Two sixties legends; top five/six in their respective division, which happen to among the strongest ever; both so dominant that they can be monotonously boring; both extremely workmanlike in their application. Who's greater, and who's better?
I'd shade Griffith as greater. Carlos IMO was a better fighter though. Certainly Ortiz was more naturally talented. Griffith had to work hard at things, whereas Ortiz was more of a natural.
What would you pay to watch them fight? Being a mythical matchup, both of them being the same size, etc.... What would you pay to watch that fight?
I think Griffith was the greater physical talent whereas Ortiz was the more intuitive fighter, if that makes sense.
50 cents, a bottle of bourbon, some cigarettes and a sponsored pack of Gillette razors would be my starting offer
