Try ti imagine a fight between the two better middleweight of all time Marvelous hagler vs Carlos monzon ?

Question

but I think hagler would have won, as like tommy hearns, Duran or Sugar ray leonard ; then : is Monzon overrated ?

Answer 1

hagler easily..monzon/robinson on a par,,but hagler defo would have kod either late rounds

Answer 2

No, Monzon is accurately rated as one of the top 5 Middleweights ever. Leonard couldn't have hurt him, and would have tried to influence the judges with shoe-shine flurries (I call them Sugar Shots) that would look good, but not be landing with any real force or doing any damage. Monzon would have walked through Hearns just like Hagler and Iran Barkley did, and Duran would have just been too small to even worry or hurt Monzon at Middle...pretty much like Jose Napoles was too small when he fought Monzon.

But Hagler vs Monzon, prime vs prime, would have been an awesome fight. Hagler was the better boxer of the two, and slightly quicker. I would say the two were more or less equal in strength, punching power and punch resistance. Hagler was only officially off his feet once, whereas Monzon was off his feet three times against Felipe Cambeiro in 1964 (Monzon was only 22 at the time). After that, he was only knocked down once - in his final fight in 1977.

Monzon simply walked people down, whereas Hagler could adapt to any opponent. Hagler looks to outbox Monzon, and wins a narrow split decision.

Answer 3

monzon is not over rated, in fact i would put hagler and monzon on level peggings in the all time great middleweight champions table at numbers 2 & 3 right behind robinson....i would give monzon the edge over hagler, but just about.

Answer 4

Have to disagree fella,Monzon for my money would have knocked Hagler out about round ten.Again for me he was the #1 middleweight of all time,he was more a light heavy in a middleweight frame bit like Pavlic is.#1 Monzon #2Hagler #3Robinson,that's for me anyway!
