| 85-24-2 doesn't really sound like much does it? Not until you look at the roster.
Denny Moyer-One time undisputed 154 champion.
Luis Manuel Rodriguez-One time undisputed welterweight champion and HOFer.
Benny Paret-One time undisputed welterweight champion.
Raph Dupas-One time undisputed 154 champion.
Dick Tiger-Two time undisputed middleweight champion and undisputed light heavyweight champion and HOFer.
Nino Benvenuti-Undisputed 154 and undisputed 160 champion and HOFer.
Emile Griffith defeated these six men a dozen times with three losses.
In addition, Griffith defeated another 25 ranked fighters in his career.
Not too shabby.

| another great thread as always
I especially like it since I have met Denny and his brother and his son numerous times, hes an awesome guy
also Denny was the first 154 pound WBA Champ ever to give an ideda of how tough he was, Ray Robinson said he was one of the most gruelling fighters he ever faced thats saying something
Emile was an AMAZING fighter | |
