How did Carlos Monzon achieve what he did?

Monzon was a beast, he was tall and that right hand was paralyzing, he had an iron jaw and had he bothered to train properly would have been even more formidable. He smoked, he drank, screwed anything that moved and was shot by his wife in 1973! He virtually didn't start training for a fight until just a few weeks before. I think he would've beaten Hagler down over 12 rounds, they just missed each other by about 18 months. Someone has to make a movie about Monzon, the story is incredible, it doesn't need much embellishment. As a fighter, he is the last guy you wanna see on the other side of the ring.
