After defeating valdez in 77 Monzon retired later that year, but what if he came back? Let's say he has a year off then decided to have another crack at the title. He has a couple of easy warm up fight s then challenges Antuofermo in 79. He s 36 years old now. Is this a big mistake on Carlos 's part or is it actually winnable? Can Monzon do a Hopkins here?
Light-hitting, but always coming forward Vito. Vito leading by points, but in a 15 round fight, Vito suffers the standard big cut in the 13th and the fight is stopped in the corner by the Doctor. Monzon wins, but goes back into retirement with his lady-friends at his side. (Hagler is in the crowd saying "those guys are always ducking me").
Monzon over Vito due to skills, but history isn't usually kind to the lower weight class fighters coming back
