    Tough fight to call. Toney wasn't at his best at mw so I'll go with Griffith by SD. Thoughts?

    I feel Toney would have fared better v Monzon than Griffith did, Emile was punching from to far away and falling off balance v Monzon, he showed a lack of savvy, maybe he was better at welter because of the shorter reaches, Toney`s reach wouldn`t have the same effect as Monzon`s he threw less jabs but I feel he was harder to hit than Griffith so would probably out-point Emile.
