Carlos Monzon vs Michael Nunn At MW

Monzon lands the right at will and forces Nunn on his bike and still gets stopped late

 

Maybe I'm missing something. Mod-mania can tell us. I agree with you look at the fights. Mozon could not handle speed well, and was lucky not to fight many punchers or quick handed opponent his size.

 

If you're going to beat top shelf ATG's at their best you'd better have some intangibles there.

 

Agreed.

He obviously did the business, but he's basic to look at.

Nunn looked a thousand times more impressive.

 

Nunn would have outclassed him.

 

Why at will? Nunn was sloppy but faster than all of Monzon`s opponents, he would have countered Monzon`s right hand pretty well.

 

Nunn would have found it easier to out-class Benn than Monzon.

 

One helluva smart post! One of the most perceptive posts I've ever read on Nunn, in fact - and I've read hundreds. Big Nunn admirer here (even own a M Nunn t shirt) but, like yourself, and for the same reasons, I don't see him beating Monzon. Monzon's intelligence, steadiness, will to win, and phenomenal stamina make the difference here. Monzon is one of the greatest Bosses in boxing history.

 

Excellent post! My only difference is I think Monzon gets Nunn outta there within 12.

 

Peak Nunn is one of the most athletically gifted boxers I've ever seen and I think he is much tougher than he is often given credit for. I can definitely see him winning rounds against Monzon. Don't think he would beat a peak Monzon, though. Don't think any middleweight of the past 50 years would beat a peak King Carlos.

 

Agreed, Nunn definitely wins some rounds and had underrated toughness.

Monzon is too slow. Nunn UD

 

Monzon`s feet were too slow, Nunn`s hands were quicker too plus Monzon ate a lot of counter jabs, I feel Nunn would out-point him.
