    I'll take Floyd Jr by close but clear UD. Camacho is faster, but not by much, and Floyd has the superior technique.

    Floyd not only has the superior technique, but just a better overall skill set, and the higher ring IQ. Mentally tougher as well.

    He'd have alot of problems with Camacho's handspeed though. Esp early. But in the end, Floyd wins.

    Camacho's speed would rarely be displayed. Floyd would time jabs to the body and lead right hands.

    After 5 rounds it's split in scoring but Mayweather sweeps the rest of the fight.

    Mayweather on points, but it's a very close competitive fight. Camacho's speed and confidence (back then anyway) give Floyd a load of problems early on as Hector is quite agressive and repeatedly lands straight lefts. Floyd adjusts and seemd to just edge the boxing match in the second half of the fight. Mayweather wins 115-113. Camacho is very live in this fight tho and he's one of the few at the weight over the last 25 years who I'd say could have beaten Mayweather on the right night.
