Emile Griffith

Ah lineal champion, not too many of those these days. Sounded like a hell of a fighter. 75 is kind of young these days. Wasn't there a movie made about the life of Griffith?

A Documentary called Ring Of Fire, no films though I don't think.
It's well worth a watch, tis deep.

How long ago did it come out?

How long ago did it come out?

A few years ago. You can probably find it on YouTube, although a regular TV would make for much better viewing if you can find the DVD.

Emile Griffith, one of my all time favourites and perhaps the best fighter of my favourite era of boxing, the 60's.

Beat one of my top 5 favourites ever, **** Tiger, twice (thought Tiger won the first one but neither here nor there. The first man to officially put the iron chinned Tiger on the canvass. You won't find many fights with the skill level displayed in that first fight between the two ATGs.

Griffith was an absolute legend, all time great without any question what so ever.

R.I.P to a Champion.

Very sad news.

RIP Champ.

He was an incredible person, and warrior. It's great that his legend will live on for a long time. A true ATG of boxing.
