    An old Tony Ayala Jr. i believe .
    Campas was old then too. With A LOT more fights.

    And I'd say a PRIME Raul Marquez was a better victory for Campas.

    Yes, there are far more deserving fighters in the HOF, but Campas was a good fighter.
    Just not a hall of famer.

    Course then we have Barry McGuigan lol
    I thought that prime Marquez was a bit fortunate to get the nod vs late replacement Keith Mullings when Campas dropped out of original fight. I do think its was Campas best win though, Jones ko was brutal too.

    The Ayala fight was a face first war but Tony was old as in he just had a 15 yr layoff old and maybe juuuust a lil over rated in the first place.
    True true.

    That prison sentence did NOT do him any favors.

    Of course he is a no good serial rapist scum of the earth fucker.

    I think pre-prison Ayala has become something of a myth. Some people think he could have hung with Duran, Leonard, Hagler and Hearns.

    He's not a C level fighter at all.

    While probably not a hall of famer, he does have victories over:

    Raul Marquez, Anthony "Mr." Jones, and Tony Ayala Jr.

    Not to mention he gave Tito and Vargas good fights.

    Not even close he never beat an elite fighter, he lost to all big names Trinidad, Lopez, Vargas, ODLH, Carr. He had a couple of decent wins here and there but not even close to being in the hall of fame.

    He also gave Obar Carr a good fight too.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Sure, the man quit in most of his losses, but he was one hell of a puncher, and has an eye popping record.

    Also, he's still fighting, and believe it or not is on a 7 fight win streak at 40 years old !

    Luis Ramon Campas - Boxer
    There are much better fighters that didn't get into there , such as Donald Curry , Sim Thompkins ("Young Peter Jackson") , Julian Jackson , George Chuvalo (only got into the WBHOF , but not into the more lucrative IBHOF) .
    Surprisingly (or not , since the IBHOF is a populistic organization) Ken Norton was introduced , however even Ken Norton was a better fighter than Campas .. and I am far from being a fan of his or considering him even as a top 30 HW of all time .
