Moving Up Against Carlos Monzon...

We're not talking about success at higher weights, otherwise James Toney could be considered more skilled than Ray Robinson.

As for Griffith's top wins, a guy like Rodriguez was easily as good as any of those fighters at the time they were beaten, Moore included, probably better in fact. Throw in guys like Dick Tiger, Joey Archer, Nino Benvenuti, along with a long list of other top fighters and you have a very stacked resume.

No, it's really not, if you had any semblance of an idea of what you were talking about. You like to make assumptions before doing any research whatsoever, which can lead to you making downright ******ed statements. Castillo's resume pisses on Ortiz's? Remember that one?

He was still obviously a very effective fighter, and the second fight was more or less his last hurrah, his last great showing, which certain greats are able to get up for when past their prime.

Monzon didn't lose his entire career aside from early career fights in Argentina, all of which he avenged, so he's not losing period.

If that heat-seeking right hand starts to land I wouldn't count on Duran taking it often without his knees buckling.
