Ch W It was around 81 or 82 somewhere around there. I was a teenager and he was in the early stages of his pro boxing career. He actually was in my town (DC) in a rough part of the neighborhood (my neighborhood). He was by himself and he had a Camaro. I think the car was maroon or burgundy and it had a pair of white boxing gloves painted on the side of them and the words "Macho Time" emblazoned in white on the side. I was shocked because I could not believe that this guy would be in my rough neighborhood and he was a long ways from NYC. But after I thought about it, there was another pro fighter who was from my neighborhood who use to come to my street and buy drugs so I figured Macho must have known this guy and that was the reason why he was there. Can't be for certain but that's what I figured. Anyway, I said what'sup Camacho and he said what'sup with a big ol' Kool - Aid smile. He was really a nice, nice guy.
Camacho was a bit too freaky for me (he and I were born months apart, go figure)...but he could use his hands and was a bad dude any way you slice it. I wasn't a fan but always respected him...he was good for boxing.
Aposteln Trynt That’s the same thing I said immediately after you were born. The look of disappointment on my face if you could’ve only seen it. Well actually you did
When this video was made I was a 16 yo amateur boxer. I was heavily influenced by Hector Camacho. He gave me so much inspiration and he showed me that it was ok to just be yourself and to be fearless doing it. I've carried that attitude with me my entire life thanks to Hector Camacho. I feel like I lost a big brother when Hector died. I got to meet Camacho once at a fight in Florida in 1989 when his brother Felix was fighting. He was a super nice person. RIP Champ, I'll always love you.
Till this day i still cant believe MACHO CAMACHO is gone he was my hero he grew up in new yorks spanish harlem and made it as a famous professional boxer and very flamboyant and always kept it real in the 80s he represented puerto rican americans right anyways i will never forget what he always said What time is it? its MACHO TIME! REST IN PEACE CHAMPION!
Some of my best memories is my dad getting these pay-per-views with macho Man and his flamboyant outfits in the mid to late 80s just watching this video here brings back so many great memories of the New York City area during that time macho Man was definitely the people's champ! RIP..
a fucking sublime fighter with a sublime personality, an absolutely ruthless finisher ruthlessly finishing himself from the inside out,,,,,a floored genius,,,,,rest in peace champ.
R.i.p CAMACHO. He was a charismatic fighter alonside muhammad ali and Sugar ray leonard. Damn 3 boxers died in a row from late 2012 into mid 2013. I guess it comes in 3's. First camacho then tommy morrison and last but not least Ken norton. Wow 3 great fighters gone too soon :(
I was just reminiscing on this cat, dang! This dude was something else, he went through so much. Sad ending to such a legend man, el mundo te extraña, Macho Time!!! “Seguuuudo”
@ 2:57 "Its like if you got money, and you walk down the street. if i know you got money and you know you got money. And you gonna pass through there. And you gonna let me take your money. Ill take it " 😂😂😂
Macho driving that Cadillac reminded me of the scene in "Carlito's Way," when Carlito is accompanying his cousin to drop off money and drugs. Sadly, the cousin gets his throat cut and dies. Kind of what ended up happening to Carlito and Macho Camacho, but they both ended up dying with a gun! 😢 Thanks for uploading! Macho was only 21 here! Man ⏰ flies!!!
@@Ijustinsultedyou Why? It's all a matter of opinion. In my opinion he had the second fastest hands of all time behind Meldrick Taylor. He's definitely in the top 5.
And mouth!! Lol. I rooted against him a lot during his career. But I appreciate the talent and the spectacle he brought. Fighters like him sold fights!
Curious if his killers were ever aprehended? What a shame, lost in the world of drugs, sadly it was his demised. Shot by his own people on the Island of Puerto Rico, the hometown. Sad for Puerto Ricans, Puerto Rico and a shame for the island and Puerto Ricans alike. But his name and legacy shall last a lifetime on the boxing history books. RIP Champ!
No matter if you were a fan or not, you can not Camacho was a Great Fighter, he did stay way longer than he should've but a Great fighter for his time, a precursor for Mayweather and the rest. What he as criticized the most, defensive, holding, and getting on a bike, its what fighters do now. RIP Champ!
like the vreat mexican fighter and the great nicaraguan fighter and the great panamainian fighter puerto rico will always have a great fighter and i say this cause i love great hispanic boxers.
While in the Army assigned as a Army Recruiter in Orlando I happened to be running a background check in the old city hall, I happened to run in to Macho. He came over and greeted me. I guess because of my uniform. We had some small talk and he went on his way. I guess he was there for one of his run in's with the law. I was surprised how small he was in stature, but always seemed larger than life. RIP my brother....
Looked (and fought) =so=much like "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon, the LA-based featherweight & super-featherweight champ from the '70s & '80s I thought at first that he =was= BC. He and Hector both fought Rafael "Bazooka" Limon in televised main events, btw. Another opponent they shared was Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.
i share the same last name as him..and alot of people would ask me if i was related to him..i would smile..sometimes i would say yeah just to get a reaction from people lol
Nothing like Camacho in his prime...Until he got some good competition, then he did more holding/running- still did good and should of retired much earlier than he did...I guess he needed mo money.

