Amanda posted a tweet, remembering boxing legend, Hector Camacho. He was a world champion in three weight classes. ‘Macho’ Camacho was known for his quickness in the ring and flamboyant style.

In the video shared, Hector says, “I am the best pound-to-pound fighter in the world.”
Hector stepped inside the ring to the chants of “Macho Man.” Hector fell prey to his own will.
