Monte Barrett (born May 26, 1971, Greenville, North Carolina) is a professional
boxer. Known as "Two Gunz", the American fighter has been a top rated heavyweight for the
past five years, and recently dropped a decision to WBC Heavyweight champion
Hasim Rahman.
Monte Barrett is promoted by Don King, and as a result is still very involved in the
heavyweight mix. Monte Barrett doesn't have a particularly distinct style or a lot of
power, but finds ways to craftily win fights. Prior to his loss to Rahman, he defeated contenders
Owen Beck and Dominick Guinn, both of whom were undefeated at the time, to line up the title
shot.

Monte Barrett got off to a fast start in his pro career, defeating his first 21 opponents, prior to dropping a close decision to Lance Whitaker. He later was dominated, but showed heart in rising five times, against future champion Wladimir Klitschko. Monte Barrett also later locked horns in a memorable battle with Joe Mesi, which was an exciting see-saw battle in which Mesi almost had him out, but Monte Barrett battled back spiritedly and nearly took the undefeated Mesi out.
