    I agree about Griifo and the lack of detailed print that accessible. The best way of getting hold of info regarding him is via the books written aboout Joe Gans, Jack McAullife and the likes. Testimonies from men that he faught are conclusive enough to assume he was the single most freakish man to ever step into the ring.

    If Griffo had any semblence of brain matter in his head, he would have been the most unique sportsman of the first half of the century..... his lack of brains probably allows him that title anyway.

    Ray Swanwick spent 20 years researching and detailing the life of Griffo, after doing so he still refuses to have his records published. Why?? Simple, he's not satisfied with the work yet.

    John Hogg has alegedly found close to 50 unrecorded Griffo bouts also.


    As for Fenech, management, multi title and 'Olympic glory' at a bouycoted Olmpics is his value. Yep, tough fighter. Yep, ripped off in Vegas.

    Ask the average fight fan to name 5 of his opponents without looking at the record books...

    He's best remembered for the loss in Vegas. Give him his dues though, 3 title is 3 title, regardless of opposition. Its your list, and you invited an arguement from anyone. So there ya go.

    1. Les Darcy
    2. Young Griffo
    3. Lionel Rose

    6. Jimmy Carruthers
    7. Johnny Famechon
    8. Ron Richards
    9. Jeff Fenech

    I have no difficulty in saying both Barry Michael and Lester Ellis would have iced Fenech at sF/W.

    Happy to argue the placing with you.
