Always had a hot-cold thing with Camacho. I dont know if I'd say he was underrated. But maybe under appreciated? Possibly in the sense that his hand speed was phenomenal as was his ring awareness. He was also one of the best self promoters or hype-man that there ever was. The guy was a walking talking live action comic strip. I think he looked at absolute best in fights like the one with tough Tony Baltazar. But...he still didn't "beat" a come backing Ray Mancini! He could also stink the ring out and did it shamelessly..the track meet backfoot and later on would roll out these pity pat 'prevent' volleys with little intent on doing damage. All sizzle no steak. Thought he lost both close to Haugen who himself was an underrated boxer in spots. Maybe I'm biased I liked The Mutt. It's weird with Camacho because his entire career has 'big' names and fights sprinkled in beginning to end but the huge fresh 3 did a number on him, Tito, Chavez and De La Hoya. If I remember right he showed a ton of balls in with Trinidad though. Lost wide but took a shelling. He was a skilled fighter and legit talent but may be guilty of sabotaging himself by working the character angle up ad nauseam.
