Would 'The Bodysnatcher' be too strong for Griffith and would use brutal body shots to grind out a points victory? Or do you think that Griffith is a class above McCallum and would give him a Boxing lesson?

Two very classy, skillfull fighters who between them held titles at various weights but were at their best around the Light-Middleweight limit.

Great matchup, and very difficult for me to see a clear favorite. I don't think Griffith was a class above McCallum, but his style might have been more likely to catch the eyes of the judges, and in a fight between these two I think all of the subtle intangibles would come into play. I see Griffith being awarded the 15-round decision in a fight that could justifiably go either way, one of those fights where boxing fans are split 50/50 on who really won.
