Conteh v Monzon

[Quarry]

Did you know that John Conteh would have fought Carlos Monzon if only a 10,000 pound fine for Monzon failing to take a urine test after his Napoles fight in Paris would have been lifted by the EBU in 1975. who would have won and how would the fight go.

Depends on the weight. At 175 I would have to pick Conteh. At 160 I'm not picking anybody in history to beat Monzon. And that includes glass jaw Roy Jones jr.

It wasn't exactly fantastic. It was because he was past his best that his chin got exposed to flush shots and he fell. Whether his chin was actually worse we will never know.

I know it wasn't fantastic,but too call it 'glass' is ridiculous,jones took a fair few punches when he was in his prime too,he wasnt unhittable like some people make out

Because he can't take a punch. I said this years ago when Jones was in his prime clowning and doing his stupid chicken dances in the ring. I knew once he got hit he would fold up like a cheap suit.

I seriously doubt a slow, crude Monzon who didn't exactly have huge power would be the one to expose Jones' "glass" jaw.

He wasn't Stanley Ketchell or Julian Jackson, but Monzon had very heavy hands.

Ok,well until you show me some evidence of a prime Jones hurt or knocked out in his prime then you really dont have much of a point,i would show you some evidence on the contrary,but i really dont think it would matter too you

he was hurt against Del Valle, although that was only one instance and he wasnt too messed up from the punch.

I dont think Roy had a very good chin, but it wasnt god awful, and its much easier said than done to hit the guy flush.

also, he was only about 34/35 years old when he started getting KOed. generally a fighter loses their punch resistance when theyve taken too much damage...that was the exact opposite of how Roy's career went. when his reflexes were diminishing he started getting hit more, and when he started getting hit more...well. ktfo.

but every fighter is different.
