Emile Griffith is not only the greater fighter, but head to head, he'd easily decision Oscar over 15 rounds.
Emile Griffith is greater, better than Oscar in everyway. I Agree with the guy that said that he'd decisioned Oscar.
In terms of greatness, its clearly Griffith. Head to head, I could see Oscar win maybe 3 in a 10 fight series.
Do we mean pound for pound, as in who is the better fighter pound for pound? Who is the better fighter? Emile Griffith.
it's griffith by a chunk. head to head he wins to, resume and accomplishments look at the ATG and HOF guys on his resume? griffith is a true legend. i love oscar but he's a notch below
