Rosario was done over the judges, but Camacho was robbed of superstardom, he was never the same again.

The closest he came to living up to his 'Macho Man' nickname after that fight, was when he took a one-sided pasting from Chavez in 1992. He took his beating like a man, and showed a lot of guts to stand up to JC Superstar for the entire fight; if only he had done that against Rosario!!!

The only other Camacho fight, that gives me a kind of 'warped' pleasure, was watching him KO a 41 year old Sugar Ray Leonard with a Jab!!!!
Teh problem with that fight was Camacho acted as though he just beat a prime Leonard.....DLH took the " Macho" out of him in simular circumstances ( though he wasn't KO'd)....Camacho had a hell of a chin though
