Dick Tiger was a great middleweight--dominated Gene Fullmer and Rubin Carter!. Not known for fancy footwork, but his quick backpedaling in the Don Dunphy post-fight interview showed a defensive skill he rarely called upon when fighting.
Emile was a great fighter and over achiever. He was really a WW. In his first MW tile shot he weighed about 152 lbs and at the weigh in he had on cowboy boots to get to that weight. Tiger indeed was like a slab of iron.

This was Tiger's last fight.
He died 17 months later.
He probably already had cancer at this point.
@ppuh6tfrz646 You’re probably right. Tiger was an amazing man, in AND out of the ring.

Griffith like a jack in the box/Mexican jumping bean in reverse gear most of time: not a pretty sight. He did not come to actually fight.
There was a man that called him a F once and Griffith killed him on the ring the next day. He was but you know, he knew how to fight.
@@TheGrmany69 Griffith looks as if he was suffering from Saint Vitus Dance: certainly no chance he would "kill Tiger !"
