Emil griffith vs Nino Benvenuti ,Great classic Emil was opened for that right uppercut but he was setting up his own rights with Jab ,allways was Emill fan but the more i watch Nino the more i like him,another classic with Nino is his first fight with Monzon ,probably best MW generation Nino Monzon and Emill just watch and enjoy.

Nino is an ATG is doesn't get his due....one of the best ever at 154-160 and he got that val barker award in the same Olympics as Ali? you know he was special

Originally posted by Canelo and GGG View PostThis are All good names and some had only an episode in MW but it was fun era ,for me Monzon is GOAT of MW and his fellow ATG in Nino and Emill was epic to watch ,just my opinion doe, one thing im sure of is that Monzon beats SRR H2H ,50s was also a good era
Monzon was a great fighter, but i take Ray to beat him.
The two are in the top 5 middleweights for sure.

The difference for me was that Ray could throw combinations at the kind of speed, power and accuracy that Monzon never saw, besides the consistence, Monzon didn't bring to the ring something that Ray never saw.
