Default Bernard Hopkins vs Carlos Monzon

How do we think Hopkins would do against Monzon??????

Monzon lost a few fights early in his career back in Argentina early 60's. Never lost again in whole career which ended in 77!!! Sort of like Hopkins! he lost in the early 90's and hasn't since!

Monzon may be too strong for Hopkins, but I am not going to be so sure of it! I do know that Hopkins hasn't faced anyone like him!

Monzon by UD. Carlos had a long reach, awkward style, and he was as strong as an Ox. His ability to fight from range and drop those long right hands over Hopkins jab would be the difference. It'd be a close fight though.

I agree Monzon would be a little better than Hopkins.

I can see this fight going two ways, both ending up with Hopkins the victor. But if I had to choose I'd pick Hopkins by KO 4, similar to Naseem Hamed vs. Kevin Kelley.

Monzon was a bull! Hopkins couldn't put away Trinidad that easily! Hopkins could win by decision if he fought a smart fight! Hopkins doesn't have the punching power to end it that way! The Hamed analogy is way off! If anything, Hopkins would be Kelley and Monzon would be Hamed! Good fight though!

monzon stopped? why? how? ever seen him fight?
his style was not easy to deal with and his chin was really good

I can see the fights go both sides of a decision

Hopkins would have to fight the perfect fight to win by decision. Otherwise Monzon will KTFO.

Monzon does enough to pinch close rounds with that elegant style and wins a competitive UD
