Your thoughts on Carlos Monzon?

[Barn]

Stanley Ketchel, Marvin Hagler and Carlos Monzon are very hard to split for the greatest middleweight tag

What about Greb?

[SBleeder]

Top 10 pound for pound all time, and the second greatest middleweight of all time (Greb is number one).

[Joey Giardello]

The greatest Middleweight of all time

[Barn]

I have him Top 3 Middleweight alongside Greb, Hagler but, the order changes all the time.
On a P4P list I have him at around 27 I think.
Heavy Bag has already mentioned all the key points Good Post.

In my opinion the greatest Middleweight of all time. His record & dominace is really incredible.

He was the number #1 Middleweight for 7 straight years. And made 14 defences of his title over a 7 year reign. His record in world title fight's was 14-0 with 11 KO's. And retired champion.

He could handle all style's, whether it be pressure fighters, big punchers, techincal boxers, or boxer/puncher's. Out of a 100 fights, he lost just 3, and avenged them all.

His style may not look pretty on footage, but he done everything right and was so patient & composed in the ring. He was as tough as nails and hit like a ton of bricks. His could knock you out (Benvanuti I), put on a boxing clinic (Briscoe II), or just slowy break you down (Tony Licata).

He beat 2 All Time Great's in Emille Griffith & Jose Napoles, Hall Of Famer Nino Benvanuti, and top contenders like Bennie Briscoe, Rodrigo Valdez, Tony Licata, & Denny Moyer.

I don't know too much about him, just wondering if any of the historians here could tell me their thoughts.

Eg resume, skills, where he ranks in p4p/mw lists?
