----

The infamous "No más" fight. Duran waved off the end of the fight with 16 seconds to go in the 8th round, saying "No más, no más" ("No more, no more"), claiming he was suffering from stomach cramping, causing referee [[Octavio Meyran]] to call the fight a TKO for Leonard. Many others felt, however, that Duran had simply quit out of frustration from being behind in the fight and in part due to Leonard's confident taunting.

Carlos Monzon

<boxer>009036</boxer>
'''Manager''': [[Tito Lectoure]] 
'''Trainer''': [[Amilcar Brusa]]
 
==Biography==
[[file:Monzon-BeatrizGarcia-1970.jpg|right|thumb|Monzon & Beatriz Garcia]]

Carlos Monzon was born in poverty in the slums of Argentina. His poor background and difficult childhood instilled a deep anger and hatred in him. He learned early that he loved to fight. He was discovered hanging around the famed Luna Park by trainer [[Amilcar Brusa]]. First wife was Beatriz Garcia.

Monzon was tall, lanky, and had a strange habit of pushing his punches. He seemed lumbersome in the ring, yet his punches were devastating, his conditioning perfect, and his chin was made of iron. Yet, his somewhat aloof personality, coupled with an almost listless ring style, caused Monzon to toil in the rings of Argentine against mostly 2nd rate fighters. After losing 3 fights in his first year as a pro, Monzon won over 50 straight fights to earn a number 10 world ranking in 1970.

When Monzon shocked the boxing world by winning the World Middleweight Title by knocking out [[Nino Benvenuti]], people rubbed their heads and said, " Carlos Who?!" Fame and fortune were now his. His ego and temper grew. Married, yet he had countless romances. Actress Suzanna Gimenez was seen with him. Monzon acted in Italian & French films. He jet-setted with movie star Alain Delone. He kept winning and winning. He survived a gun shot to the shoulder from his wife; an accident they said.
[[file:Monzon-SusanaGimenez-1970.jpg|left|thumb|Monzon & Susana Gimenez]]
He was accused of breaking a reporter's jaw. He was friendly only with the elite of the elite. He had a soft spot for [[Bennie Briscoe]] and always greeted his arch-rival with a big smile and firm handshake. He retired undefeated over the last thirteen years of his career. In retirement boredom set in and so did his demons. Caught up in the party lifestyle; it came crashing down when he was convicted of killing his common-law-wife.

Monzon died in a car accident while on a prison furlough.

Monzon is buried at ''Cementerio Municipal de Sante'', in Santa Fe, Argentina. A life-size figure of Monzon, wearing his championship belt, with his hands raised in victory, stands atop his grave.

Named [[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]] for 1972.
