Was/Is Hector Camacho an All-Time Great?

Recently been diagnosed with AAS. Avatar addiction syndrome.

 

Now mine has been slagged off I'm thinking of changin it! I must have AAAS (Alexis Arguello Appreciation Syndrome)

 

He'll probably be in the Hall, which includes a lot of non-ATGs, but he definitely fell short of greatness himself. He could be pretty good if he wasn't fighting a big puncher, but against most of the top punchers he fought, he looked like a fragile *****. He altered his whole career just to avoid a rematch with Rosario (which alone disqualifies him from ATG status IMO), and he had to run and hold like crazy every second just to avoid being KO'd by Chavez, Tito, and DeLaHoya.

 

Ouch! There's nothing worse than an AAS problem.

 

Thanks LAXPDX for getting my back.

 

Yeah. It's a new mental health problem. Doctors just found out about it recently after some research.

 

Yeah, what about it Robbi?

Looks like your tactic backfired on you

 

You weren't replying to me. What you talking about?

 

Your statement about Hector being the best p4p over the last 40 years. dont we get an answer?

 

Hector was tha man. Nobody did it like Hector. :good

 

not at all, he'll get in the hall of fame but so are alot of fighter how are not ATG

 

The Hall of Fame, is for fighters with fame, and is a commercial adventure, it is not there to place great fighters into its Hall, unless of course that Great had fame.

Camacho is a famous fighter of the 80s/90s, he is clearly Hall of Fame material.

But he is no great. He could of been great, but never truly got over the Rosario fight, a fight that ruined him.

I will try and put a positive spin on Hector:

He was fun, he knocked down Leonard with a jab, and by lasting twelve one sided rounds with a near prime Chavez, he showed he could be a man, maybe even a Macho one. It was just a shame, he did not show that heart against Rosario.

 

Slighty short of a great but a complete shoo in for the HOF. As TBooze says people doubted Camachos heart after Rosario but he def. showed it when he had to later on in his career.

 

In terms of skills YES. As far as resume goes? I'm not sure.
