Since everybody with more wins than losses will end up in the HOF, the way it is going, why not Camacho? And what about Buck Smith? At one point he was something like 196-5, and the only guys that beat him were McGirt and other top ten guys. And Wimpy Halstead? He was 78-8 or close to it, only beaten by Bowe, Morrisson, etc...
Really, though, Camacho was a pretty good fighter, even after Rosario. He fought the best of his era, did well against them (never ko'd...ever knocked down?), so I guess he probably will and I guess he should.

lesser fighters have gotten in, even though he never lived up to his full potential he still was a multidivision champion, he fought the best fighter's of his time (Chavez, Haugen, Pazienza, Trinidad, DLH, Rosario, etc.), and was never dropped his entire career, i mean he didn't have a stellar career by any means but he's done a hell of a lot more than others who are already in the hall

I agree with that. Lots of guys less deserving are in, and he was very successful- no shame in losing to Chavez, and he was an old guy fighting 17 pounds above his starting weight when he lost to Trinidad and De LaHoya.

I go with yeh. Not all glitter and dazzle he had serious skills and longevity with level of comp. Of course he gave us Hector camacho jr so that's a mark against him. The hall is pretty watered down, I mean didn't they just 'elect' Rocky flipping Balboa for crying out loud
