    Yesterday I asked how Griffith would do in the modern welterweight landscape and a lot of people were saying he'd have a great fight with Manny. How do you see it playing out?

    Griffith too big and strong, a greater natural welterweight

    Griffith was indeed too big and strong for Manny...more so than any previous Pac opponent to be precise....and wins by a wide points verdict, and if properly focused, like that "mean Mister Clauncy" would want him to be, might even force a late rounds stoppage.
