    Monzon could be hit, and Fitz COULD HIT.

    Same height basically...Monzon longer reach.

    Monzon's smoking isn't going to help going up against a Blacksmith.

    Fitz by TKO in 12.

    I think Monzon loses because of his smoking.

    You got it buddy....gotta keep the lungs in shape if you fight someone who breathes liquid iron for a living.

    Monzon had a tough chin, but a glass plexus

  5. :lol: monzon way too good for someone who was outboxed by corbett. thats exactly what this contest is, a pro boxer versus a blacksmith plus fitz is severely restricted by the wedgie his g-string gives him

    monzon ud 15 g-string boy

    The downside of the Corbett situation is Corbett got k.o.'ed when Fitz connected.

    Monzon has the stylistic advantage here, if he can keep the match at a distance. Fitz has the advantage on the inside and in power. Yet another advantage is that Fitz fought Men who were much stronger then Monzon, or anyone Monzon faced. This one is hard to call for me. If Monzon can keep it on the outside, box, use the Ring, he can beat Fitz. This fight can turn quickly though with a couple clean shots from Fitz to the belly or head. And Monzon will get hit. Hmmm.... I'll go with Fitz due to his inside fighting skills, power, stamina, via 14th rd. KO.

    To be fair, consuming liquid iron can't be too good for your lungs either. Sure, it makes you look badass, but than smoking makes you look cool. See, look how cool he is

    That coolness is practically insurmountable, even for a blacksmithing God like Fitz.

    I like Fitz by late KO/TKO. His freakish power gradually breaks Carlos down.
