Carlos Monzon vs Chuck Norris

[Collins2000]

I have experience in both endeavors.
Boxed pro and have two blackbelts.(Judo and Japanese JuJutsu).
Your picks are correct.
Bruce Lees theories were good.Crosstraining , conditioning, diet etc.
He was an actor though and not a fighter.

A great actor, Expug.

Who could forget when he went to the dojo with that sign saying "Sick man of Asia" the Japs had delivered? "This time paper, next time glass!"

Chuck could go the distance with Alan Minter.

Are you serious? Minter killed a man in the ring. The last time I balled Chuck's wife, she told me Norris couldn't even go the distance with her.

Both Carlos Monzon and Alan Minter would knock Chuck Norris out in the first round, with the first full force punch they landed

Monzon was a great chmp, but certainly not the best ever at 160.

There maybe only three fighters in history you can make a respectable argument for being greater than Monzon at 160lb; Greb, Robinson and Hagler. What makes you say he certainly wasn't the best? isn't he at least arguably the best ever at 160lb? Personally I think its Greb, followed closely by Monzon.

I go for Monzon, many greats in that division though.

Maybe match Chuck with Kevin Finnegan.

[Ezzard]

How about matching Chuck with an honest to goodness pro. A well-prepared journeyman...

[hoodsyeahright]

How far would Chuck go if he fought an eliminator against Errol Christie for the right to challenge Mark Kaylor, with the winner of that matched with Tony Sibson?

[Arbachakov]

Chuck couldn't beat Errol Flynn.

Classic.I remember that scene well.Cant remember the name of that movie .Maybe "The Chinese Connection"?
Lees movies were entertaining no doubt.
When Gene Lebell first met Lee on the set of "The Green Hornet,"(Lebells a stuntman).
He picked up Bruce and started running around with him on his shoulder.
Lee was livid.
That would have ben hilarious to see.
He and Gene became great friends though and Lebell speaks highly of Bruces ability.
Thats a good endorsement.

where would "ketchel" fit into this mix...?

[hoodsyeahright]

Ketchel is right up there. He'd beat Chuck and Bruce before brunch.
