Carlos Monzon - Masterful Jab & Distance Control 

One of the greatest Middleweights of all time! Carlos Monzon was a cerebral, calculated fighter who had a thunderous right hand and a beautiful jab - He was able to keep his opponents at bay with his high ring IQ and excellent distance control so that's what I wanted to focus on in this highlight. An incredible fighter who could hold his own in any era. Escopeta! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

One of the things that Monzón was great at: hitting while going backwards

He wasn't the fastest or strongest, sure he had massive physical strength and great power punching, but it wasn't like McClellan's power or Hagler's strength. The special think about him was that he knew how to play the game. The guy had an incredible sense of distance, a solid jab, insane accuracy, fast thinker, flawless basics, ring generalship, etc, etc, etc.

Greatest South American boxer ever in my opinion 💯

The title says it all, distance control. I don’t believe any other fighter had Monzon’s mastery of this skill.

There are so many weird things about Monzon. He had a bad temper and was so quick to anger. But in the ring he looked very calm and methodical. Another thing, sometimes when Monzon punched it was very obvious what is coming, what punch he's throwing, but he still connected 🙂.

I love it when a fighter understands his or her attributes and uses them almost to perfection!!!

A middleweight with the style of a heavyweight

One of the most relaxed fighters in the ring.

For me the greatest ever, complete and adaptable

When Angelo Dundee calls you a perfect boxer, you know that you are doing something very good.

He pops that jab and straight right like a whip.

In my opinion the scariest boxer of all time. He was so intelligent and vicious in the ring and unlike guys like Tyson, Liston or Baer he was genuinely an evil person.

Alongside with Marvin Hagler, one of the all time middleweight greats

Incredible work-rate, stamina and durability with reach and power. Very difficult to cope with.

Even Marvelous Marvin Hagler said he would have had a tough time against Monzon. One of the most underrated champions of all time.

Video stupendo thanks hanzagod

Man, you are still capable of having a lot of ideas even after so many videos. Hope you make it to 100k.

Solo una parola :IMMENSO

He got a nice 1-2 combination

LATINOS UNIDOS LATINO STRONG: First and formost Thank you Sir, for this documentary 👍 CARLOS MONZON finally after Seven years was giving the golden opportunity and Captured the middleweight Boxing World Championship in a Shocking Upset Over the Highly Favored 1960 Olympic Boxing Gold Medalist and World Middleweight Champion & Boxing Hall Of Fame - Nino Benevuti 82-7-1-35 Carlos Monzon Successfully defended his title 14 times against 11 different fighters. Carlos Monzon also defeated Emile Griffith, of the Virgin Island by TKO in the 14th round, successfully defending his WBC Middleweight Championship Belt. This Championship fight was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Griffin Offered Courageous Resistance but was thus, finally Overwhelmed by Carlos Monzon. Carlos Monzon is known to be One of the best best👌middleweights in boxing history but also One of the GREATEST boxers of all time, Pound - for - Pound.

Siempre la distancia perfecta llega con potencia y a él no le llegan maestro de maestros 🙌💪

What a fight him and Hagler would have been.

Another fantastic video hanNZgod, been watching your videos for ages and I swear you get better and better from every video

Great to see you back at it again haNZagod. I pick up new songs from your videos.

his punches look so effortless. He throws them kinda like his hand is a stone at the end of a rope. I don't know if this a characteristic of one boxing school or another, but I've seen similar punching form on old soviet training videos

Great video man, saludos desde Argentina

Legend .

Tip top. Like always.

Another great video man but 1:45 to 1:51 was utter mastery in switch hitting and just beautiful to watch, keep up the great work as always bro. 👍✌️

🥊Great video!!👏👏👍👍

The Shotgun would blow away GGG/Canelo/Calzaghe/Pavlik/Taylor/Martinez and most modern middleweight champs. Would have been interesting to see him fight Jones Jr/Ray Robinson/Ray Leonard/ Hagler/ Prirog(yes many would disagree with using his name amongst the greats but I think he would have been one absent his premature back injury). A prime Ray Robinson could have beaten him but then he could beat anyone. People don't know about Monzon. Great video.

