    Is because most people are too young to remember young MACHO. They know the old one. The one that makes his money running

    yeah yeah yeah, camacho never had heart nor the defensive wizadry of floyd. anyone who looks at camacho at 130 and says he was equal to floyd is a ****ing hater:deal floyd losing to a guy like camacho in his prime a guy who partied and did cocaine. get the **** out of here:patsch :rofl :nut


    anything camacho did floyd did 2 times better. camcaho was nver on floyd's level skill wise:deal

    when have you ever seen floyd frustrated let alone by a lefty. floyd would have banged camacho out of the ring tko stoppage in 9 rounds EASY

    Bigtime, you're an idiot. Rosario, a guy I'm sure you've never seen or heard of, who also happens to be one of the biggest punchers in boxing history, could'nt stop Camacho. Floyd, who has never been a big puncher is going to do it in 9 rounds? GTFOH.

    at 130 camacho was a special fighter. southpaw with imo the best handspeed i have seen bar none. good power, he was a fighter that sat down on his combinations, not shoeshine punches, along with very underrated defensive skills.

    in a matchup with pbf, i take floyd at every weight except this one. with all of pbf's ability to adjust, hector was just too unorthodox for me to see pbf making the necessary adjustments to pull this one out.

    How exactly would Floyd Mayweather deal with the hand speed of Camacho over the course of 12 rounds? Ain't nobody getting KO'd in this fight. And to just say Camacho was quick doesn't do him justice, he is one of the fastest ever and I mean just psycho fast like a cat and he was southpaw with very long arms - I don't know about you but that sounds like it would trouble Floyd...Trouble him enough to win a UD.

    Floyd would have to be at 110% with his quick counter shots but that gets nullified when you're getting outworked by such fast hands. Look at what Roy did with Hopkins and Toney...Both Toney and Hopkins are purely counter punchers, Roy came in flooding them with punches and then would step out quick.

    Who knows if Camacho would move on his feet that way with Floyd, Floyd has amazing footwork himself - but Floyd could never out punch Camacho never in a million years! If Camacho kept those punches coming how the hell would Floyd get around a southpaws high output with the speed of Camacho to be able to land enough to win rounds?

    I don't know but stylistically Camacho seems like a nightmare for Floyd

    Wow, great input. Again, does anyone have any idea where to find the Camacho vs Rosario fight? I could not find it on youtube.

    As fast as PBF is, Hector is still a lot faster. I can see this going the way PBF vs Judah went. Except, Hector keeps up that pace and can win a UD.

    He had good power at 130. Not to mention he had good defense and a good chin. FMJ would not stop him that is for sure.

    Cause he would get his ass tore up, and he NEVER had better speed than Mayweather

    Ok, I was never a real Camacho fan. Though I respect his ability. Honestly? I think Floyd beats Camacho about 116-112.I dont believe that Camacho would have fazed Floyd and PBF would out box him.Henry Armstrong, thats my ticket vs Floyd at 130 AT!
