    I definitly think it was an exaggeration. I think it was meaning that he really did use all his clothes.

    Yep

    Ron Ross's book.

    Got it signed by the man himself, and sent by him.

    It is a really good book, focusse smore on his personal life, rather than his fights, but it is superb, really interesting character is Griffith and areally good life story. I can hardly put it down.

    It said in the Griffith book, he went back to Africa when he found out he had cancer to be with his family, the govt. was reluctant to let him in but they did. And when he got in they refused to let him back out for treatment.

    A real kick in the back.

    No, I think you are right Frank, I think Tiger clearly shades it. For me, anyway.

    Tiger is my "top of the head" answer, maybe i'd think differently where I to look at my notes on them but until I do that i'll stick with dick (no homo)
