Hector Camacho

First topic message reminder :

I have just heard that Hector Camacho has been shot in the neck and face in a senseless act of violence. Thankfully although he is in critical condition, he is expected to survive.

Horrible news on what has been a really bad year for the sport already with the deaths of boxing legends, lets hope we don't lose another one.

R.I.P Macho.

Well, lets be honest - we're all men of the world and we all know that if two men get professionally assassinated by gunfire at virtual point blank range in their car it's not by a rival missionary worker. Macho was no saint, we'll say no more than that.

Being an addict doesn't make anybody a "bad" person...........

Have to remember unlike "some on here"..Camacho had a family who will no doubt live with this killing for the rest of their lives....

Had great personal tragedy myself and everydasy you get reminded in some way...

Spouting "Dice with the devil"...Is all very well unless death affects you in a very personal way....

Camacho's death is a tragedy and let him without sin cast the first stone.................

Tragic end, as seems all too common for ex-boxers. I guess to some degree it goes hand in hand with a violent profession, but tragic nonetheless

He's the only fighter to stop Ray Leonard correct?

Ha, just spotted this, oh the irony of being stopped by the one guy who could run away faster than Leonard did v hagler.
