Who do you think wins this fight and why???

im gonna go with Monzon he had a stinging jab, and his right cross and granite chin would help him in the fight.. i also believe he is possibly the greatest pure middleweight of all..???

So Monzon by Decision
Lol but i still love robinson!!!

Agreed. At welterweight Robinson was flawless but at middleweight I believe Monzon has all the tools to beat him. The only middleweight I can imagine beating Monzon is Harry Greb.

Id take Hagler to beat Monzon head to head, I still rate Monzon ahead all time.

You get these greats in and anything can happen, cuz mentally someone may find a weakness in real time during a fight. So it's always a crap shoot a this level.

However I would go in betting on Monzon in any Middleweight matchup. Robinson would have the best chance to beat him, but I don't give Hagler the same chance. Willie Monroe beat Hagler once, Monzon would likely do it 2 or more likely 3 for 3. Prime for Prime.

Bobby Watts probably honestly probably only fought Hagler to a draw as did Leonard. Though I accept both decisions.

When looking at Hagler and how he faired in rematches it is pretty hard to see him going winless three times against any fighter.

monzon by decision, ray was the greater fighter P4P but i think monzon was the greatest middleweight and he edges ray over 15
