Carlos Monzon vs Thomas Hearns. Who wins?

Question

Both in their prime,

Answer 1

Monzon unless he got careless and got caught with Hearns best shot.There wasn't a fighter i n the world Hearns couldn't KO:but he had a glass jaw and dropped his left hand after throwing a jab (thanks to Kronk training).Once or twice doing this against Monzon and it would have been Good Night Sweet Prince!!

Answer 2

To Frank D (who thinks he is so darn smart[Ha]) and the rest of the clowns: the definition of a dream fight is to put two opponents together that never did fight whether the were from the same era or not. Several boxing magazines started this in the mid sixties, it was good then and it is still good now. Capiche?

Monzon - W 87 (KO's 57) TF 100 - W pct 87% - KO pct 57% - wins over Benvenuti{2}, Napoles, Griffin[2] and R. Valdez{2} - KO 'ed by none - #40 ranked puncher - #11 ranked fighter

Hearns - W 61 (KO's 48) TF 67 - W pct 91% - KO pct 72% - P. Cuevas, Benitez, Duran and V, Hill - KO'ed by Leonard, Hagler and I. Barkley (average fighter) - #18 ranked puncher - #67 ranked fighter
His stamina/chin did cost him a spot in the top 25.
Much better boxer than given credit for

If Hagler can with stand Monzon punches he could have a chance. Monzon did not put pressure on fighters like Hagler did.
The fight is in Las Vegas and Don King is Hearns' promoter and Richard Steele was the referee. I am finished.

Answer 3

This would of been a great fight, i don't usually bother answering too many of these questions asking about match ups that can never happen but this one caught my eye. They are both in the top 5 middleweights of all time i would say, and would just be a truly great match up. Thomas Hearns was probably the hardest single puncher in this weight division ever, and Monzon along with Hagler had the best chin the Middleweight division had seen, I could see this fight going to the later rounds as i think "the hitman" would of had trouble catching up with Monzon who could be a very slippery customer, although i don't think Monzons jab would of come into play as much as it usually did because he wouldn't have a reach advantage over Hearns i still think he would of caught Hearns with enough of them quick right crosses to keep him ahead on points. so to sum up i would take Monzon on points probably a unanimous decision.

Answer 4

HEARNS - W sixty one (KO's 40 8) TF sixty seven - W pct ninety one% - KO pct seventy one% - wins over Benitez, Duran[2], V. Hill and Cuevas - KO through Leonard, Hagler and Barkley - #18 ranked fighter - #sixty seven ranked warring parties would were correct contained in the right 10 or c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c0 if human beings hadn't concept that he lacked stamina and had a susceptible chin a lot extra constructive boxer than given credit for MONZON - W 87 (KO's 57) TF 100 - W pct 87% - KO pct 57% - wins over Benvenuti{2}, Griffin(2), Napoles, Valdez and Briscoe - KO'ed through none. #40 ranked puncher - #11 ranked fighter Monzon became nowhere the puncher that Hearns became. Monzon could not be KO'ed. Hearns would were the great puncher ever. Can Hearns can flow the area with Carlos like Griffin, Valdez and Briscoe did. in this bout, the right result's a majority draw.
