One of the most colorful boxers in the sport's history and one of the biggest stars of the 1980s and 1990s, Hector Camacho was tragically murdered by gunshot in 2012. During his 30-year career he compiled a record of 78-6-3 with 38 knockouts.
Camacho was a three-division world champion. He beat such stars of his era as Jose Luis Ramirez, Edwin Rosario, Ray Mancini, Freddie Roach and Cornelius Boza-Edwards. He sent Ray Leonard into permanent retirement and beat Roberto Duran twice late in Duran's career.
