Lightweights: Shane Mosley vs Hector"Macho" Camach

[elmersalsa]

Hello folks!!!

I got this ones for y'all. Who would've won between these two fighters and why in their primes.

It is a hard pick for me. I call it a draw.

[Roco]

I would take Camacho by close decision.

[Counter-puncher]

I would take Camacho by close decision.

hmmm. its a really interesting one. Mosley's got the physical tools to hang with Camacho speed-wise, plus he's more willing to take a shot and hits harder at 135lbs too.

on the hand's other side, Camacho had the better defensive skills and boxing brain. I don't think Camacho would be leading off too much nor do I think he'd be willing to exchange.

what's left in my mind is Camacho trying to potshot Mosely from the outside with quick clean shots and stay out of trouble. that does the job for one judge, maybe, but I think Mosley's aggressiveness would the key for the other two.

i wouldn't be surprised at a Split-type decision whatever happens, due to the style clash.

Mosley was crazy quick, to be fair to Mugabi, but NOBODY was swifter than Camacho. Its THAT simple.

[King Carlos]

Mosley had very fast hands, but Camacho was faster, and had the foot speed to match. With that said, I wouldn't necessarily favour him in this matchup. I'm looking at it like the Rosario fight. Difficult call.
