Monzon only began training about 3 weeks before a major fight, he smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish and screwed anything that moved, this behaviour also got him shot by his then wife. Yet, he still managed to beat the crap out of every one he fought. Benvenuti was no bum and Monzon made him look second rate, i can't see how anyone can say Monzon didn't look that great when he never lost his last 80 fights and was unbeaten for the last 13 years of his career? Hagler was lucky he retired when he did.
