    Say what you want, the guy had pizzazz---- "It's Macho Time!!!" Hector was a superb defensive boxer---The only confirmation of death is wikipedia. So frustrating. Boxing is losing all of it's warriors. Guys like Arturo Gatti and Camacho. Camacho was the ultimate showmen. I hope wikipedia is wrong but they're never wrong. No doubt the guy was troubled but he had a cool personality and his son is a fighter. Top level fighter

    Loved his mini skirt shorts but always pulled against him...loved to pull against him but respected his ability to back up his showman words. RIP

    Wikipedia has changed Camacho's page and hasn't confirmed death. That's rare. I hope that he makes it. A living legend; similar to Pernell Whitaker but with a larger than life personality.

    Camacho embarrassed Greg Haugen and Haugen was the fighter that you loved to hate. He had wars with Vinny Pazienza. Boxing needs this kind of competition again.
