Carlos Monzon vs Nino Benvenuti II (Rai 3)

I met a guy, an ex boxer, who acted as his translator.

"Well," he told me, "that guy had arms that reached his knees. He wasn't human."

There have been many extraordinary middleweights who, technically, could wipe the floor with him, but the devastating violence, the relentless, blind, self-determination made him an opponent you'd better step back from. Poor Nino—an excellent, very technical boxer—found out about that here.

Ps. When the "Noble Art" was truly such.
