He took part in 13 genuine world welterweight title fights, eight genuine world middleweight title fights - and was robbed in a crack at the WBC light-middleweight title.
Who is he?

What a fighter, the first fight with Monzon is one of my all time favourites. The tape is practically worn out.

Ok, i've got a fairly challenging one for you. Which Mexican fighter was stopped on his pro debut and lost 5 of his first 12, but went on to capture a world title and defend it 11 times before being stopped again, this time by an all time great.

Close, but bennie and stu got it (fairly easily i'll bet).

Did anyone else have concerns about bugs' sexuality? All that dressing up as a woman for Elmer Fudd left me very confused.