My Man 👍

The ring belongs to CM the most skilled, and dangerous fighter i have ever seen, pure freak of nature with no emotion or fear, all this together makesv him king!

I truly believe he could have held his own in any era .

Hi 😉, i wanted to tell you what a great job you have done with your highlights ! I am part Argentinian 🇦🇷 and have been following your work since 2015 ... Eduardo Lausse, Victor Emilio Galindez, Carlos Monzon were beautiful videos and i am happy you made another one on Monzon ! He is still a bit underrated and i wont lie the first times i watched his fights many years ago, i though he was boring but with the years, i appreciate a lot more his work, he became one of my very favourite, his jab and fundamentals were his strongest asset and this is what i find very interesting with him : did not need to be flashy, extremely athletic, explosive ... his efficiency seem so simple and when i go to the gym i say to myself how a master he was, because having good fundamentals is hard in itself but he was GREAT and made a career with Boxing 101 ... there is Poetry in his Attitude and Style, and i will repeat myself but i absolutely loves how he uses his jab ... When i watched Bivol vs Canelo it reminded me of Monzon vs Napoles, i May be wrong but Bivol is the closest i have seen to Carlos, the way he used his different jabs to keep Canelo at distance and the way he throws his right hand ... is it right to say Bivol might be a Bigger version of Carlos Monzon with overall better speed and faster footwork ? 😊

LATINOS UNIDOS LATINO STRONG 💪🏆⚔️ Carlos Monzon had Great timing movements & distance followed by educated repetitive pumping jabs and execution with precision. Also his angles were and defense was phenomenal. Carlos Monzon was One of the absolute GREATEST middleweights of all times 🏆

Damn this guy had super reach which is why he walked backwards and still connected with punches. Height of 5'11" with a reach of 6'4" or 6'5" I have seen on stuff they were selling on ebay.

Monzon he was special yes relaxed power aggression. 100 in my book

Very nice video

Lo mejor de lo mejor .

Carlos Monzon reminds me of an angry Josh Harnett...he would be the perfect actor to play him in a movie!!! I'm from Argentina and hands down he is like the Marvin Hagler of Argentina!!!!

King carlos was possessed in the ring

Carlos Monzón = Campeón de campeones 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

C Monzon amongst the 3 GOAT of the Middle Weight division of all time, WHAT A SAVAGE!!!!!

See how most fighter will bend their back forward when in fight stance. Carlos keeps a straight back never bending his spine but using hips and feet to slight back and forward. When he throws punch it rotates around his spine like a axis.

Monzón was an all time great from argentina,bivol have a similar style of boxing

Fuera del ring no justifico nada de ll que hizo, pero deportivamente nunca dejara de ser de lo mejor que tuvimos. Locche, Galidez y el fueron la mejor generacion que tuvimos en el box. Lastima el estado actual del box argentino, vamos a necesitar demasiado tiempo antes de ver una nueva generacion de campeones

If you guys haven't watched it there's a miniseries on Netflix about Monzon, which is super good imo. You might want to check it out

El mejor combate para mi gusto fue Monzon vs Briscoe. Un resumen de esa pelea tan pura y limpia debe estar en todas las escuelas de Boxeo del mundo.

"Distance is everything " Beetlejuice

Absolute Champion!

سلاحه وقوته هي طول الذراعين

Yo no lo sé, pero la cantidad de golpes que Monzon, pegaba por pelea, debe ser de las más altas de la historia. Fallaba muy poco. Saludos desde Argentina. Otro gran boxeador argentino olvidado fue Galindez.

Watching his fights in their entirety can be pretty boring. This video does a great job of showcasing why he was such a success though. I love old fights but Monzon's can be painful to watch. Can't deny his talent though

He stated his most difficult fight was Ancient Emile Griffith with high mileage (battle worn). I wonder how Monzon would've handled vs the stacked 1955-1965 middleweight crop.

Il piu grande peso medio di sempre

A 5 11' Middleweight champion with a telephone jab. Tough customer for any Contender

His demeanor and movement remind me of the UFC’s Alex Pereira.

Briscoe probo a Monzón y Hagler no pudieron noquearlo .cada uno fue bueno en su época. Briscoe fue un bueno

How could you deal with that!

