Oh boy...that's a tough one. I don't think that I'll dare on guessing who will win it. I can never count Hopkins out and then again Monzon was Monzon.

Re: Carlos Monzon vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.
I have never seen Monzon box but read about him as a fine rangy boxer with a big right hand. Hopkins gets the job done winning on points.

Re: Carlos Monzon vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.
There are a good few of his fights that you MUST watch. I really didn't think much of him at first as he is hardly ever glorified and if he gets any coverage it's usually very brief but you only have to watch a few of his fights to understand what a monster he was. 'Fine' and 'rangey' are just gross understatements.Originally Posted by Master

Easy UD for Monzon.
Hopkins is not even on Taylor's level, so how the heck should he stand a chance against a monster like Monzon.

Re: Carlos Monzon vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.
Oh please. Monzon was almost stopped by an already ancient Briscoe, had to work his ass off with a long in the tooth Griffith twice and managed to stop an over the hill Napoles 2 divisions out of his weight class. The only other legit contender he fought was Benvenuti twice and the first one was fight of the year against a guy who had close to 90 fights. Monzon is one of the most overrated middle weights that ever lived.
Re: Carlos Monzon vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.
Carlos Monzon had a very basic boxing style, a bit like Kelly Pavlik with the jab/right hand. Although obviously Carlos Monzon is better than Kelly Pavlik, but from what i've seen from Carlos Monzon. I can't see him dealing with the slick B-Hop and i see Carlos Monzon losing a pretty clear decision.

Re: Carlos Monzon vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.
Flopkins is together with Toney the most overrated boxer of the last 20 years. If he is so great why are so many of his fights so close? Taylor is no world-beater but he went on top with Hopkins. Hopkins was humiliated by featherfisted Calzaghe and only the notorious racist judge Adalaide Byrd saved him from a devastating defeat. He was faking and holding like a child in that fight. Disgusting.
He beat a Pavlik there should have been on a rehap-center instead of a in a boxing-ring. No deal.
