I wasn't the only teen in the 1980's who put on Boxing gloves and immitated the "MACHO TIME" strut into an amateur boxing ring in N.Y.C. Hector Camacho was an inspiration to any young kid who remotely looked like him anywhere in the world. At a time where most Latinos did their best to look more caucasion, Macho Camacho embraced his ethnic "Borinquen" look and his "New Yorican" accent. It was hard not to like him no matter how arrogant he was after, all the more arrogant you are the more "Macho" you are. I was terribly saddened to hear about what has happened to my childhood and teenage boxing idol. I remember how badly he was talked about when he had to be talked down from a ledge in the 80's after having a nervous breakdown and feeling sorry for him. None of us know what that Man has been through, but those of us from the inner-city had an idea. For one Hector Camacho was a victim of his "Time", he came to fame at the exact time that Crack Cocaine was created in the Bronx (New York). Macho's heart was always with the people. His flare and eccentricity was a gift. Macho would dress as an Indian Chief, a Bullfighter, and of course in elaborate Puerto Rican flags, Macho's entrance song of "Soul Macousa" always struck a nerve of his Loyal Puerto Rican fans as a call for Solidarity. Hector Camacho will always be remembered as the only Champion to ever wear the Championship belt and 'Belts" as part of his dress attire in thestreets of Spanish Harlem. They don't make Men or Champions like him anymore. Rest in Peace Mr. Camacho. You will always be my Champion.
