    Yeah i agree the best ever middleweight, he should of went after foster and conteh at lightheavyweight, monzon use to spar heavyweights and was 6 foot 1 so he would of been big and strong enougth, i think monzon would of beat conteh and foster

    It was only in Monzon's first year as a pro, and he was being thrown in with guys that were much more experienced than him. Within a few years, those same guys couldn't handle him.

    He was also hurt badly by Bennie Briscoe in their second fight. I think Monzon is a top three middleweight but I think he's a bit overrated H2H wise.

    I personally rate Monzon the best ever middle (certainly in my own time), as do many others.

    Heard an interview last night with Australia's great middleweight of the 70's Tony Mundine. Mundine fought many of the greats including Monzon, Griffith, Briscoe, Moyer, Stirling, Rodriguez etc.

    When asked how hard Monzon hit Mundine said he didn't rate his power that highly. But he did say that he rated Briscoe the biggest puncher he ever faced.

    (he must also rate Luis Rodriguez pretty highly though as Rodriguez KO'ed him inside the first minute of their bout).

    Monzon was the greatest middleweight champion, period.

    Monzon was 5 feet eleven and a half inch tall, as I told you before.
    I would not fancy his chances against either of those you mentioned.
