You Can argue that He was Built off of KO 1 Of Emile Griffith which was Impressive and no one had done and only the Great Monzon would duplicate.
Lost to Griffiths arch rival Luis Rodriquez over 10 in 65'
Fought Middleweight champ Joey Giardello who had 127 pro bouts and lost lopsided fight.It was only his 25th fight.
There was a Really good Documentary on Discovery Channel when The movie came out,Think it was called "The Eye Of the Hurricane"
Really Informative.Sh!!!,Cannot remember if that's the Title.Came off sort of like a Jerk sorry to say.

I'll never pretend to be a Griffith Scholar but buy no means was Griffith at the end of career when He fought Carter.He fought for another 13 or so years,Lost and Regained Title went on to win,lose and Draw against top quality guys In Rodriquez,Briscoe,Benvenuti,Dick Tiger,Napoles,Monzon,Archer,and others.Carter Caught Him when Griffith still had some Great skills Imo.
