Prime for prime Emile Griffith v Alan Minter

I watched his bout with Mando Muniz the other day and he was fast as hell, he seemed to age really well.

I dunno, Griffith turned in some very aggressive performances at Middleweight and was in some slug fests. Also I think him being a 'boring decision fighter' is a clique really. If you sit down and watch a lot of his fights they are very exciting and he is aggressive, even post-Paret.

 

I don't get it.

 

Spear Mint

 

Mid 1960's prime Griffith would beat Minter; even slightly past prime Griffith who challenged Monzon would beat Minter. He'd have an easier time with Kalule.

 

EMILE GRIFFITH - 1966

i think of the first title fight with master boxer JOEY ARCHER and
EMILE GRIFFITH and the answer to the question concerning a
potential ALAN MINTER fight is easy. EMILE, the best fighter
of the sixties, would win by a country mile and then some.

 

This fight, had it actually taken place, would be of no real consequence...just another day at the "decision office" for Emile. He'd have bore most fight fans with this win..but not me..Griffith was one of my favorites...I never expected ko's from Griff, I just enjoyed watching a master at work.

 

That's right...Minter would have been just another routine opponent for Griffith to decision. I liked Minter personally, but don't get carried away with that "end of the trail" win he had over Griffith.

 

Which was my point, hence the . The fight did take place and it was of little consequence...

 

TBooze, obviously the fight between Griffith and Minter took place....the last fight of griffith's career...we know that...my reference to a fight between them that would have been "of no consequence" is of course the thread starter's matchup...of "prime Emile Griffith vs Alan Minter"...that too would have been a fight of no consequence as Griffith would hand Minter a very sound 15 round decision loss.
