Monzon.... Really?
I bet if you ask people here more then 60% of the people will have no idea what your talking about.
Not a lot of people know about the stuff that wen't on outside the ring unless your a hardcore to the bone fan and have read up on it.
Come on Mick,he was sentenced for 11 big,and died in a car wreck
He goes from stopping Bennie and Emile to that?
How can you not remember that?

For me I like to remember Monzon for almost punching off Ninos head with that deadly right hand. My god was that brutal!! :o

Right I know, I didn't say he didn't but ask the avg. fan about Monzons life outside the ring and most avg. fans wont know.
Most fans only know Monzon inside the ring. I'm not saying those things aren't remembered period.
I'm saying that the only people who remember Monzon in that light either witnessed/where around in that time and or hardcore fans who read up a lot.
That's like saying 'Vita' is mostly remembered for how his career and life ended.
I can assure you 'X' & TM that even more then 70% don't know or even remember 'Vita' for that but they remember him more for beating 'Manos De Piedra' and giving him some of the toughest fights he had as a Lightweight.
I just think that what happened with 'Escopeta' & 'Vita' outside of the sport is so shocking & tragic that it really stands out but IMO, I just really don't think fans remember them for that.

Herbie Hide - Did alot at heavy for a small bloke with dodgy whiskers. Best known for flailing around on the floor against Bowe and the Klit.

Terry Marsh - Best known for being a rubbish shot (allegedly) and being loved by VD

.....Hide got KO'd with a JAB from Klitschko

As it stands right now, we can add Ricky Hatton to this list.

How about Barry McGuigan dying in the Nevada desert against a Mexican plumber?

Richie Woodhall.

Hardly anyone has heard of him as a boxer. Instead he is know as a pundit.

Just a 10 year career, He quit after losing to Joe Calzaghe.

Shame.

Doubtful, IMO he'll be more remembered for that night in June and the ferocity in which he fought that night.

I think Hattons got a fairly long way to go if he wants to remembered at all. LOL

Lots of People will remember Trinidad for his non performance against Wright.

Mike Quarry for getting slapped into the 4th dimension by Bob Foster ;D
