"In yet another skillful excavation of a dazzling Latino champion,
Christian Giudice...follows Hector 'Macho' Camacho from his
embattled childhood in Spanish Harlem, to the heights of his
electrifying yet too-brief stardom and onto his abject end by hail
of gunfire in a carful of cocaine. It is a compelling
journey."-Mark Kram Jr., author of Smokin' Joe: The Life of Joe
Frazier Hector Camacho lived fast, and his fists flew even faster
in the ring. Handsome, flamboyant, and outspoken, Camacho
electrified the boxing scene of the 1980s and, shouting his mantra
"Macho Time", he beat some of the greatest fighters of his
generation. But his high-speed life caught up with him eventually
and tragically when he was shot dead outside a nightclub in Puerto
Rico at the age of fifty. Macho Time is written by Christian
Giudice, author of Hands of Stone, the definitive biography of
Roberto Duran, which was made into the motion picture of the same
name starring Robert De Niro. Macho Time is the first biography of
Hector Camacho Sr. Camacho's son, Hector Camacho Jr., also a
professional boxer, worked closely with author Christian Giudice to
give him unprecedented access and insight into this complex man. I
thought I was cocky. Camacho surpasses me by three or four levels.
But when Camacho brags, he's not trying to convince you of
anything; he's just telling you what's going to happen."-Sugar Ray
Leonard, from the pages of Macho Time "He would give me a hug and a
kiss, then he would sit on the couch and make everyone laugh so
hard. He had such good energy and spirit. He brought such joy to
people whenever he entered a room. It was a gift."-Hector Camacho
Jr., from Afterword of Macho Time
