I didnt know too much about Emile Griffith until i saw the Ring of Fire on tv.then i read about his fight with Ralph Dupas.I know Griffith is in the Hall of Fame but im wondering if hes a true all-time great or one of those less deserving one?

i think he is an all time great

Certainly an all time great. Three time welter, twice middle and once junior middle champ.

Yeah and then after looking at his resume seeing the likes of **** Tiger,Nino Benvenuti i suppose he is deserving.

I remeber him losing a bad decision to Echard Dagge for the junior middle title near the end of his career. He should have been a seven time world champ. And he's gay.

id put him in the top 15 or 20 p4p fighters of all time.

I've read article in ESPN I believed like he is a regular in gay club and admitted he likes both sex. Anyways definetely top 40 all time great in my opinion.

Wow never knew that about Emile, is he the only known gay/bisexual fighter to win a title?

EDIT: I still like him as a fighter, he fought kind of dirty in that last Benvenuti fight, but overall I still like him.
Just wanted to point out that I'm not a gay basher.
