Monzon's last stand.

If Monzon's last fight had of been against a young Marvin Hagler.
Would Marvin of been ready for it?

 

No.

Hagler drew with Vito.....then came back and won the title later against Minter. Hagler became a better fighter the second chance he got at the title.

Monzon would have won by split decision if it had been Monzon's last fight.

 

I do not see Hagler beating a Monzon in 77/78.

For the Marvelous One to have a great chance, he needs to get the time machine into 1979.

 

I think at this stage Tricky Monzon would have been a step too far for Marv , - actually I am not even sure That this young Marv would have beaten the Valdez that Carlos overcame ? ( after the 2 monzon fights and 3 Briscoe fights its little wonder that Roddy was a shell - but the Monzon version of Valdez was nobodies easy meat !)

 

monzon takes it due to haglers immaturity much like the vito fight

 

hagler being more of a slugger and less of a boxer at this point i think monzon busts him up

 

ypu sure i thought hagler was more of a boxer than a slugger through out his career i would never call him a slugger until maybe his last few fights

he was a boxer puncher on his way up and stayed like tha until maybe the mugabi fight

 

Hagler was a boxer at that point of his career.

i'm still convinced hagler eased up on antuofermo in their first fight.
monzon v hagler 1978 is too close to call but overall im going with hagler.
calling him a slugger is an insult !!
