    Toney was robbed both times against Griffin. Good fight though. I'd probably go with canelo by disputed split decision

    Split decision as in effected by Canelo's corrupt judges, or a deserved split decision?

    Yeah I agree, but I chose this Griffin because I believe this was prime Griffin and Toney is the most similar height to Canelo of Griffin's opponents.

    I see it really as a 50/50 and it coming down to who's judging the fight similar to hagler/leonard. Griffin was excellent and had a good style for canelo but canelo has a way of stealing rounds by getting the last shot in during exchanges. Really tough to pick a winner but canelo is legit and has surprised me on more than one occasion

    I favour Griffin on points.Then again judges have a love affair with Canelo, so you never know
