    With all the interest in Carlos Monzon on this site and others, it is amazing to me that a comprehensive English language biography of the greatest middleweight ever has not been written.

    Does any one know if one of the leading boxing writers plans to do so?

    I been saying this for years. The out of ring stuff is there and he's probably on of the most mysterious great modern champions.

    Someone shold get it done.

    I agree. The stories about his out of the ring escapades would be great. I know one of his wives shot him and he romanced a bunch of european movie actresses. This background along with his fights and his upbringing in Argentina would be great to read about. I heard in his youth he was a pimp.
