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). :TU:

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