    You're talking about a great fighter vs a guy who barely qualifies for being "good".

    Montell Griffin was great in his time.

    No he wasn't. He never came close to being "great"...the most bandied about, misused word in all of boxing. Maybe, for a fight or two...maybe even,...he was borderline "very good"....

    So are you saying that he would have no chance of beating Billy Conn?
