    2 of the very best WWs in boxing history. Griffith is especially an underappreciated ATG who gets overlooked but he's beaten great fighters such as Luis Manuel Rodriguez and Dick Tiger just to name a few. I think this would have been a highly competitive closely fought fight, especially if Griffith is in top form. Although inconsistent at times he can most definitely give SRL one of his toughest contests and perhaps nab a win against him if they were to fight in a trilogy. SRL's speed and adaptability gives him the advantage over Griffith.
