Dam, he was one of my favorite boxers. I know he had many issues, drugs, domestic violence, but he always entertained me. Even as he got older. RIP if they pull they pull the plug

I grew up under Camacho, when I was a kid. He used to drive his bright yellow Ferrari and park it right on the street in East Harlem. When I was a kid he was the first celebrity I ever seen, touched and talked to. He was there in el barrio for everyone to talk to. He was not this distant star or celebrity that would be surrounded by 10 body guards. Everyone knew Camacho.

I will miss him.

I can tell...you had something personal with this, i put two and two together.

They pulled the plug on Saturday. RIP Macho Time

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Former championship boxer Hector ''Macho'' Camacho died Saturday at the hospital in Puerto Rico where he has been unconscious since he was shot in the face in an attack in his hometown.

Camacho went into cardiac arrest in the pre-dawn hours and he was then taken off life support and died shortly thereafter, said Dr. Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Medico trauma center in San Juan.

Camacho's mother, Maria Matias, said Friday night that she had supported removing him from life support after his three sons had arrived from the U.S. mainland and had a chance to see their father for the last time. They managed to visit him before he died, said former pro boxer Victor ''Luvi'' Callejas, a longtime friend.

''The family is destroyed,'' Callejas said outside the hospital.

Doctors had declared Camacho brain dead on Thursday. Matias had said she decided it was time for doctors to disconnect life support over the objections of the boxer's eldest son, Hector Jr., because there was no chance of recovery.

''I lost my son three days ago. He's alive only because of a machine,'' she said Friday night. ''My son is not alive. My son is only alive for the people who love him,'' she added.

Torres said that none of the boxer's organs could be donated because of the time between when he was declared brain dead and his death after going into cardiac arrest for the second time since the shooting.
