Well no...this thread is perfect for guys like you so you udnerstand taht Argentina did produce many other great, tough, hard hitting boxers....
Yes I understand that, and know of several Argentinian boxers myself like Laciar, Coggi & Galingdez(spelling?), but I was meaning even if they did not have others Monzon would redeem the country by himself.
Who did.....in boxing period....for that matteratsch ..so far that reason your are going to denied all the great from Argentina...atsch
Orisha, I was in Buenos Aires a week ago talking it up with some old time boxing fans. I asked one of them (old man in his 70s) about Monzon killing his girl, and he said that it was all a big miscommunication, that Monzon was just checking her pulse on the balcony. People in Argentina are proud of their fighters, and your right, it goes beyond Monzon.
Erm, noatsch Youre getting the wrong end of the stick..I was merely meaning Carlos was so great he sums up Oh never mind..I already mentioned guys like Coggi and Laciar which you did not, but........Never mind, im out.
Erm...I did mentioned SAntos Laciar and Juan Martin also....atsch ... Mentioning Monzon as the sole representative of Argentiniens boxing, is like saying for USA boxing....all you have to say is Ali...come on dude....atsch
This is a misscomunication. Boydsmith is simply saying that Monzon is the essence of boxing in Argentina, or that he is the fighter most associated with boxing from that country. You are saying that Argentina has a deep pool of great fighters. Your both right, and need to stop acting like chicks. :yep:smoke
Absolutely they are proud of the boxing heritage......BTW....Monzon was a jelous mother ****er about his italian actress.....
All you guys got alzheimers?How could anyone forget Jorge Castro?Nobody saw his fight with John David Jackson(Ring Magazine Fight of the year '94);he stopped Jackson in 9.He has at least 130 career wins,which might be a modern record and I think he might still be fighting.
Carlos Baldimar:good Seriously those men from Argentina are tough as hell, what's in the water down there???:huhall of those guy's have iron in their jaws..and can take massive amounts of punishment.....:hey
