    Floyd would have toyed with Hector at 135 and above but what about at 130 when he was a little green and Camacho was at his quickest?

    'Floyd was green at 130?

    You're a special kinda idiot, arent you?

    He only had his best performance at 130, that's all.'

    But to answer your question, Floyd wins. Just better than Hector.

    Both were athletic phenoms, but theres a huge gap in ring IQ.

    Mayweather. Awesome ability plus great ring intelligence beats awesome ability on its own more often than not.

    Itd be a heck of a fight but i think camacho tries to depend on sitting down on his shots..doing so he abandons enough speed to give floyd the leap...floyds iq and abilities take him from here..i see him winning like 8 rounds to 4 9 to 3 something like that

    I just see camacho obviously copping an attitude during the lead up and just going to puncher mode trying to prove his machisomo...and the way floyd digs at you believe it camacho is coming to bang

    whether the fight be held at 130 or 135, Floyd takes his first loss (on points of course)

    The first half of the fight might play out pretty close, but Camacho would have absolutely nothing for Floyd’s mid fight adjustments.

    That was a great win, but there were a lot of fights where he fought on the front foot and he wasn`t any good at that is what I meant.

    Floyd would have fought far more smarter v Rosario than Camacho did, he just ran after being hurt in that one, Floyd would have beaten Rosario easily.

    Ring IQ always trumps raw athleticism.

    Camacho was blazing fast and could move. Zab gave Mayweather fits and Camacho was faster and moved pretty good.
    I say Camacho.

    Mayweather by close decision. He would be able to counter Hector after the early rounds.
    7-5 Floyd. Good close fight.

    A Fascinating fight. If their was a fighter Faster than Mayweather Jr at Superfeather/Jr.lightweight it would've been Camacho Sr. What would each fighter do facing an opponent just as fast? When I first saw Camacho Sr. I thought he would go on to top 5-10 ATG ( Certainly had the skills and athleticism) But one great punch from Rasario changed everything and showed where Camacho hearts at. He became a strictly safety 1st fighter after Rasario. Mayweather Jr. At Superfeather was just as dynamic as Camacho. The difference though is Camacho prior to Rasario wasn't safety 1st. And was looking for the stoppage and not just the win. Same with Mayweather Jr. Their Careers at Superfeather was pretty much a mirror of each other. Camacho was more aggressive at this weight and also was a southpaw..... I lean towards Camacho. But wouldn't argue against A Mayweather win by other posters. Mayweather Jr. Didn't punch near as hard as Rasario, so the threat of him landing something that would discourage Camacho isn't going to happen. I think Mayweather jr waiting for countering opportunities waits to long to get on track trying to adjust to Camacho's speed and south paw stance. Camacho would win a very close split dec. But it could easily go to Mayweather jr by dec.

    The strong beat the weak but the smart beat the strong.
