Who wins?

I admired Griffith with high regard, but "The Hitman", who I also admired with high regard as well would be too much for Griffith to overcome as he out-boxed him on the outside behind his long left jabs and right hands to either take a decision or late round stoppage.

Griffith I don't think is a big enough hitter to stop Hearns, and he ain't a good enough boxer to outbox him.

At welterweight, Emile Griffith wins.
At 154lbs and above, I'll pick The Hitman.
