Dick Tiger VS Carlos Monzon

It was said back in Tiger's day that what it took to beat him was a good trombone player...meaning that it an opponent utilized a long, effective and persistent jab as part of his battle plan...boxed, boxed, boxed, and kept moving, that he could probably beat Dlck Tiger (on points). This was how Joey Giardello, Joey Archer, and Emile Griffith beat him....and that's how Carlos Monzon would beat him too. Tiger was tailor made for Monzon...whose long, hypnotic highly effective jab would either establish distance, set up the right, and just generally gather points all evening. Refer to Monzon-Briscoe ll to get an idea of how the King Carlos could move on the back foot...and effectively throw punches on the retreat. This would be exactly be Monzon's game plan....executed with discipline for 15 rounds. I'm not convinced that Carlos could duplicate Emile Griffith's feat of catching lightning in a bottle by decking Tiger....peak pre-arthritis Monzon could certainly hit a bit harder than Griffith, but whether or not he could replicate a shot like that perfect little doozy of a chopping right hand that Emile decked the Tiger man with is up in the air with me. Carlos Monzon would fight a relatively conservative, smart fight....meaning not standing in front of Tiger and trading...but boxing, and utilizing that trombone, jabbing and moving all night long, with the occasional teeth rattling right hand dropped in for good measure. A wide, comfortable 15 round decision for Monzon is my call.

 

Take up interest in another sport mark ant...you're getting worse and worse.

 

Free huey, the morlocks, and mcvey !!

 

Yeah, free huey,The Morlocks and McVey!!

 

Just about this......

 

Two tough as nails guys .. Monzon would outbox him methodically ... Tiger a bit too slow and one dimensional for Carlos ... to have a shot vs Monzon you needed a serious combo of speed, power, comparable reach and a chin ...

 

Seriously look at Monzon v Briscoe he got caught with a lot of counter jabs and his hands looked slowish.

 

That is a very good analysis of this match my friend.

 

Bottom line, Carlos was a winner, retired as champion,, 14 title defenses, not many middleweight champions can boast of doing that my friend

 

There`s a certain logic to that, sure.

 

"Not much is certain in fantasy discussion"
"Your post is completely illogical"

hhhhmmmm ok then

 

Have you ever actually watched Monzon?

 

Why 12 rounds? These are 15 round fighters. Young middleweight Tiger is a tough out for anybody but I think Monzon would eke out a very close win

 

Is that pronounced "Dwunck"?

So silly that we have to do that. The admins of this place are honestly ridiculous.

 

I would be rooting for Tiger but I see a UD win for Monzon. He simply had more tools in his arsenal than the game but outgunned Tiger.
