Greatest Latino Fighters Ever

[Orishaman]

Sooo, you're saying Chavez's juevos weren't as big as Durans.

That was funny...and yes he might just be saying that but Duran was stright to the best type of boxer, he had balls and eventhough it took me a while to forgive him for No Mas, I do have strong understanding the why it happened and the history before the fight just to make weight....

Duran on his prime v. JCC at his prime, was a no contest Duran by KO and a brutal at that, JCC cut easily and Duran would have fillet him appart with fast jab, heavy quick combos that JCC WOULD NOT EVEN DREAM...

Duran seldom get credit for his boxing ability a master boxer he had it all....

again that is based on accomplishements and monzon dodged hagler, what does that tell you. He choose to defend his belt against lesser opponents when he knew hagler was supposed to get the title shot.

Hagler wasn't the #1 contender at that time. Just for the record, I have Hagler better then Monzon myself.

Just for the record, Hagler fought 17 top 10 contenders in his career and Monzon fought 15.

Rodrigo Valdez was more regarded than Marvin Hagler at the time.

If anything, Carlos Monzon ducked Valdez to fight lesser guys, since he lost a belt because of it. Then he fought Valdez when they stripped Monzon of the WBC belt.

JCC by devastating KO, within 3

he was deserving of a shot though, i say around 77 he should have got it.

But that doesn't mean Monzon ducked him by retiring.

He could've just wanted to retire from the sport and lead a life of flinging women from balconies.

When a fighter retires on top, on the rare occassions, there's always some contenders out there he didn't fight.

If Monzon stayed around, he would have fought Hagler. Monzon retired like Marciano did, at the top of their game.

Hagler and Monzon cross path at the very tail end of Maonzon carrer, and BTW, Rodrigo Valdez was supposed to be the big bad monster that dethrone the great Monzon and well as we all know....Monzon totally outclass the big bad monster......twice......in the 2nd fight go up from a nasty KD to win by UD in 15 rounds....

If Monzon stayed around, he would have fought Hagler. Monzon retired like Marciano did, at the top of their game.

if marciano could have added johanssen and patterson to his resume, he would have been top 3-5 in my eyes.

i own the latin legends dvd and in that chavez says without hesitation the duran was the best latino fighter of alltime, duran was years past his prime when he fought hearns just like leanord was years past his prime when he fought terry norris, chavez was the same age duran was when e was getting domianted by delahoya
