Argentina's Carlos Monzon was one, if not the, greatest middleweight boxing champions in fistic history. Born in poverty, he was discovered in the famed Luna Park Gym by trainer Amilicar Brussa, who molded the "skinniest" 6 feet 2 incher in the world into a lethal fighting machine. Monzon developed a plodding style of standing straight up and appeared to be "pushing" his punches. But, regardless of how he looked, Monzon after losing 3 fights in the first two years of his career (later, he defeated all 3 of his victors), never lost a fight again. Married with children, he earned his trade throughout Argentina defeating a string of local club-fighters. Finally after seven years of fighting, he finally captured the World Middleweight Boxing Championship in a shocking upset over the highly favored Nino Benvenuti. Overnight, Monzon became the toast of the boxing world. Rugged, handsome, and "macho", he became a superstar in fan appeal. He jet-settled to Monte Carlo, Paris, Rome, and Miami Beach. He was linked romantically with Argentine actress Susana Giménez. A scandal broke when Monzon was "accidently" shot by his wife. He earned a reputation as hot-tempered and "stuck-up". Yet, among fellow boxers, he was charming, friendly, and generous. He set a ring record by making 14 successful title defenses. A record which stood for 27 years before Bernard Hopkins broke it. Monzon retired as undefeated champion in 1977.

Had romance with La Mary (1974) co-star Susana Giménez from 1974-1977.
