Camacho has never been stopped and has also been in the ring with legends such as Oscar De La Hoya, Felix “Tito” Trinidad and old rival Julio Cesar Chavez.

Saul Duran is a proud Mexican warrior from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua who has twice challenged for world titles. In 1997, he dropped a decision to Stevie Johnston fighting for the lightweight championship of the world. In 1999, he fought to a draw against Takanori Hatakeyama in Tokyo vying to the WBA world super featherweight championship. In 2003, he fought former world champion Jose Luis Castillo.
