Is Hector Camacho underrated?

[Spicoli]

If it wasn'for his flambouyancy and his catch ring name we would not be talking about him. But no disrespect to him but his reign was kinda mixed. Ya know? Just a guy that was there too. Kinda like Vivia Harris, a good fighter but really, we could have a welterweight boxing conversation wtithout him being mentioned.

Minus Camacho being brutally KO'd almost 10 times and being wobbled more than a bicycle on bent rims, yes he was like a Vivian Harris .

Camacho was a talented guy with skills all day, but I never respected him because I thought he was weak at heart, especially after the Rosario fight. In the years leading up to the Chavez fight I was sure that Camacho would quit.
In the Chavez fight he earned my respect. It was very clear very early that Hector couldn't win. But he stayed in and rode it to the end. When he wasn't fast enough to dodge trouble it turned out he had a set of balls, too.
Then he knocked out Ray Leonard. That uppercut he hit Leonard with is an all time favorite of mine.

That was a great thing he did there for boxing and retired Ray Leonard for the final time.
