    Does McClellan's size and power win out or does Griffith out-class him?

    The latter

    Griffith was one of the most versatile fighters of all time. He could find a way to compete against ANY style, ANY attribute. He'd box carefully early (like he did with Dick Tiger), jab and move and become more offensively aggressive gradually, almost imperceptibly... The fight would look like a toss up early on and as the rounds went on, Griffith would pull ahead and win a decision
