(Bronx, NY) - Montell "Ice"Griffin (48-6, 30KO's) grew up idolizing the Greatest of All-Time, Muhammad Ali. As a child, he watched Ali train at his father gym and learned to mimic his style-many people even thought Griffin was his son! Griffin's problem? His height peaked at 5'7". Neigh Sayers told Griffin he would never succeed, he was too short to compete as a light heavyweight. From becoming a 1992 US Olympian to becoming the first man to beat Roy Jones, Griffin's has made a career of proving his critics wrong. Montell recalls, "Just being around Ali made you want to strive harder to reach your goals". [details]
