    Any thoughts on who ends up coming on top here? Griffith most likely outboxes Cuevas for the majority of the rounds but for how long before Cuevas’ power takes effect and if Griffith can survive till the final bell?

    I go for Griffith also, way too smart for Cuevas. Nothing against Cuevas, he was fun to watch, but I believe that Griffith would handle him.

    Griffith was a well rounded complete boxer. I think he wins on points.

    I have to go with Griffith. He was a higher caliber all time great. But Cuevas’s punching ability is a threat to anyone.
