    I'm thinking Johnson pulls off the upset here and gets the decision. Thoughts?

    Which Emile Griffith are we talking about? Prime Emile Griffith would have a tough fight on his hands Reggie Johnson would not be a walk in the park. He was an aggressive southpaw and also a good boxer who fought the likes of Roy JonesJr and Antonio Tarver. Prime Griffith fought the likes of Benny The Kid Paret, Ruben Hurricane Carter. I think that it would be a good boxing type of match, Emile emerges with a very narrow decision win.

    Goto go with Reggie Johnson in close technical contest. Very underrated southpaw technician who would be bigger natural middleweight
