    Because there were rumours that Hearns was trying to get off with Emile Griffith. Valdez, Griffith's former lover and lifetime friend, was not happy.

    So your hatred for Hagler is rooted in what?

    I'm just getting lonelier and lonelier out here, first I pick Bowe over Lewis, then Monzon over Jones, now it's Hagler over Monzon.

    Then again, prime Hagler over any Monzon, but not the 1977 versions. Monzon would have earned a decision had he fought Hagler in lieu of Valdez. One word: experience. "Age and guile defeat youth and speed."

    After the Monroe Loss, Hagler was ready to win the title. He would have defeated Monzon anytime after that until around the Mugabi fight.

    He beat Bertha up once too often. She's my second cousin (on my dad's side).

  9. i agree on that monzón would beat hagler by ud. but ali was more dominant and he had better rivals. liston,patterson,frazier, norton,foreman,quarry,ellis,moore.
    they were better than benvenuti,middle weight emille, briscoe,valdez,mantequilla napoles ..

    Nah, monzon would have something for him with those tactics.Hagler has to utilise the jab to make this competitive

    Monzon close UD . Monzon is past prime and Hagler is still green . Would have been amazing for Monzons resume for Hagler to go on and dominate as he did.

    Word for word,practically,what I would say.
     
  15. Prime vs prime probably carlos would win and at that point probably monzÓn would win too. Carlos was stronger, bigger, with a good jab, good chin,he was a savage,he had heart,stamina...i can see no motive to say carlos would not win
