    I've seen clips of Monzon in the ring but the only fight I've seen all the way through is the one against Napoles.

    Can anyone recommend a fight I should where he's at his absolute peak, preferably one that's on YouTube?

    I can never remember if it Bouttier I or II. I think it's 2 because it's natural enough to expect it to be I - which is a stoppage - but I think i've assumed that before and been wrong...or maybe not...

    Anyway, Bouttier. One. Or two.

    I would love to have seen Chris Eubank fight Monzon.

    I've never liked Eubank.

    And that is why Eubank is underrated! People don’t hate mediocrity. They dislike and hate greatness...but for the record I would pick Monzon to beat Eubank lol

    I don't dislike Eubank because of his 'greatness'. It's impossible to dislike him for that reason.

    He wasn't a great fighter.

    I dislike him because he's a pompous tw*t.

    Easily the first Griffith fight. That was his very apex performance.

    One of the all time great virtuoso performances.
