Was Monzon better than Arguello P4P?

Yes. So was Griffith.

 

Under “bouts vs top 50 fighters” it has Arguello’s total at 2. Both against Pryor, I’m assuming. Did Olivares somehow miss out on this list?

Monzon’s dominance and consistency is what gives him the edge over Arguello’s superior depth. Not that the latter was lacking in either of those departments. He just wasn’t on the mythical level that Monzon was.

 

Maybe they meant Marcel? Is certainly have him higher than Pryor, although neither top 50. ,

Is definitely an oversight if you're correct.

 

Sadly, yes.

I say sadly because one was electrifying to watch, and a top-notch human being.

The other was a methodical, sometimes dull, psychopath.

But Monzon was the better fighter as he had less holes, and more versatility.

Monzon has a valid argument as the #2 all time Latin fighter behind Duran.

Arguello has a case at top 5, but not top 2.

 

I think murdering your wife quite comfortable crosses into psychopath territory.

 

I edited it for accuracy lol

 

The Latin thing is a good idea. I'd have Monzon at three, after Duran & Carlos Ortiz. Jofre at four, and if he counts (obviously being black but Hispanic), Gavilan at five.

 

Yeah, I remember we went through that a few months ago.

The only thing everyone could agree on was Duran at 1.

2-5 was different for everyone else, and that's cool.

Jofre, Monzon, Arguello, Ortiz, Napoles, Chavez, Gavilan, Sanchez, Rodriguez, ect all have a case for top 5.

 

Yes. I see you got yr favorite magazine out again mark. 20 more questions from it again?

 

I think that depends on the wife.

 

Yes.

 

I'm not sure this is true. Monzon was dominant, yes true, that doesn't mean he didn't have holes in his boxing style. He didn't fight at a fast pace and was very basic in what he did without being particularly athletic. He was effective but he was very beatable even if no one pulled it off in his reign. Arguello's arsenal and technical ability was simply better. He put his punches together better and was an equal as a ring general.

Arguello fought for world championships, fighting all the best across 4 divisions. Monzon fought in one and even his biggest fans don't fancy his chances against Foster.

 

LOL!

In Monzon's case, all things point to him being a chronic woman beater before he became a murderer.

I know appearances aren't everything, but I've watched a few Monzon interviews. The guy had soul-less eyes.
