    I don't believe in the Rosario effect... All Rosario did was illustrate what was inside of camacho

    It was always there

    That said, camacho has the Perfect style to beat morales and he would do just that... Jab, shoeshine and hold a bit en route to a clear UD

    I have a bit of a different opinion about the Rosario effect. The Camacho that fought Ramirez a few months before Rosario was a different fighter to some degree. He sat down on his punches more and would exchange more. He was always a slick fighter but prior to Rosario, he was fun to watch.

    Anyone who doesn't think Camacho changed after the Rosario fight, probably isn't old enough to have watched Camacho back then. Just find a video of Camacho-Solis for the Super Feather title and compare it to the post Rosario Camacho that fought Boza Edwards.

    There is no comparison. The Camacho that fought Solis was willing to trade. He took big shots and kept firing off shots in return. And most importantly, was one of the most entertaining fighters to watch.

    The Camacho-Solis fight is one of the first I have VHS.

    The pre Rosario version of Camacho versus Morales would have been a memorable fight. I like Camacho's chin and defense to squeak by on a close decision.
