    Yes. I enjoyed watching George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko, and Wladimir Klitschko.

    I choose to believe a random guy on twitter vs anything ESPN has to say.

    Camacho was gravely injured in a drive-by shooting in Puerto Rico on Tuesday night. Torres said that Camacho suffered a heart attack at 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday.

    "There has not been any improvement," Torres said. "His heart has stopped working. We can give him medicine and his heart will pump again. There is brain activity, but very low. The neurological equipment is not being used. Right now, we can't do anything," Torres said.


    "We are keeping him alive with medicine. He is a strong guy. We can maintain him several days like this to see if there is an improvement. Macho's situation is very delicate. The prognosis is very poor," Torres said.


    Camacho, 50, was a passenger in a car driven by his lifelong friend, Alberto Yamil Mojica. They were sitting in a parked car outside a bar when someone opened fire on them, killing the driver. Camacho was shot in the jaw by a bullet that fractured two vertebrae and lodged in his shoulder, doctors said.

    The shooting occurred near a popular shopping mall on Highway 167 in Bayamon, a suburban town west of the capital of San Juan.

    Police have yet to make arrests or determine a motive in the attack
