All much better than Canelo?
Right.
Napoles had more scar tissues in his forehead than fighting pitbulls. Did not win at 160.
Griffith was way passed his prime when he fought Carlos. Barely .500 after he fought him.
Rodrigo Valdez ? Lost to freaking Hugo Corro. Voted as one of the worst middleweight champs ever .Comment

Because he’s moving up and challenging his self you ******. Moving up in weight has nothing to do with defending your title against retired bums who haven’t won a fight in three years you mentally challenged ******. Are you really that dumb inbred? When did I say that a middleweight beating a light heavyweight don’t mean anything? Show me where I typed that you pea brain b1tch. I said a middleweight beating a fighter who has NEVER fought at middleweight shouldn’t be respected. Obviously there’s exception to that rule depending on the quality of opponent. If GGG would of beat a HOF welterweight or jr middleweight then you’d have a point. Now stfu and stop suck1ng ggg d1ck weirdoComment

In between their fights, Valdes fought a 5-9 and a 4-13.
In between their fights, Benvenuti lost to Jose Roberto Chirino.
Napoles was a welterweight, and was so much so smaller he weighed in at 7 pounds less than Monzon at their fight.
Briscoe wasn't exactly on a winning streak. Had just lost to a 18-17-5 guy.
Griffith was good, but did have quite a few losses.Comment

Monzon's defenses were mostly all of the undisputed middleweight championship. Important to know that.
Valdez was not one of the worst champions ever. So what he lost to Corro? Different era's but losses at the end of your career especially in those days after long, hard careers and more fights aren't unforgivable. Same applies for Griffith. He was still a great fighter and it's common in those days after multiple hard fights that the fighters could age after a huge fight loss and lose to some guys they'd have licked prior. I'd still rate the Griffith win over the Canelo win.
Monzon also beat Bennie Briscoe. Briscoe was a bad man. He'd have been a good champion in the modern 3, 4 belt era.
Nino Benvenutti was a great, great fighter and champion. He's a much better fighter than Canelo will ever be. Monzon wrecked him.
On top of all the numbers, the resume etc; was the fact Monzon was a complete fighter with tremendous ring IQ. Not blessed with tremendous speed or agility but a masterful boxer who was accurate, hit hard and had such timing that he could outbox or out **** most in history. He's arguably a top 20 of all-time on a pound for pound scale.
GGG has some pathetic and idiotic haters that let out their inner child when it comes to him but it's also asinine to compare him to fighters like Monzon.Comment
