Carlos Monzon vs Canelo Alverez?

Do it and I will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine!!!

 

Hagler stops Canelo.

 

No.

 

I just heard these 2 beauties about Chuck the other day:

Chuck Norris can hear sign language

When Chuck is aboard a ship that's leaving port, the sip doesn't get underway, Chuck tells the pier to kick rocks

BTW - nothing screams "Chuck Norris" like jean pants and jacket, red mullet and beard, and twin uzi's shooting dead-accurate from the hip.

 

Chuck Norris' guns don't come with a safety switch, nobody is safe with Chuck.

 

Monzon Pts if twelve rounds stops him if 15

 

We're talking about an extremely heavy-handed southpaw with a 75" reach. Hagler's jab was lethal. And one of the smoothest switch hitters Ever. Canelo doesn't have the tools. He would be battered into submission.

 

For once I agree with 22JM. Canelo is absolute granite-chinned, very good defensively, and his own combinations are good enough imho to earn Hagler's respect. I think Hagler wins, but he won't knock ginger out. No ways. And that's coming from a guy that isn't exactly putting Canelo's picture up on his wall.

 

I think it's actually a case of conditioning as well as power. Canelo getting wired by jabs, hooks and the like from Hagler would have Nelo breathing heavy, and I don't think he can take Hagler's artillery whilst gassed.

 

Definitely agree. Canelo has experienced stamina issues in multiple bouts. Hagler was always in peak condition. Hagler would be too much to handle.

 

Hagler was well and truly awesome, he'd decimate the division today, and beat everyone since he fought IMO.

 

This is a fascinating fight. I would love Monzon to win it, firstly because I have immense respect for the Fighter he was and second because Alvarez annoys me to death. The MC could announce his opponents as "A very game loser" before the first bell the way judges "See" his fights.
Carlos would find it tough here I think. Alvarez is built like a tank but he doesn't just eat shots, he slips and catches well and he's always working. No breathers for Monzon.
An awful lot of Monzon's punches will half land and slip off Alvarez's shoulders as he closes the range quickly and goes to Monzon's long body. Once inside Canelo can whip short punches over the top.
For sure Alvarez will pay a price coming in and many of the rounds will be on a hair's breadth but I can see Canello's work rate and stamina getting him in here as he'll happily chug along at a hard pace all night.
I'd pay good money to watch this one and root for Monzon all the way.
