    Emile Griffith doesn't belong in any discussion about "bad guys"...

    Just as a fighter,I'm not concerned with his character.

    "Billed American/World 154lbs Middleweight Title
    McCoy claimed the World Middleweight title at 154lbs"

    Griffith was one of the good guys...and the gay jokes and **** should stop because they slander and mock a great fighter and champion of the past....an immortal.

    Jack Blackburn certainly had an itchy trigger finger. He was especially fortunate not to spend the end of his life behind bars for his second shooting, when he was Louis's trainer.

    I dont hear many gay jokes directed at Griffith. They usually get directed at Curry.

    Bob Fitzsimmons liked to drink and beat around the old lady.

    Dempsey broke Maxine's jaw.

    Corbett and Jeffries were virulent racists, seemingly beyond the day's norm.

    None of us are angels.
