Would Monzon Have Beaten Down SRL.?

Monzon UD in a competitive fight.

 

I don't think Monzon would take Leonard, Duran, as lightly as Hagler did. Well when i mean lightly in regards to Leonard i can't see Monzon doing what Hagler did for the first 4 rounds for example.

If it's a 12 rounder Monzon wins a decision if it's 15 rounds possibly Monzon gets a late stoppage.

 

Early rounds while fresh i think Leonard would do ok, but as the rounds mounted up Monzons physical advantages and ringmanship of utilising those advantages, would give Sugar Ray a tough night at the office.

I guess other tangibles could come into play like ring size etc, which if big enough might be a positive for Leonard regarding being elusive.

However i say Monzon prevails by UD after 15 rounds

 

At middleweight, Monzon easier than most people probably think.

 

Going against the grain here Ray outboxes Monzon on his way to a unanimous decision

 

Monzon in a good fight.

 

We're talking Leonard here, right?

Monzon pulls a Napoles on him and just outmans and beats him down. Stoppage later than Jose, 9th or 10th. That jab does a number on Leonard who has sparky counters, but Monzon controls distance and is great at rolling with shots.

 

You got the sympathy likes at least LOL.

I pick Monzon & possibly even by late stoppage, but I think if this threads anything to go by, a bet on Leonard might be worth its weight in gold.

 

Monzon too big at middle — UD if 10 or 12, possibly late stoppage if it’s 15.

If he comes down to welter, he’s a skeleton and Ray knocks him out.

At catchweights, say meet at 155 or so, I’d favor Leonard to be stronger and maybe batter Monzon late.
