    Can you explain, my knowlege of Monzon is a bit sketchy. What physical attributes/skills did Monzon have that were greater than Hagler and how do you compare their resumes?
    Their resumes are similar, as Silencers explained. Physically Monzon was truly a monster, just a natural athlete who could party like Mayorga but never show any negative effects from it. He was known to smoke, drink, and have sex right up until the hours before a bout. He was certainly a more patient fighter than Hagler, and possessed somewhat of a "negative" style (I guess one could call this attribute similar to what Hopkins has) that just took the life out of his opponents and slowed the pace of fights to his comfort zone which he was a master in.
