i was watching jones jr- griffn 1 & 2 last night for the frist time in which i gave the oscar to griffin for best actor (he was like "he him me while im down!" to the ref then just passes out lol)
then the second fight roy whooped him and had griffin doing the trevor berbick stanky leg.
what happen to him afterwards tho?
Hes a BUM. Who cares about that clown? What has montel ever accomplished besides winning the title from acting and getting sent home in the first round 6 months later.
theres no disputing that
btw, not to be a dick but you misspelled the word "professor" in your user title

No its not? Think before you write. Here is Montell Griffin's encyclopedia, it is totally different to what I wrote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montell_Griffin
Montell Griffin in his prime was a very talanted fighter who on his best day was brillant. He was a very awakard customer to deal with for any LHW, due to him being only 5′ 7″, and he would even make himself smaller than that due to his crouching style.
He was 1992 United States Amateur light heavyweight Champion, he would got to the 1992 Olympic Games, winning two bouts before getting put out by Torsten May who would go on to win the Gold Medal.
He won his first 27 bouts, and in those bouts beat James Toney twice, do some dispute the decisions, he also beat some decent contenders in Ray Lathon, and Hunter Clay.
But Griffin's biggest moment came when he became the first man to put a L on Roy Jones's Jr record, as Jones was DQ for hitting him when down. Do this dosen't tell the whole story, as Griffin was giving Jones alot of problems for most of the fight, and giving the prime Jones's his harderst fight to date.
But in the 9th Griffin was knocked down, but only to be hit again when down knocking him out for good. Most think it was Eddie Futch's masterfull gameplan in which Griffin followed well that gave Jones's so many problems.
In the rematch Futch and Griffin split, and do Jones may have beaten him in the rematch even with Futch, I feel Futch could of played another key role in the fight, but Jones knocked him out in 1 round.
Griffin would never get a World Title again, he would go on to lose most notable fights, losing a SD against Eric Harding, getting stopped by Dariusz Michalczewski in 4, getting beat by Antonio Tarver on UD, Rico Hoye and Glen Johnson would also score victoires over him.
His last fight was against highly touted Beibut Shumenov were he lost a UD. Some feel Griffin underacheived, he was a very awarakd customer, had a good skill set, and a good boxing brain.
But he shall always be remembered for the Roy Jones fights.
He hasn't fought since Shumenov, which was Augest 2rd 2008.
thanks wikipedia
I always respected Griffin, but I never liked him after the 1st RJ fight. I luv watchin that 1st rd KO in the rematch to this day. Griffin was good and has a good res tho. Dude gets slept on a lot.

Griffin might have put on an act but it was a legit DQ in my opinion. Jones blasted him with two big punches as Griffin was on the canvas, it would have been a bit unfair to make him continue after that.
Not sure if it was intentional because Griffin was just so short for a light heavyweight, only 5'6-5'7 I believe. Jones probably didn't even realize that Griffin was on one knee.
yeah i mean it was a legit DQ but i think jones just honeslty didn't know griffin took a knee. i didn't know griffin was that short damn he need to lose a copule pounds
considering he has 38 knockouts... i dont think he was pussyfooting around in there
nah bt it just after the olympics he like lost his fire or something.....idk maybe he got it back on the long run

Yeah...Griffin fought such a great fight in that first one. He just "out-waited" Jones and sort of took the opportunities that arose. Really disappointing ending as it would've been great to see how the last few rounds would've gone down--could've been great.
If they have a nice car, pull them out and beat them to death with a baseball bat and steal their car.
what if the car smelled like a dirty chooice....i don't think those trees can freshen that out
