Great fighter & probably the most powerful of the midleweights; just don't see Hagler, Leonard, or Hearns, staying with this guy, and yes, even the great Sugar Ray Robinson; too strong & lanky &, well, just too large even though a middleweight. Size matters when there's skill too.
Ouch! it reminds me of the pain "Machine Gun" TOny Licata inflicted on me in Boston's Hynes Auditorium 1970, stopping me in 8 after going 10 rounds in his home town of New Orleans the month previous. Tony passed away several years ago. Would love to address his wife and family on this if anyone can provide me an address...thank you...blessings...john t. coiley
He did not smoke 5 packs a day, he did not smoke at all during training and he did a lot more than spar in training. Incredible fighter, but let's not add crap to his legend.
Monzon is often called the "greatest natural fighter"; smoked 5 packs a day, would cut down to 2 packs when training, would seldom run, 90% of his training just involved sparring. Just a natural born fighter. Greatest middleweight ever.
well if he had someone like hagler or Jones around I can guarantee he wouldnt be smoking and still win those fight becuz this guy is slow as molasses. sorry but it's so obvious!
Hagler or Jones? 2 contrastingly different styles. Hagler wasn't known for his great speed; where as Jones was. Once again Hagler struggled vs a lightweight in Duran; now do you honestly believe Monzon would of struggled against any lightweight in history? Absolutely Not!
As for Jones? fast hands alot of it was pitter/patter and with a sub-par chin; eventually in a 15 or even 12 rd. fight. He could run but he can't hide.
No I dont think Carlos would struggle with Duran. Hearns with the dimensions of Monzon blew him away.
Now, had Thomas hearns fucked Hagler up in that fight, I would go along and jump on the Monzon bandwagon but seeing as how Marvin is capable of launching an attack that I've never seen anyone else do, I'm going to pick Hagler. Anyone that is capable of fighting with this level of intensity has to be favored no matter who the opponent. Monzon I dont know how he's scoring on a southpaw
No, Roy Jones does not pity pat. Ive seen Roy drop several men with body shots delivered from either hand. I've even seen him knock out men, gasping in pain from the body shot. I've seen him destroy many men with pin point accurate combinations. Trust me, Monzon has no chance here either
you kidding, rigth? yes Monzon was slow,but He dominate the distance better than nobody and his constant 1-2 is a demolition work,I don't think Jones survive Monzon...
No estoy de acuerdo. Monzon si bien era algo lento, mantenía muy bien la distancia con sus largos brazos, y era mucho mas potente que Hagler o Jones. Yo creo que a los 2 los ponía KO.
Now, my spanish isn't very good so I don't really know what you said
I read off ESB that Monzon used to smoke during the time he prepared for a fight but being that most of what I read from those forums is a bunch of crap anyhow, it probably isnt true
@judaschongo ---never knew those facts. truly amazing. Prob was the ghreatest, although a fight with hagler would have been very interesting. Monzon personally was an absolute brute of a guy though. Will never win any character awards.
Monzon was truely the greatest.Somewhat underappreciated in the U.S., maybe due to the fact that he only had one fight here.Perfectly built at 160 lbs,he was a cold blooded killer who nevertheless always was a true sportsman via the Licata and valdez slips when he refused to capitalize. Widely recognised as a great boxer with a solid jab and awsome combinations, I believe he also was a great inside fighter which is totally overlooked. He also had a great chin and could take body shots all day...
great point on the inside fighting observation! I've always thought the same thing; considering his arms were long he'd really let them go in the short distance.
Tony AKA Anthony Bruce was an awesome man with alot of heart. I know this because I am his cousin, but he was more like a big brother to me. May he rest in peace & be with his love, Mona 4-ever.
Yes he really was amazing boxer. Interesting that especially americans can't understand why he was so great. His punches looks so slow but dear me they were heavy and and so accurate.
he got some guts!!
