Not a fighter that often gets a mention. He finished his career with a very respectable 98-9-9 record and had a few good results along the way. Accomplishments include outpointing Willie Pastrano in their first fight, drawing with Bonavena and Ron Lyle, as well as losing on points to them both in previous fights.

He is more known for taking George Foreman the distance and putting up a good fight although being outweighed by more than a stone, although he was stopped in the 10th round in the rematch. Not a big buy, formally a light heavyweight and only normally around 14 stone as a heavyweight. Also a durable guy only being stopped by Pastrano in their rematch (on a cut), by Foreman in their rematch in the 10th round and an early career KO loss to Mauro Mina.

Tough guy who had a fine career.
Out of curiosity, why is it that many Argentinian fighters have so many draws?
9 for Peralta.
9 for Monzon.
10 for Laciar.

Don't know, can only assume their judges aren't the best and score many rounds even?

In the "old days," lots of judges scored rounds even, but I don't see that many draws usually on the records of fighters from other countries.
Of course, there are exceptions like Tony Marshall.
