Monzon and Hagler could have fought 20 times and each would have won about 9 times each with 2 draws in my opinion as both men were certainly great. Hagler was a very fierce fighter and fought both orthodox and as a southpaw with power in either hand. Monzon was more of a boxer with an excellent jab and a pulverizing right hand. Both fighters fought against very tough opposition and were always in great condition. Both men had iron chins and a tremendous will to win. In this fight I see Hagler winning the early rounds with his aggressiveness with Monzon finding the range with his jab and right hands in the middle rounds and evening up the fight going into the championship rounds. Both men land terrific shots with several momentum shifts in rounds 11-15 and both men exhausted at the end of a great fight. One judge has it for Hagler, one for Monzon and the other a draw. The fight ends in a draw after 15 rounds of great championship boxing betrween two legends of the ring. Good question sir, thank you!

I actually posed this question on another boxing board not long ago, and it almost started WW3!! After all was said and done though, I think the general opinion was that Marvin would win on a late round TKO. I had posed the question because while I'm old enough to have seen most of Haglers title fights, I only remember one Monzon fight, and that was against an older Emile Griffith, which Carlos won on a late round TKO. I still haven't seen enough of Monzons fights to say one way or another (not much on YOU TUBE last I looked), but if by some miracle that fight could happen, I'm sure it would be an all time middleweight classic.

Monzon by 15 round decision. These guys were two masters and who always came to fight in top condition. It would be a 15 round war and a fight of the year for sure. Monzon had the better boxing skills and although not quite as strong as the marvelous one, he could punch all day and he would need to in this classic. If you've never seen Monzon in the late 60s early 70s get some tapes. It will be a treat. I can't imagine Jermain Taylor or Winky Wright beating him. Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins were other all time greats who deserve invites for all time honors.
