Was Emile Griffith Really Gay??

[delaboxeo]

In doing research to get myself up to speed on the world of boxing prior to my birth -- i read an interesting article about the infamous Benny Peret/Emile Griffith fight.

I had absolutely no idea that people had thought Griffith was gay. Not that it really matters, but has anyone been able to confirm this??

Nope. No one has yet confirmed it....not even his boyfriend.

Have you ever heard that guy speak? That might be only a little bit of a hint.

[delaboxeo]

Really? I've never heard him speak.

Are there any accessible documentaries/movies/interviews w/ him??

Ironically if thats the case, Mike Tyson is gay and so is every british speaking man on the planet.

Do you really think so? Hmmm....

Well, in this documentary that i just heard about called Ring of Fire, I guess i'll get to hear Griffith speak. I'm not too sure how sold I am on this idea though
