Well he beat Duran twice, didn't he? That has to count for something :D He also beat SRL but it's not as impressive because SRL didn't fight much towards the end of his career.

He could have been the best ever if taking the sport of boxing seriously. But, he didn't. Women, drugs and alcohol and the crazy happy life was Hector "Macho" Camacho's downfall.

A very good and complete boxer that never was stopped. His career changed for the worst after the Edwin "Chapo" Rosario fight.

Most underrated chin ever. Fought Bangers like Chavez, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Duran, Bazooka Limon, Jose Luis Ramirez, Edwin Rosario, Ray Mancini, Luis Ramon Campas and SRL. Still never KO'd.

Strong boxer, but there were others who had a better pedigree as far as techs concerned.
