How would Carlos Monzon fair today?

[Canelo Phresh]

total dominance

More like total avoidance.

I really couldn't see Hopkins or Monzon beat each other clean. If theirs a will theirs a way thats just how hopkins fights. He will find some way to make you uncomfortable making you fight his dogfight. Hopkins would steal rounds make it interesting back at middleweight he had speed and pop and was young with good cardio so he didn't have to be as ugly to slow opponents down. Shame his middleweight years are always forgotten and mistaken for his savvyness and ugly ring generalship late in his career. Only man who could possibly win clean over Hopkins is roy who schooled green hopkins but his speed was something else hopkins still have a hard time touching him. Either Hopkins or Monzon gets the gift and the other complained. I'm sure they'd fight a few times. Roy Jones vs Monzon is interesting. If anybody could have touched him and tested and cracked that chin at middleweight its monzon.

Sergio has capitalized on the young reckless and raw weak middleweights of this era. He hasn't fought a world class technician close to his level. Wish we could have seen him vs prime Winky, Trinidad, hopkins and the jermain Taylor that have Hopkins hell with that jab.

Why do we not have fighters of this caliber today?

There are, just not at Middleweight.

Monzon is one of the greatest Middleweights ever, there aren't many Middleweights up to his calibre ever, not just now.

Chavez Jr would be fighting in Europe.

The WBC would refuse to rank Monzon so Chavez would be safe.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are not his caliber either. Monzon is nearly on my all-time P4P top ten list.
