    On Benny Paret's head!

    Rumor has it that Paret called Griffith a maricon (Spanish for ******) at their weigh-in. This was in 1962, several years before Stonewall. He never called anyone a maricon again; Griffith pounded him into a coma and he died ten days later without regaining consciousness.
