How great was Carlos MONZON

[THE THIRD MAN]

Certainly in the Top 3 Middleweights of all time, very tall and had a wicked right hand.
Hagler was lucky to miss him by 12 months or so as i'm sure they would have fought by 1979.
Monzon retired in 1978. Monzon would have beaten Hagler, Hearns and SRL in epic battles!
What a shame he was an Asshole!

i agree he seemed like a A- H in his private life, but there is allways another side to every story, any one know if there are any books on his life story, and his he in the Boxing Hall of Fame?

I've never come across a book about Monzon, strange when you consider his tumultuous life story probably would make a great movie.

It's a pitty too because he was such a great fighter in the ring. He was very versatile, could even fight off his back foot when he needed to. I haven't seen much on him in books, not even Nat Fischer covered much about him.

At least there are a few good articals floating around the net, here's one that I have found a while back: http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/cbzfo...=Carlos+Monzon

Great Article, thanks for that!
