Carlos Monzon(1973)vJoe Calzaghe(anyday of his life!)middleweight,15 rnds??

Question

who would have won(LOL)and what round Monzon ko Calzaghe?

Answer 1

Calzaghe never has faced a Carlos Monzon(not many of today's fighters have!)and I feel confident in saying Carlos,who was actually built like a light heavy,would knock out Calzaghe well inside the 15,about round 6 or 7 ko.

Answer 2

Monzon in my opinion is the 2nd greatest middleweight champion of all time (tie with Hagler)  He had a great jab, reach, height, and a pulverizing right hand.  He did not lose a fight something like the last 9 years of his career as the middleweight champ from 1970-77 defending the title 14 times finishing with a career mark of 87-3-9 (59) beating such fighters as Emile Griffith, Bennie Briscoe, Nino Benvenuti, Jose Napoles, Jean Claude Bouttier and Rodrigo Valdez so his level of competition is already much grater than Calzaghe's.  Joe is an outstanding fighter and did beat Hopkins but would be overwhelmed by the great Monzon who had all the physical advantages here.  Monzon by 10th round knockout.

Answer 3

Monzon hands down. . . .he was a total NUTCASE, and pretty much had no "pain-sensors". . . . Plus, Calzaghe fights at supermiddle. . .and lightheavy now. . . .the middleweight limit would find a sadder, slower, limper Calzaghe from making weight, and none of his already limited power would translate to this lighter weight.

Monzon would KO Calzaghe in round 13.

Answer 4

It would be interesting.  I don't think Monzon ever faced anyone like Calzaghe.  Still Monzon was just such a terrific fighter it is hard to pick against him.  He had that ability to fight great on the outside but at the same time he could throw some brutal uppercuts.  Tought fight for Joe.  

Monzon wins

Answer 5

calzaghe never weighed less than 166 and a half pounds, so i can't see him making middleweight.

lets make this at 168, and monzon takes it by stoppage by the 12th round.
