    There is a book called "Nine...Ten...and Out! The Two Worlds of Emile Griffith" by Ron Ross.

    I know both Ron and Emile and the answer is YES!

      i find it really hard and confronting to think of an ATG boxer as a ***...its just too weird

                Emmile is such an amazing person, such a loving soul. I don't care about his orientation, that's his business and people should stop fixating on it. I can assure you, he isn't the only gay boxer and certainly not the most notable.

                People should look beyond that to see how great a guy he is.

                  Kessler?.

                  I don't know he just looks slightly gay to me, especially when him and Calzaghe went head to head smiling at each other.
