    What's your opinion on this matchup. I think it'd be one of those razor close decisions that would be argued about for ages. I doubt either man is getting knocked out.

    I'd go with Emile for a very close decision

    Floyd doesn't like slick fighters

    Floyd UD. Simply the better fighter.

    What a great, great fight.

    Did Emile win a fight where his jab want best?

    LMR, perhaps, though you could argue that either way.

    I have a feeling this would be a dull fight. With Griffith's superior work rate making the difference in a decision win.

    I'll take Griffith by UD in a snoozefest.
