    The best version of Griffith would be able to get a TKO inside 10 rounds.....

    Yep, don't see it going past 10 myself.

    Griffith is too everything for Miguel.

    I think Cotto, over twelve, does about as well as he does against Mayweather. Over fifteen, he gets stopped.

    I thought he did pretty well against Floyd. Cannot see him having the same success here.

    Gulf in class + big style advantage = horrible beating.

    Welter Griffith had more flair and was more aggressive than his middleweight self...he stops Cotto in 13 after dealing out massive punishment to Miguel. As good as Cotto is/was, he would have no chance against Griffith.

    Emile all the way. Excellent boxer, solid chin and much better tools than cotto. At 147 Griffith was a very strong middle, no way Cotto was going to stop him. And no way Cotto would outbox him either ... I love Cotto, but Emile had too much of everything. Cotto would end up giving ground in the face of Emile`s pressure, and he won`t beat him backing up ...

    Griffith would win, not sure he'd have it all his way though as some suggest
