    Monzon 89-3-9, 61KO's, 14 successful title defenses, retired as champion, 82 bout unbeaten streak dating back to Oct 9 1964. And Monzon was not a sniveler or a whiner if he had a bad night which can happen to anyone. Tired of Woe is me, give it a rest, nobody cares anymore.

    Yeah Carlos Monzon and Rodrigo Valdes defeated Bennie Briscoe, but they defeated Bad Bennie when he was still in his prime not when he became a fossil, what is so impressive by beating a once was?
