Middleweight fight

Carlos Monzon.
Sugar Ray Leonard only had a few fights as middleweight as opposed to a natural middleweight, and he outboxed Marvin Hagler. This wouldn't happen with Carlos. He take the fight to sugar Ray and win on points

Leonard - W 36 (KO's 23) TF 40 - W pct 90% - KO pct 58% - wins over Duran[2], Hearns, Hagler and Benitez - KO'ed by Camacho (he was over 40 yrs[he should have stayed retired like Marciano]) - #9 ranked fighter
1976 Olympic Gold medal at Lt welter wt
Retired early due to an eye injury (retina)
He made too many comebacks
Monzon - W 87 (KO's 57) TF 100 - W pct 87% - KO pct 57% - wins over Benvenuti{2}, Griffin[2], Napoles and R. Valdez{2] - KO'ed by none
#40 ranked puncher
#11 ranked fighter
The only way that I think Leonard can win this fight if he gets Monzon to agree to 12 rds and a larger ring/larger gloves. Does Monzon have an ego like Hagler? Hagler thought that I can give Leonard everything he asks for and still beat him. Monzon by a decision.

The only way Ray would win this fight is if he would keep Monzon away is to jab and hit from the ouside. If Monzon got inside he would easily deafeat Ray.I would call this one a split decision draw with no winner.

maximum will inform you Leonard by way of fact they actually didnt get to work out distinctive Monzon. i think of Hagler ought to have gained the combat with Ray. Ray might throw little flurries on the top of each around which affected the judges..he stole quite a few rounds this way. in case you watch that combat with the sound muted..you will in all likelihood score it different. i assumed Hagler gained it convincingly. Monzon might have only been to stable for Ray. on a similar time as I admire Ray as an incredible fighter..he grow to be given some judgements that he ought to have lost. Hearns floored him two times and beat him like a drum in certainly one of their fights..yet it grow to be scored a draw. Even Ray mentioned Hearns ought to have gained. i think of Monzon might have been too stable..he grow to be a organic middleweight..Ray grow to be a welter. i think of the combat could be type of like Rays first combat with Duran. Ray might combat his heart out..yet Monzon might have been too stable for my section.