The 80’s the best years..

You gotta respect Macho...Rest in Paradise King 👑
i was 11yrs old when last i saw this i think i still got it on batemax.great to see camacho in his prime.In 1983 he was unbeatabul.
What a great fighter! I met him in person and he was a really cool dude.
Cool can we know how you met him ? ^^

RIP THE BEST THAT EVER DID IT💯🙏❤
don king did a good job scouting characters from the hood like him and mayorga. Stuff like that was good for boxing.
HECTOR CAMACHO 💙 ♠

No need to mention you were born months apart. Nobody cares when you were born.
Aposteln Trynt That’s the same thing I said immediately after you were born. The look of disappointment on my face if you could’ve only seen it. Well actually you did
He was the insperation for Mayweather R.I.P/Q.E.P.D CAMACHO SEGUUUUURO LOL.
Except mayweather wasn’t street like macho man
Paulos Kidane mayweather was also alot smarter no drugs no alcohol
Hector was happy ❤❤
sadly he tried that street life style in Bayamon
That's not fair on Bobby, he fought a lot of legends.
My grandfather made his jewelry in el barrio
I started cracking up when he put his nephew in that closet
HARLEM WORLD 🌏🌏
Spanish Harlem🇵🇷🗽
Macho Maaaaaan!!!
Fucking legend
Love this video who sings that song at the end ???
Sergio Mendes is the singer. "Rainbow's End" is the name of the song at the end.
Ptl. All l can say about the man was when he was young he tried to rob me him and this girl he was with she cut me on my left arm .
Awesome upload, RESPECT!
What song is that at 1:00?
God bless America by Kate Smith
Girl! Don't get so mad
Que carro es el que tree Camacho LTD
Una lastima que su vida terminara asesinado.
His own people killed him? so you including all the Puerto Ricans? Be more specific dude.
Miss him. Colorful character, great fighter. Entertainer.

Rip macho you not matter ur wrongs
Your inspiration
he flashy before flashy is the thing..
He got hands
While in the Army assigned as a Army Recruiter in Orlando I happened to be running a background check in the old city hall, I happened to run in to Macho. He came over and greeted me. I guess because of my uniform. We had some small talk and he went on his way. I guess he was there for one of his run in's with the law. I was surprised how small he was in stature, but always seemed larger than life. RIP my brother....
The best ever !!!!!
Looked (and fought) =so=much like "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon, the LA-based featherweight & super-featherweight champ from the '70s & '80s I thought at first that he =was= BC. He and Hector both fought Rafael "Bazooka" Limon in televised main events, btw. Another opponent they shared was Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.
His mother move here in 138 st in the south Bronx.
Cheesy music and red leather jackets... aawwwww the 80's 😂
What’s the song playing on 1:26
He was a class act and great for boxing... Gone but never Forgotten!!!
2020 am here and it's sad how he died killed in PR 😭ower home Land

RIP A LEGEND
Nacho Man a Arrogant prick and so in love with himself, wonderful to see Chavez bust him up while he ran and hugged like a coward, RIP
