    I don’t think there’s really much of a comparison here. While I think Camacho was certainly a great fighter, Roberto Duran is one of history’s p4p best.

    conclusion: Duran by some distance

    Camacho, no contest really. He didn't lose to SRL, in fact he beat him emphatically. Duran was never stopping Leonard.

    Hell, he even beat Duran himself. Twice ! I don't see an argument for Duran at all here.

    Funny answers, non-responsive to the OP question, but funny, nonetheless

    Assuming you're serious , many felt the 45 year old Duran deserved the decision in the first fight ... Camacho stopped being a great fighter ten years earlier when Rosario took his heart for good ...

    I think Duran faced 9 Hall of Famers and Camacho 7 right?

    Camacho looked roided at middleweight. He had a similar physique as Pazienza at higher weights.

    Let us not forget that Ali lost to Berbick, who lost to Tyson, who lost to Holyfield, who lost to Toney, who drew with Kalambay, who lost to Kalule, who lost to Leonard, who lost to Duran, who lost to De Jesus. Esteban De Jesus > Muhammad Ali.

    By all means, do try to explain why De Jesus is greater than Ali.
