    Default Is Yori Boy Campas a hall of famer ?

    Was he a good fighter ? A great fighter ? A hall of famer ?

    Sure, the man quit in most of his losses, but he was one hell of a puncher, and has an eye popping record.

    Also, he's still fighting, and believe it or not is on a 7 fight win streak at 40 years old !

    I can't believe he's still fighting. What's his best victory?

    Tito ruined him. He was 56-0 at the time and climbing fast.
    Later in his career, certain vultures came in and feasted on the carcass.
    I always liked the guy, though.

    Love the fighter, the Tito fight was awesome. He was a good fighter who was exciting but not HOF material.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    if Gatti isn't good enough for the HOF (and there are a few on here who have said just that), no way in hell Campas is deserving

    Ruined him so much that Campas won his only title after facing Trinidad

    Agreed i don't think Tito ruined him, i just don't think he was overly good. Jose Luis Lopez murked Campas, now thats a guy who had potential to be canidate for HOF. But he was so damn inconsistent frustrating fighter.

    I'd say that Trinidad did ruin him a bit, seeing how he quit every time he saw his own blood afterwards

    that's like saying Trinidad didn't ruin Vargas cause Fernando went on to win another world title after the beating Tito gave him, which anyone who knows boxing knows that that's not the case (and no VD I'm not saying you don't know your boxing haha)

    I don't think you know what a fighter ruining another fighter means. Trinidad beat Vargas. But to say he ruined him is just dumb. Seriously where do people come up with shit like this? Vargas back problems is what ruined him. Not Trinidad

    LOL... "Ruined" may have been a bit strong. Point is, though, he softened him up enough to make him easier pickings for some of the "conquerors" that came after Tito, including the cross-dresser.

    Had to go back and look. I thought Ray collins boxed his ears a bit and had Campas losing 114-115 with 6th even.

    Campas was old then too. With A LOT more fights.

    And I'd say a PRIME Raul Marquez was a better victory for Campas.

    Yes, there are far more deserving fighters in the HOF, but Campas was a good fighter.
    Just not a hall of famer.

    Course then we have Barry McGuigan lol

    I thought that prime Marquez was a bit fortunate to get the nod vs late replacement Keith Mullings when Campas dropped out of original fight. I do think its was Campas best win though, Jones ko was brutal too.

    The Ayala fight was a face first war but Tony was old as in he just had a 15 yr layoff old and maybe juuuust a lil over rated in the first place.
