    Mike Casey, if you view this site, please write a comprehensive biography about Carlos Monzon. Your Cyberboxing Zone articles on Monzon show tremendous insight about this great champion. A high quality Monzon bio is long over due.

    p.s., If anyone knows Mike Casey or is a good boxing writer themselves, either ask Casey to write the book or write it yourself.

    Casey is a very talented writer, who's well versed on boxing. While I don't always agree with his conclusions, the journey getting there with Casey is well worth the trip. I'll send him a ping and see if he has a Monzon article in the works.

    Thanks, but I want a Monzon book, not just an article.

    If he posts on cyberboxingzone then it probably would be better seen there.

    I've never read any posts from him here.

    He has posted articles on the main page. Read the excellent article on Tommy Loughran from a couple of weeks ago.

    I asked the same of John Garfield once. I also offered him loads of material/articles if he wanted to use them.

    Great thing about Mike Casey is that he challenges you. His ratings are very different to many but unlike most he has the knowledge to back up his selections. In this way he makes you consider things differently.