That reach was something

Didn't have the style of ali or robinson but he sure got the job done.

Do Billy Costello next!

his feet are very underrated. look a great pocket passer in the nfl. he knew how to feel the pocket and glide and slide his feet around to keep distance, yet spring right back on you..... he takes hagler imo prime vs prime b/c of this.

2:30

who do you think would have won at their best? monzon or hagler.

There is absolutely nothing eye-catching about him. Nothing. Then I noticed that he can go from defense to offense as smoothly as anybody can and can do it with any punch. I also notice he goes to the body. Hard. Add all of that (plus his reach) with the fact that he keeps that jab going, he'll feint (his faints are slow af but they keep you from timing his best and most basic weapon - the jab), I see why he was whipping ass.

I was wondering if there was a reason you don't have any Eubank Sr videos?

Monzon es sobradamente el verdadero mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos ese estilo de pelea aunque poco atractivo hubiera neutralizado el de Ali Robinson leonar o cualquier otro

EL MAS MEJOR ESCOPETA

I always thought of monzon as the bigger Salvador sanchez

Carlitos, the best

He's big. Looks like a light heavyweight. Doesn't look like a middle weight to me. Look at his back. Guy was muscle 💪

Salt and pepper lol he peppers and peppers than comes the salt.

Looks in a different weight class to some of these guys he's boxing. Incredible fighter though.

Terrence Crawford remind me that.

Is it just me or does the person at 2:01 look like Eminem far away

Best comp when looking st Monzon is Alexis arguello only arguello didn’t have Monzons defensive acumen of avoiding punches and pivoting fighters in a position to set up his accurate punches. Msybe most accurate boxer in boxings history. Very rare did a punch miss targeted location. Duran was fighter of 70s Monzon lost by a single bite salvotore Sanchez came in third. Was a great time boxing. The fourth place person in ranking was some heavyweight cslled Ali. That’s how good the fighters were . Duran is re the best lightweight boxing history. Monzon is regarded as best middleweight not named Harry krebs. If you don’t know krebs. He beaten more hall of fame boxers in thier prime than fighter and was first fighter to fight anyone anywhere regardless of color. first chsmpion to fight black fighters, he was asked why? he loved competition. He had his own style was hard to hit, hit you often when you threw punches you hit air. He beat the great technical boxer Gene Tunney . And funny said his punches was perfect but krebs was so quick he caught nothing but sir. Krebs was only man to to defeat Tunney he went on to win heavy title from Jack Dempsey in two memorable fights. That was one of Krebs opponents he and Tunney is regarded as one of best middleweights of all time. As is dick Tiger the first black fighter to get a shot at a title. No fighter has the resume krebs has. Why he #1 middleweight followed by Monzon Robinson Tiger hagler Tunney middleweight is a deep division Roy jones jr comes in 17th that’s how deep it it is. Rjj would be higher but he goghtvat super middleweight and light heavyweight that disqualified him most of his career. Valdez should be ranked higher he was a two time undisputed champion. Show how tough rankings are liensrd and hearns are not even top fifty in this weight class. It’s a stacked weight class middleweight. Keeping everything in context why did Monzon take so much grief for fighting Jose nspolis the long time welterweight king who was regarded as fourth greatest welterweight when he fought him in history. Yet hagler was praised for fighting Leonard who was thought to have seen better days. Unlike Napoles.?that’s quite the double standard. 😳🤔

Мир праху великого война яркий человек покойся с миром гордость Аргентины жди своего друга делона

Hagler prime vs monzon would of been nice

Here because of Emi Martinez -you all must be up for Villa

hagler lo hubiera aplastado. Igual hearns o leonard.

Beat Jose Napoles also

Tutto trasformato in cacca non raccolta sui marciapiedi …

Jab + cross ...= demoletor

Bad Bennie briscoe battle of the baldies

Awesome fighter, amazing distancing, awful human being….

Great boxer: terrible human being.

Brilliant boxer...one of the best jabs..but unlike most champions..a totally disgusting person

Belive it or not i find this guy way more boring than Mayweather Jr, I know Monzon is an all time great, but his fights omg i hate them all lol.
