Hector Camacho Sr. vs. Ricky Hatton

[Master]

Comes down to footwork for me. Really these two are on different universes there. Camacho could stink out an arena and was labeled a runner at times but the lateral movement combined with those combinations would see Ricky in a bad way late, he wouldnt be able to trap and pounce on Camacho, and Camachos beard was solid. Think Ricky would be more Pazienza then a Haugen, who was a tricky boxer at times and not just a mauler.

Very good analysis.

I like Paz and Haugen a lot. Though their fights never lived up to the hype.

Haugen gets a bad rap all because he mouthed off about Mexicans and got hammered by Chavez. BUT Haugen was a pretty damn good fighter.

Haugen PICKED HIS SHOTS. He knew how to box, to slip, and to counter. He was a very fundamentally sound little fighter.

Always thought Paz was a better fighter than Haugen, although he got a victory over Comacho.

Vinny Paz was better and more entertaining.

Ya know. Gotta side with Haugen being the better boxer. Paz was a showman, fast and hectic, better boxing early in career but the fights between them aside I say Haugen better fundamentals, off the top brainstorming it....biggest capable 'name' Paz ever beat pre and maybe post near life ending car accident was, well, Haugen

Camacho may have been dumb outside the ring, but inside the ring was a different story, he was only ever genuinely beaten by true champions Chavez, Trinidad and DLH...all by decision. He was crafty and extremely fast, stylisitcally he would have been a nightmare for Hatton. I could never understand why he never fought Whitaker? Hatton would have to go for the balls in this one!

It's after the fact that we know Camacho was hell bent on survival after Rosario. He could run circles around Hatton and As Old Guard mentioned, Hatton is quick but just like the starving dog that caught a rabbit, he was starving so long he forgot he had teeth and didn't know what to do once he trapped Mayweather. It's the starving dog and the rabbit in that ring.
