Emile Griffith - the trainer

Post by Robinson »

I do not know how many fighters he worked with
and helped, but are their any stories about Griffith
as a trainer. Was he good ?

I have have only known of him to work with James
'Bonecrusher' Smith...who else did he work with.

Thanks again

I'm sure I have a Benitez fight where the commentator says Griffith trained him. I can't remember which fight though, Kym. Sorry.

I remember when he was training fighters in Gleasons... I wouldn't want him training any of my fighters... way too emotional... no really!

What I remember most is that he was always pissed at his fighters for something or other.

Thanks for that guys. He seems like a pretty interesting character
outside of the ring.
