 Carlos Monzon vs. John Conteh - The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Monzon's huge advantage at middleweight was his strength and stamina in being able to use it over 15...a prime Conteh would be just s strong, just as big and much faster...he would easily deicison Monzon...
Since Monzon never even entertained the idea of moving up (to the best of my knowledge), it's really difficult to extrapolate how he would have fared as a light heavy, but just as it's reckless to say Carlos would have dominated the division, it's just as unwarrented to dismiss his chances altogether.
I think Monzon had the strength of body and character (boxing character, not the thug lack of character that sent him to prison for the rest of his life) to take advantage of the inconsistent Conteh.
