    I know there hardly anything about Carlos monzon to read so im trying to make a very long article about him and put it up on here

    so far heres what i have done for an Intro, need feed back though

    Carlos Monzon

    The icy cold stare of the ex-Middleweight Champion of the World released no emotion. His face was that of a killer - expressionless but determined. His high cheekbones and dark hair gave of an attractive look but also aided in making him look expressionless even scary but it added to the intricate intrigue and mystery which was Monzon.

    In the ring Monzon always kept that expressionless stare at his opponent. That expression never changed as he looked through an oppnent, he was always relaxed. He was like a machine. His style reflected this as he was cold, calcualting and ruthless. In a style which was built around efficiency over aesthetics.

    Monzon has become a very alluring figure for fight fans. Fans appreciate his genius fighting style with his subtle but brilliant skills, that of which has never been seen before. But he is more than just the fighter he exudes a sense of coldness but confidence. He has become almost a cult hero - part of it being for the wrong reasons - he is the ultimate 'bad ass'.

    The Carlos Monzon story is an intriguing one, as the man was a mass of contradictions and an enigma to figure out.

    The man was Monzon

    A good interview, it wasn't that long after the Hagler-Leonard fight. He mentions that he thought Hagler won.

    Monzon had that Indian blood in him, and looked cold, cruel and expressionless. He wasn't a warm, lovable "fuzzball" like Duran and he sure didn't seem to care, either. He's got to be the most mysterious great champion of my lifetime. I can't understand why some Latin writer or filmmaker, especially an Argentine, hasn't already made a movie or written a bio on him, as he's a fascinating character to me, and his ring accomplishments are truly unique, if you ask me, in retiring as champion, reversing his only three defeats and never being stopped.
