    Monzon-Benvenuti I - Carlos was given no chance of winning this, great fight.
    Monzon-Valdez II - Again great fight, truly showed Carlos's ATG ability after his knockdown with a brilliant comeback. A must watch fight.(Unlike the first one which was mind numbing to say the least)

    I really liked both of the Monzon/Valdez fights...Recently watched the second one...Monzon was so accurate with his punches...

    :thumbsup Monzon was deadly in that fight when he found his rhythm.
    The first fight didn't really do it for me, although it was another clinical display by Carlos, Valdez looked half hearted. I believe that is why the rematch was ordered, could be wrong though.

    The Zale v Graziano series must be up there.
