    The fighters that went the distance v Monzon didn`t prove they could take Julian Jackson`s bombs like McCallum did.

    McCallum wasn`t hit by a lot of crosses during his career though.

    He would have been hit by Monzon right crosses throughout the night.

    What the **** does this have to do with anything Mark? Mike fighting JJ at 154 is completely different than fighting Monzon at 160 … Mike outclassed JJ and fast, end of story … No one is saying that Monzon needs the power of JJ to outpoint Mike .. the comparison your drawing is ridiculous

    I responded to someone that said Monzon would stop Mike and what I`m pointing out is that Jackson was a harder puncher than Monzon and rocked Mike but couldn`t stop him, even though he came out blasting which Monzon wouldn`t.

    Why? Reach? Jackson`s hands were faster than Monzon`s and he came out swinging missing with 90% of his shots rights hands and all.

    Monzon never fought a natural middle as good as Mike who would have beat Nino B. Monzon never fought a natural middle as good as Toney.

    Why are people acting like Monzon was some physical specimen compared to Mike, that he'd be bossing him around the ring? Don't see that in the least.

    Prime 72 Monzon by KO in 11. He was an absolute monster. Mark is stupider than usual today. Too many gay thoughts shooting thru hiswaterhead.

    I'm guessing you have no clue who Rodrigo Valdez is.
