Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Carlos Monzon

[The Jackal]

This would be a classic match up, Ray was very good middleweight, he had brillants wins over Lamottax4,Rocky Graziano,Gene Fullmer,Carmen Basilio, and more and was a 5 time champion,And Monzon was a outstanding Middlweight unbeaten at the weight for 13 years, never losing his title retired champion making 14 defences of his title with victories over the likes Rodrigo Valdezx2,Jose Napoles,Emile Griffithx2,Bennie Briscoe,Nino Benvenutix2. Now with both boxers styles being so different Robinson with his brillant footwork, movement, combination punching, and boxing brain, vs Monzon's 6'2 frame, and his frekish strenghth, and his abilty to get stronger as the rounds wore on, and also his unbreakable will. Both had great chins also.So my prediction would have to be if both turned up in great shape and Monzon did not have to drain himslef weight cutting, a Monzon UD win. This being even do Ray was a great middlweight and think Monzon was a better one, yes ray did win the title 5 times but that also means he lost it five times to Turpin,Fullmer, Basilio,Pender,and once giving up to go to light heavyweight and Ray's best was welterweight.So i think both men come and the first couple of round are pretty even with robinson using footwork and movement to edge out Mozon, but as the fights were's on Mozon gets stronger and as ray starts to tire Monzon applys more pressure even buckling Ray a few times to a UD.

Good point but Monzon wouldn't want to be draing himself like he did for Griffith-2 he would have to have a great camp & hit peak at the right time if Monzon uses his strength on the inside for the opening rounds establish his jab he would be very hard to break down to look at Monzon you would think his easy to beat but his not as we know he has 1 of the best jabs in business & strong straight rights & combo's anything can work of a jab like that it has to be Monzon but lets not forget Robinsons heart he would bring everything out of Monzon & Monzon would have to call on everything in the arsenal + his defencive skills & good footwork it would be a great fight but it would kill bought of them Monzon get UD because his bigger stronger & better defensive skills & a jab that can control a fight well as for Robinson he would be let down because of his defensive skills not up to par with Monzon plus he hasn't got the reach that Monzon has he would in-fight all night against a bigger opponent & an excellent boxer he gives everything as he always does but he'd be edge out
