    Emile Griffith is not only the greater fighter, but head to head, he'd easily decision Oscar over 15 rounds.

    Emile Griffith is greater, better than Oscar in everyway. I Agree with the guy that said that he'd decisioned Oscar.

    In terms of greatness, its clearly Griffith. Head to head, I could see Oscar win maybe 3 in a 10 fight series.

    Do we mean pound for pound, as in who is the better fighter pound for pound?

    Who is the better fighter? Emile Griffith.

    Griffith by a long shot...though I dont think he would easily deal with Oscar..but he would win.
