What do people think of CARLOS MONZON? I've just discovered how underrated he may be.

    Speed vs. speed--the handspeed of Camacho was unsurpassed

    all's fair when you have two shells and Hector off of his disputed win over Duran was simply shot. Ray loves fighting shot fighters but Hector turned back the clock while Ray couldn't. Ray couldn't adapt to sharp, quick hitters like Camacho and Norris-history has proven that.

    The end result: read 'em and weep-Camacho KO 5 Ray Leonard

    Keep up the good work. You are turning into ESB's finest comedian.

    Only the facts interest me. Ray Leonard is but one of Camacho's many victims.

    Of course Hagler and Jones were flogging greats like Monzon every second week.

    I have spoken many times with Tony Mundine, who faught Monzon in 74... In his own words, he suggests Monzon was a stubburn S.O.B... Nothing would hurt the guy... His jaw and body remained unaffected by the best of shots... He seemed to relish in the attack... not unlike the lightweight Duran, but a middle weight version..

    Monzon is definately bettered by only SRR.... and the comparisons with Greb are very speculative... although, very little can be taken from Greb...

    Of course he has, otherwise how could one ever know? Either that or he saw him live. Especially given the speed comparison.

    Monzon is the greatest boxer, ever. A master that refused to lose. Very cool under pressure. Found a way to win. Excellent stamina, strong will, great fighting instincts and power. Tremendous chin.
