    Emile Griffith may have won,...or even managed a draw with Monzon in 1973.

    Until you have judged as many title fights as Guy Jutras, Yusaku Yoshida, and Ove Ovesen have between them, try engaging your pea sized brain, before putting your keyboard into overdrive.:roll::roll:

    And your other ( smoke and mirrors ) hero would have lost to Tommy Hearns.

    I really hate the 12 rounds for championship fights; loved the 15 rounders. Tides turn many times in a long fight. And in those championship rounds fighters falter or rise up - it was exciting stuff.
