===Welterweight and later career=== {{main|Héctor Camacho vs. Roberto Durán|Roberto Durán vs. Héctor Camacho II}} Camacho fought for the [[NWA World Welterweight Championship|World Welterweight Championship]] against [[Félix Trinidad]] (1994) and [[Oscar De La Hoya]] (1997), but he lost both matches by unanimous decisions. On December 5, 2003, Camacho faced Craig Houk. It was an odd fight, as Houk continuously turned his back on Camacho throughout the fight. Camacho had Houk in trouble in the first round before Houk caught an overzealous Camacho with a left hook and floored him, the third knockdown against him in his career. Camacho bounced back up and battered Houk for the remainder of the round. He knocked Houk near the end of the first and eventually won by knockout in round three. He won consecutive unanimous ten-round decisions over Clinton McNeil and Raúl Jorge Muñoz. After that, his boxing career went on hiatus, as he faced criminal charges. He pled guilty to burglary and acknowledged drug abuse, but was given probation. Camacho returned to boxing on July 18, 2008, competing against Perry Ballard for the World Boxing Empire's Middleweight Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2/headlines/EkEyuVpVZlDmebmyyi.html|title=Camacho stops Ballard| publisher=Fightnews.com|date=July 19, 2008|access-date=August 2, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730221324/http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2/headlines/EkEyuVpVZlDmebmyyi.html|archive-date=July 30, 2008}}</ref> The fight lasted seven rounds.
