What made carlos monzon so good?

[lidsy]

One of the truly greats. Fantastic assets and use of them. Great dimensions for a middleweight - tall with long arms. Utilised these with a great jab and straight right and keeping out of range of opponents arsenal. Coupled with this a great ring brain and a fantastic distance fighter winning most of the late rounds.

He smoked like two packs of cigs even when training. He would stop during roadwork to take a smoke break. The guy was an amazing freak of nature and his hardpartying and playboy life didn't effect his Stamina. He partied harder than Mayorga, Morrison and Vinny Paz combined. Check his Napoles fight out to check out how great he is. At his best No Middleweight in History could beat Monzon. Valdes is one of the most unlucky fighters in history, a guy who had all the tools and could have been champ any other time except then. Monzon was the real deal.
