Gene Fullmer MW Champ vs Emile Griffith WW Champ

I don't understand why you don't just pose the question: Gene Fullmer at his middleweight best versus Emile Griffith at his middleweight best? Your scenario seems unduly convoluted to me.

 

Griffith has too much finesse. He's also better on the inside

 

Gene brings a little to much relentless pressure to this fight. And I think he scores a comfortable decision. I might not be surprised if he stopped him at this stage. I am not sure Emile would grow into a MW body for a couple of more years. But either way I think Gene beats him...but a 61 version he may well stop in the latter stages

 

Gene Fullmer in his best years vs Griffith at his best at middleweight, Fullmer beats him. Fullmer was ox strong and while Griffith was a heck of a fighter, Gene would be too strong and unorthodox for Griffith to handle. Fullmer was not only strong but he constantly used his strength. Coming forward like a bull and sapping opponents of their strength. Griffith was at his best as a welterweight.

 

Fullmer not in his class but too strong.

 

Fullmer takes the best of Griff in this scenario ,and keeps coming forward. His work rate takes its toll on Griff and eventually ,about the 14 th round he finally crumbles .Fullmer a little to much for the WW.

 

How was Griffith able to beat Tiger twice..and appear at times to be as strong as if not stronger than Tiger...yet Fullmer is too strong for him?

 

Fulmer may be the strongest middleweight champ in history

 

Hey, I'm open to that...i sure hold G. Fullmer in high regard...as I do Tiger, that guy in my avatar, and Griffith to name just a few of my favorite weight class in my favorite era.

 

I guess it's the way that Fullmer utilized his strength...that artfully crude wildness, as compared to Tiger's more methodical, controlled use of his strength.

 

YOU KNOW I LAUGHED AT FIRST THEN I THOUGH JUST LIKE YOU FULLMER ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED BOXERS EVER
