    Floyd smashed Judah with body shots and Camacho didn`t have Judah`s power.

    Camacho.

    I think he was the much busier fighter at that weight. Floyd doesn't exactly ever come close to the Henry Armstrong volume punching. He sure likes his breathers during every round. I don't think Camacho gives him that luxury and drains his tank. So to me anyway, the guy winning the 2nd half of the fight going away is Camacho.

    What would be the odds on Mayweather signing to fight a guy like this in his prime? 20 to 1?

    At 130, I'll say Camacho by a hair. I love his speed there. 135 and up, Mayweather.

    Hector W 12.

    His movement was too good. Floyd liked to set the pace and was pretty selective with his punches. Plus, he was never a huge puncher.

    The macho man had underrated power especially at 130. He smashed Bazooka Limón to win the title by KO scoring a couple of knockdowns on the way. He also knocked down iron chinned Ramírez on his way to winning the 135Ib title.Something not even Chavez, Argüello or Mancini could do.

    I’ll go with Mayweather ... in a fight like this Floyd would shift gears and become and educated pressure fighter moving forward behind a high guard. He was a good infighter and body puncher.

    130? Probably Hector would edge it. But 135 Floyd starts to win and up higher all Floyd.

    Hector Macho Camacho was Kind of like WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury, he was a southpaw but had a lot of speed and like Tyson had good footwork. Hector did have a lot of self confidence, which is good for a fighte, he was admired even by Carlos Monzon because of that. Floyd Mayweather also had self confidence, loads of talent and speed. Floyd and Hector would be a great match, but I think that Hector would keep him off balance with his speed and lateral movement, he would make Mayweather reach for him, leaving openings for swift combinations. I see a super close fight with Macho Camacho getting the nod, remember Mayweather had some difficulty with Oscar De La Hoya when they fought and had some swelling around the eyes. Mayweather is no Edwin Rosario.

    I believe a lot of people forget how good Hector was at 130 , he was blitzing guys with speed and power. I was never a big Camacho fan but I genuinely think he was better than Floyd at 130 and would take a decision . Floyd always was the one with the quicker hands in his fights and he wouldn't be against Hector and he didn't have the power to seriously bother him either , I think you'd see a lot of dull rounds in the fight.
