Why Doesn't Anyone Pick Camacho against Mayweather @130lbs?

I don't know why people are so quick to say Mayweather beats Camacho. Might be due to the fact they overrate Mayweather or because they underrate Camacho. Bit of both I presume, but most likely, it's the latter. Camacho goes a bit overlooked at 130.

Personally, I pick Mayweather by a razor thin decision over Camacho at 130. Honestly, this could go either way. Mayweather has admitted to struggling against southpaws and there has never been a southpaw with hands as fast as a prime Camacho. Floyd's advantages come in technical skills and adaptability.

 

I don't think the southpaw stance alone is enough to bother Mayweather. However, a southpaw with good speed and defensive abilities would sure as hell bother him. If Camacho were to lose it would be because of his lack of power.

 

What are some good fights of his?
I've only seen fights where he is loosing and holding every five seconds to opponents. Saw the Sugar Ray fight but he didn't impress me much.

 

At 130, as acb pointed out, Bazooka Limon.

It wasn't like Limon had never been KO'd before. I haven't seen much of Camacho at 130 so maybe I'm wrong here, but I just don't think he's a big puncher. Do you think Camacho was a bigger puncher at 130 than Zab is at 147?

 

Cool, thanks, I was only aware of his later fights.

 

I do.

 

It's funny, I just put up a thread about what would have happened if Camacho fought Rosario in a rematch. I also just finished watching the Ramirez vs Camacho fight.

Camacho would beat PBF at 130. Ramirez, limon, Solis, etc. Don't judge Camacho post Rosario. Find some more of his old fights at 130. I heard he fought even at a lighter weight. I am disperately looking for the Camacho vs Rosario fight. Does anyone know where to find it?

 

His power at that weight was similar to Floyd's.

 

Camacho at 130 was one hell of a fighter, people tend to remember the post Rosario version.
