    I don't know exactly what Monzon was addicted to, but Monzon has plenty of major issues during his career.

    Lopez/Ayala was the 1979 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year. Most who have seen it regard it as a "must see" fight. Ayala's hand speed and "cutie-pie" technique versus Little Red's "come forward and kill ya" style made for one hell of a battle.

    I don't think it could have been any other way for him. I find it unsuprising a fighter 27-0 with 27 ko's was the way he was on the outside. It's very very rare for a in ring menace like Valero to be calm outside of it.

    But for the sake of what you're getting at, yea, it would've been nice to see what would've happened with him in the boxing world.

    Dicky Eklund was consistent in that he never got knocked out. Like they say, crack keeps you on your toes.

    Michael Nunn was known for his love of coke but was one hell of a boxer.
