Fascinating... If you subsequenty chose to limit that list to an "elite" 10, which 7 would fail to make the cut?

I knew I would see Gatti on a lot of list,but I didn't think I would Carlos Monzon and Julio Cesar Chavez on so many.

I have always loved Carlos Monzon.

I have always loved Carlos Monzon.

I think Monzon is an acquired taste. I had read about him before I saw him on video and was hugely disappointed when I first watched him. I thought he was slow, stiff and inelegant but the more I watched him the more his brilliance shone through. Monzon-Benvenuti I is one of the great middleweight world title fights, only ruined slightly by the quality of the video for this fight, a problem for most Monzon fights.
