Montell Griffin

[marbleheadmaui]

I thought Montell was a very ordinary athlete with a GREAT trainer in Eddie Futch and he followed directions like a pro. But Montell was awfully stumpy to be a 175. He's the shorter than Floyd Mayweather and has the same reach and he was only an ok puncher.

When Futch slowed down and then retired in the late 1997 or so IIRC, so did Montell.

Montell Griffin always reminds me of Chris Byrd, small, non-big punching southpaws who had to work extra hard to stay on terms with fighters and who had some great wins and moments.
