a decision.

    Wouldn't be a damn thing close about this fight.

    Prime Camacho would light Valero up.

    Valero had a eye-catching record against modest opposition.

    Camacho was infinitely more proven, he'd be a tough matchup for most 130-135 fighters in history.

    A big Camacho weakness was that he had a tendency to go into a defensive shell when he got hurt, or was hit with consistency.

    I don't think that happens here.

    Who was that guy that gave Camacho a beating? I'm sure Valero is more than capable.

    Valero, whilst not proven against elite level opposition, certainly had elite-level eye catching talent.

    I think Valero was truly a special talent, too bad he wasted it all.

    Rosario? He was quite a bit faster than Valero.

    Rosario should have gotten the decision IMO, but he didn't give Camacho a beating. Camacho was running too much for that to happen.

    Rosario was a better fighter than Valero anyway.

    Chavez gave Camacho a bad beating, but Chavez is an ATG anyway, miles better than Valero ever proved to be.

    Camacho had declined quite a bit by then, most likely from excessive amounts of cocaine and alcohol.

    What a waste of talent Camacho was.

    Valero too.

    Camacho was fast, but Valero had the kind of lightning that was only seen once during the 80s.

    Yeah, Tony Ayala, an undefeated fighter who beat modest opposition but could have/should have/would have done this and was said to be awesome in the gym.
