Towards the end he faded and was probably broke and trying to make easy money on the streets, but I see no need to kick a man while he's down, or in this case dead. He ain't no saint but if everyone is gonna bring up all the negativity when someone dies then we're all pretty much screwed when we die.
Man is dead and there's way more worse people I can think of to start talking trash about who are dead AND still living.

I am certainly no saint, but I am definitely not a drug dealing violent criminal and I would venture to guess most of the folks responding to this thread aren't either. We pay too much homage (sp?) to athletes and entertainers who are truly bad people. There are too many honorable people that pass and go unnoticed on a daily basis. Just saying we should start a thread on them rather than waste one on people like this...

Not making excuses for his actions but want clear bring something to the table here.
People who don't know what it's like to grow up in NYC, puerto Rico's San juan metro area or any other city of violence and poverty will never understand what makes these guys self-destructive. It's f**kin easy to point fingers without our own personal lives being under a microscope to be judged.
All i can say is R.I.P., may the lord forgive his transgressions. May those he hurt forgive him, May his soul find forgiveness for those who hurt him. We are all f*ked up, someway, somehow. and if you're thinking in degrees such as... "At least i don't deal drugs or beat my wife"? It further shows your ignorance. Because we don't know what kind of victim he was and what he went through that made him who he was...
Hector Camacho was also a man who stayed with little to give a lot. Believe a quarter of what you hear and half of what you see. If you don't know the man's heart and soul. You don't know sh1t.

RIP Hector "Macho" Camacho. though you were flawed, you were an inspiration to millions of latino's everywhere, you brought lightweight boxing as popular as heavyweight boxing and your record in the sport is one of true historical value.

Lastly he wasn't a drug dealer. He was a cocaine addict.
