    Who wins between the master technician Griffith of 1966 and the ever cautious defensive specialist Corro of 1978. of course, as always, a 15 rounder for the middleweight title.

    Griffith fought on even terms twice with a busier, more talented boxer-mover in Archer.He should be able to outwork Corro, jab with him and handle him on the inside without too much problems.Hugo would make him look bad at times though, no doubt.

    Then again, senor pepe's hugely strong powerpunching Corro might prove a good deal tougher.:yep

    FYI:

    Corro had a record of 50 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws as a professional boxer, with 29 wins by way of knockout. On June 15, 2007, he died after suffering from an acute liver disease.

    If Griffith wasn't on his very best form, I could see him loising a decision, but the rematch would be very different.
